Task: Sentiment Analysis
Input (English): recently one night a young director named baz luhrmann could n't sleep .
he tumbled out of bed and moved over to the television where he watched mtv for an hour .
then he moved to his kitchen where he spent the same amount of time eating spoiled food .
then he took down a volume of shakespeare 's work and read it cover to cover - never really paying attention to the words or plot .
and then , as a climax , he took out his video camera and pressed the " on " button .
the result ?
william shakespeare 's romeo + juliet
- the worst film ever made and a complete failure .
though , to be fair , an interesting complete failure .
the idea at the film 's core is to make shakespeare appealing to the crowds .
this is done by moving the camera around at a rapid rate so that we ca n't see what is going on . and filming the dialogue in voice over .
and shooting leonardo dicaprio like a calvin klein model .
and making the frame go still while flashing the character 's name at the bottom .
and filming long tedious action sequences in slow motion .
i mean , man , this is the 90s , dude .
however i 've seen terrible films that are fun to watch .
( examples are batman and robin and the island of doctor moreau . )
that rule does n't apply here .
this is a film that takes itself seriously .
that is
it 's major fault .
another problem was pointed out by my friend , alex ( who was singing songs by leonard bernstein throughout . ) ; the original play is a powerful piece of work because the author remained neutral and did n't take sides .
here it 's clear that we are supposed to side with romeo .
( just look at the way they film him . )
from the begining he 's our hero and this does n't work .
and dicaprio 's awful performance does n't help .
luhrmann never decides if he wants to entertain us or enlighten us .
the result is a mess .
you can feel him striving to be something he is n't .
he tries to pull of a mix in which drag queens are filmed from purposefully arty angles .
he tries very hard .
key word : tries .
"
oh look , he 's filming above water action from below .
pretty .
what does it represent ?
" why do people do ugly things ?
i scrambled away from my tv set feeling guilty as if i could never read the play again and keep a straight face .
