People, I read most of the posts, but no one pointed this out. So I will.
This was the FIRST Romeo and Juliet where the actors were of the similar age as Shakespeare wrote it. This is the DEFINITIVE version of this reading of R&J.
I watched this at school today, and in the scene when they're in bed together(after romeo kills tybalt and is banished from verona, Juliet's tits can be seen for like a second.
To dislike beauty this stunning is to be blind to all reality. I pity the 14 people who cant see without their issues clouding this intensely beautiful imagery.
I made a demo torch song about Hamlet’s Ophelia; it’s about the greatness and inevitable tragedy of loving unconditionally in human relationships. I wanna share this for free before I release it in studio version. This is not just for fans of Shakespeare and the theatre; this is for all people who have loved and got their hearts broken in return.
Check it out in my channel or in the response of this awesome video.
@klutzydork1412 If you read the play, thats pretty much how it is. No more than obsessive teenage crushes, really. Its obvious because of how fast it all happens: they kiss within 30 seconds of meeting, the next morning they marry, a day later they consummate....yeah.
The Zeffirelli version of Romeo and Juliet is the standard. It is a miraculous production. The casting of two unknown youths, Whiting and Hussey, was inspired. He found two youths at their perfection for the parts. The music was superb. The sets and scenery unsurpassed. Perfection in motion picture making.
This version will never, never be bettered. The Italian director Zeffirelli was the maestro. His use of colour and cinematography was superb. The cast was impeccable; nobody out of kilter or miscast and the two lovers the best looking actors of the sixties at that time. A film to be watched over and over again.
@9807008006 your eye sight needs to be corrected on a very large scale. May I suggest an optometrist or better yet an ophthalmologist. Loenard Whitting is far more better looking and talanted that your zacy boy! No doubt you are of a similar age to zac efron with an IQ that is slightly lower than your shoe size!
@whoosh1965 WELL SAID!!! Leonard all the way!!! I was drooling through the entire movie over him when we watched it in my high school english class :P <3
@GianneDaSamurai I AGREE!!! and i commented on another video saying they are XD then i ended up listening to the soundtrack of house of flying daggers
I want this song in my wedding. It's perfect, and beautiful. It makes me cry. Could you display and express love in a better way? I think not. Thank you God for Shakespeare and Romeo and Juliet.
Absolutely agree,xbox!! Don't waste your life on the 1954 version starring Laurence Harvey and Susan Shentall- a 10 year old corpse has more vitality that this ghastly offering.
this is one of the best videos i've seen...the music is magnificent and the pictures are in harmony with it...thank you very much for the tears u've brought to my eyes...thank you =))))
Oliva was only 17 when she played the role of juliet and Juliet was ment to be 14. Leonard was only 18 when he played the role of Romeo but Romeo was ment to be only 16
@KaitlinHyndieee olivia was actually 15 not 17 when she played juliet, and Leonard was 17 when he played romeo, if u dont believe me go see the video, they interviewed olivia like years after the movie came out (she was middle aged).
It's really sad, i have never watched this version of Romeo and Juliet back to 1968. It's so long time ago :O when i see at the time is going that fast make me sad.. i have a romeo and juliet realitionship with my boyfriend... everything is so sad.. this people is so old now.. good movie.
romeo=looks like Zach efron mixed with my perfectly hot crush,im so not the only one that thinks that! umm eww they 'did it' in the movie? i dont remember them getting that busy in the play
