Romeo + Juliet (1996) truly has everything…heavy religious imagery…young leo…90s fashion…a brief drag scene….neon lights…those iconic angel wings
guns labeled “sword”
being better than anything shakespeare ever produced
i dislike the implication that shakespeare wouldn’t have done the exact same thing if he were alive in the 90′s
I mean of course it’s better than anything Shakespeare ever produced, it has like an extra four hundred years of technological and cultural progress and also a necromancer to consult with his ghost.
