The Baz Luhrman movie Romeo + Juliet also made me cringe. Claire Danes and Leo DiCaprio proved beyond all doubt that Shakespearean actors are a rare talent and a breed onto themselves. Sadly neither lead actor was among them.
I'm with Lynn on this one. Leo is a fine actor, he was actually amazing in
the Aviator, at times even looking like Hughes. After seeing him in
Blood Diamond, my friend, an avowed Leo-hater turned and said "I'll never call him Di
Crapio again."
As for Baz's
Romeo + Juliet, I'm not sure what you were expecting, I mean it is Baz after all, but I thought it was an inspired adaptation and I really enjoyed its wild kinetic energy. One cannot live on classical acting alone
And how can anyone NOT love
Trainspotting!? It's a very well made film and agreat adaptation of the novel. In fact, except for Th
e Chronicles of Riddick &
40 Days & 40 Nights, most of the movies mentioned have been critically acclaimed!
I don't mean to attack anyone, i'm just shocked is all. Not at all what I was expecting when I clicked on this thread. Maybe that's a good thing
Anyhoo, I cringe whenever I see:
-anyone in a fat suit, including Travolta in Hairspray
-food being thrown at people, unless it's not for laughs.
-Robin Williams in a drama
