Okayyyyyyy? I think the Romeo is too over-reacting. The one who plays Juliet sounds a little drunk. Gentleness, love, and devotion must be present in their voices. I can't find these. I like the fact that they put themselves in their character but... they put a little TOO much. Zefirelli's version is the best in my opinion.

omg... what the fuck did you do to Shakespeare????

[LeviAustinMorris]

In my opinion, this is the way it should be performed (or at least the closest). People forget that Juliet is barely 14. Romeo is only a few years older. Teen angst and lust are alive and well in their hearts. Just because Shakespeare wrote with such beautiful language doesn't mean these children share adult love. Its angsty. Awkward. And funny. The play is tragic, but this scene (along with a number of others) is a perfect opportunity for the hilarity of natural humility. Well done, I say. :)

Wait, are we completely, 100% sure, they didn't intend to make it comedy? I can't even think straight anymore.

Mr. Romeo takes his line, too literally. They turned it into a comedy. He would've been great, if he wasn't too much. He already has a great soothing voice, it's just his movements, and exaggeration. Poor thing too, could have been a lovely play.
