new clothes for Shakespeare

Rating: Null/10 (2 March 2013)

a long time , I avoided watching this film. too much kitsch, too different by play. but, yesterday, the curiosity won the old battle. and the impression was not really bad. yes, it is really strange. a MTV adaptation. a glitter show. but, in a strange manner, it is beautiful. maybe, not impressive but beautiful. Shakespeare is not out of its walls. and acting is good keeper of original feeling. Harold Perrineau does an extraordinary Mercutio and the chemistry between Danes and di Caprio is convincing. the delicacy of feelings has new clothes. but same soul. it is a MTV style work but, in a absolutely personal way, it is more than explosion of colors. it is the play. proof of huge courage and exuberant imagination. it is not bait for a new generation. only introduction to a world of words, instrument to basic society fundamental beauty. fascinating, exotic, delicate. a honest movie.
