This movie is a masterpiece of casting, acting & content. Superb in every way & completely beleivable. Your video representation & performance of this song are the best I ever seen/heard by far. Bravo.
Introducing guns, plans, cars, thongs, etc. ruined Romeo & Juliet. If it were possible, West Side Story, etc. would've eclipsed Romeo & Juliet, given the resources modern playwrights, writers, & publishers have over Shakespeare & others of his time. To really "remake" Romeo & Juliet, the original setting of medieval Europe (during 100s of years in which the Church tortured & burnt people at will) had to be the "stage."
I watched the DiCaprio "remake" (for no more than a few minutes, that's all I could tolerate) & I had nightmares. I thought it was Dirty Harry having nightmares over his spaghetti western. Romeo & Juliet was not simply a story; it's a story firmly rooted in a imaginary past before the advent of modern ideas, devices, & science. Those were the days of alchemy & magic & fairy tales in an imaginary, alternate universe...
@foreverandalways430 Back in 1996, the remake of Romeo and Juliet of Leonardo DiCaprio abridged modernization of William Shakespeare's romantic tragedy
My mum plays this on piano (i play it too, the nino rota sheets arranged by henry mancini). She and I both love the song, but she says, "this song sounds SO hopeful! Yet by the end they're all dead!"
My father died 2 weeks ago. As a child, my mother borrowed this album from the local library and played as she put my brother and myself to sleep. It had been their first date movie. For them, it was very risque in 1968. I think of this song and their love.
My Favourite film ever they were beautiful together! Olivia Hussey was the most stunning looking Girl I have ever cast eyes upon.. I remember seeing this film at Senior School in the 1st Year.. I have the DVD Franco Zeffereli captured this Story perfectly in this Film.. Thanks for posting the voice in the background is pretty and ideal for the photo shots..
Whoa. I can't believe this film was made on 1968. That dude lookslike Zac Efron(he is so handsome). And that girl looks so pretty. I wonder how they look like now... hmm. Anyway, Romeo and Juliet are the greatest love story ever told =D
@MeNameAreYourName Olivia Hussey is one of those incredible woman who aged so gracefully. I like to think that if Romeo and Juliet had escaped their idiot family and lived to ripe old age, Juliet would look like Olvia Hussey today.
the story of Romeo and Juliet works so well, because they both were just kids. she being only 13. it's not mature love. although they really did love one another. it's stupid love. (not trying to get people upset here) mature love has control. and walks in using wisdom and self control. stupid love. runs and falls into a deep pit and makes sometimes deadly decisions. as these two and countless others in the world have done. over what they felt was the right thing to do. (at the time)
@itsmister2u Disagree. You are ignoring that people married very young in the 14th century (1303 to be exact) and they do this because the average life expectancy was only about 35 years. Most women also died giving birth to their 1st child. And this does not count the onset of disease, wars, and famine. They had to squeeze very ounce of life from the precious short life. Unlike people today who live as if life will never end.
Listening to a music like this which time has buried deep into the recess of our brain suddenly wake us up triggering moments once forgotten to flood us with excitement and calm.... and joy and deep appreciation of the past wishing we were there again... Bravo and what a wonderful voice you have....
This freakin rocks :) Never doubt yourself, you have no reason to. Keep it up lol and put in on Limewire because I would love to have a version of it on my Ipod
@rutledal A time for us, some day there'll be When chains are torn by courage born of a love that's free A time when dreams so long denied can flourish As we unveil the love we now must hide A time for us, at last to see A life worthwhile for you and me And with our love, through tears and thorns We will endure as we pass surely through every storm A time for us, some day there'll be a new world A world of shining hope for you and me
The greatest ironies of life: having the right person at the wrong time, having the wrong person when the time is right, and finding out that you love someone after that person walks out of your sight
This does not sound "quite poor" at all! I am playing the piano version at my teacher's house tonight (I am at best and intermediate player). These vocals and balance and dynamics will *definitely* help me hear the song in my head while I am playing! Thanks :)
This is beautiful! You have a great voice, and the guitar is haunting. Really nice mastery on the vocals...great passion in a respectful way...your love for the song is very apparent. I also love the level of reverb/echo in there on the recording. Thanks for sharing this.
where did you find these pictures? i love this movie, and i'm trying to find many pictures of olivia hussey as juliet for a project, and i'm having difficulty. if you could help me that'd be awesome =)
Wonderfully sung version. One of the most beautiful songs ever written. I still prefer the classical violin version from Romeo & Juliet without the lyrics, but this is the best version with the words that's out there, I'd say.
