Mercutio/Romeo- Always

[vocoloidfreak11]

wtf

[MegaOrwell1984]

The music in this is awesome. :)

[RainOfFire4]

This is an amazing video. I love the way you interpreted the characters. Your use of the clips is perfect, I could have followed that storyline even without the description, which is definitely saying something.

All in all, you did a great job, and this is one of my new favorite videos.^^

[sasuko321]

i think its cute

[darkxdreamsxbeloved]

Hey, I know you've been getting a lot of comments about how these two are/aren't gay, so I thought you might like to here this: I love this video. It is amazing. You match the scenes, and you can follow the plot. I especially love the part where it looks like Romeo is saying "done with you." This video is amazing. Ignore what everyone else says: including me. It's only your opinion that counts.

[AmazingAriesQueen]

ya they totally are!

[FireravensUnlimited]

pfft mercutio and romeo arent gay.

[AccidentalRebel9]

I agree with this video.

It's also true what TheChiniz said... many others have seen this relationship.

I am in fact doing this play and we're using the tension between the two as backstory.

although yes... I AM a girl, but that was part of the directors vision.

The relationship though... is Shakespears.

[TheChiniiz]

So as concerning Romeo, he is the archetype of the Petrarquian lover, in love with love, no matter who embodies it (well, he was craving for Rosaline and the next morning he dies for Juliet's love... loyal, isn't he ?) and Mercutio is not a clue to be eluded. Even though Shakespeare hasn't formulated it clearly (whereas he'd done for Mercutio's sexual ambiguity) this is a very interessant way to read out both character's chaotic psyhologies. The video is cool, anyway.

[TheChiniiz]

About Shakespeare's work, considering a homosexual relationship between R and M isn't at all 'bastardizing' the classic. Many authors and literary critics made a similar reading of Mercutio. He is the character of liminality (as not part of the Capulet nor of the Montague, he dies saying "A plague a both your houses") and homosexuality is precisely an incarnation of liminality.

[LydiaTheLoveableOne]

Wow..A clever idea. I like this. It is plausible too.

And very cleverly done.

I really like this video.

[hockeyplayer516]

sorry even if shakespeare did have some excentric flings i dont believe that the portrayal of mercutio and romeo is an accurate assumtion

[animeme220]

Who says everything has to be accurate? Maybe this pairing wasn't what Shakespeare had in mind, but are people not allowed to create their own ideas? Can people not imagine something different, or must we obide by the strict confines that are "normality"? Let people imagine as they will, for if they create it, it doesn't mean it is true.

[alfalhomi]

Not really. If you care so much about fighting against the "confines of normality", maybe you should make up your own love story instead of bastardizing a timeless classic.

[animeme220]

But this isn't the timeless classic; this is a remake. The timeless classic existed only in Shakespeare's time. For you expect nothing ever to change and adapt? Yes, I could go out and write my own story, and what would that do? The confines of normality have obviously not let me express my ideas in their original intent; for I personally do not support this couple. That does not mean, though, that I can bash it because it is something opposite of what I believe. So stop living in the past.

[alfalhomi]

"Something opposite of what I believe"

Excuse me for believing in individuality and creativity. But I guess that not all of us are creative enough to make their own works of art and have to rely on mooching off of others.

[animeme220]

Then how do you explain the making of this movie? For it, too, was "mooching off of others." And, if what you say is true, so is every remake, sequel, and book-to-movie; and that covers about half of the movies of today. So do you care to explain why you can bash this one video and not all the directors and actors who so carelessly "mooch" off of ideas everyday?

[AmazingAriesQueen]

what the hell? totally beside the point!

[AmazingAriesQueen]

I absolutely is not "bastardizing"!!!!

There is nothing bad about homosexuality, and are you shakespeare? can you tell that he didnt have hidden meanings? Mercutio, i think, was gay, and who says he cant be in love with romeo??? So what if he was? good for him!

[EinEdward]

dumbass extreme liberal tool.

[cabby124]

lol

[nendochan]

Merctuio/Romeo is the epitome of tragic denial~ This video is great, even if the movie wasn't so much...

[animefushigi]

yes! Although I don't necessarily like this movie's portrayal of Mercutio, I do like the pairing! I'm so happy to find a video dedicated to thier (rather obvious) chemistry/romance~ ^-^

[nendochan]

'danna, you are my hero for finding this Mercutio?Romeo stuff!

[animefushigi]

really? i think that i just have no life!

[nendochan]

Well then, I am no longer in possession of one myself! xD

[guapagirl1996]

lol loved it. that was the first romeo and juliet film i ever saw and probably was the best. This vid was awesome!

[Hammeh08]

lol funny story line! :D

[lilrubberduckie]

HAHA YES! Romeo&Mercutio ftw.

I was trying to argue with my friend about this pairing in English, and watching this makes me feel 100 x better (:

Awesome awesome awesome vid. (:

[KyotoRose]

We had a discussion about this in class. It is heavily implied in the play that Mercutio was indeed in love with Romeo. The speech Mercutio gives in Act II in particular expresses his frustration because of Romeo's interest in girls.

[GADNAMMIT]

hmn hmn hmn

homoerotic fan vids Laurism?

Interesting angle indeed.

[00h005aug3r]

[joycemiester]

Mercutio was the best out of this film!

[lauraism]

It's by Saliva. I'll put it in the description, thanks for reminding me!

[joycemiester]

Thanks:)

Ill download it tonight

[falconbeach1]

holy crap! I love this :P

I'm playing Mercutio in an upcoming production.

We had to do a paper on Romeo and Juliet, and some students wrote about the love affair between the two.

This made my day...

[pepperwhite]

what type of car is that silver convertible?

[StrawerryJohnnyNummy]

Is Mercutio gay in the movie??

[lauraism]

It's not implied...some speculate about it... I like to think his character is gay, yes. I find it an interesting angle ^_^

[SunnyHappy2008]

They tried to make it look that way, yes

[benhunsaker]

This particular movie plays it up a lot more than others, i.e. the drag ballad. Critics have been making the claim since the play was written. True or not, it's always fun to speculate about Romeo and his best "friend".
