Wow! Really! Give this one a chance!!

Rating: 9/10 (9 September 2006)

I'm sick of all these self-absorbed people "commenting" on movies they wouldn't have the gal, guts, brains or balls to make. Among these comments, I've seen this movie called "contrived", "self-important" and "forgettable". These people don't know much.
Why is it that people can't watch a movie and appreciate it for what the writer, director and crew were trying to portray? Even if it may have fell short? (Which this movie DID NOT!) Baz has an amazing visual eye and a real knack for finding music that rips us down to the core. I personally believe one of the most beautiful and moving scenes in this entire film is when Romeo and Juliet first meet each other with fleeting glances through the aquarium glass, to that AMAZING song, "Kissing You" by Des'ree.
And to everyone that said it wasn't original seeing guys with dyed hair and unbuttoned Hawaiian shirts running around reciting Shakespeare, well... I'm sad for you.
I don't have much to say for this movie, because when this movie really shines, I can't come up with words, it just makes me FEEL. I'm sorry for the people who can sit through this movie and not feel a thing because they're too busy thinking of reasons to hate it.
See this movie and respect it as art, because none of us here made it, and none of us here could have made it any better.
