Writers: William Shakespeare(play), Baz Luhrmann(Screenplay), Craig Pearce(screenplay)

Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio(Romeo), Claire Danes(Juliet), John Leguizamo(Tybalt), Harold Perrineau(Mercutio), Pete Postlethwaite(Father Laurence)

   Romeo + Juliet is based on a William Shakespeare's play which is called Romeo and Juliet. There is a conflict between Motague and Capulet in modern Verona, Italy. A young couple finally dies for their pure love.

  

   The film makes me to be absorbed to watch it than the original play because the background of film is modern society where I live now and an actor who is Leonardo DiCaprio. They use guns so make intensive tensions between two family's conflict. It also uses slow motions about their fight, so viewers can feel more thrilled and suspence. Music are really perfect every single scene. It helps to understand better with dialogues. My favourite scene is Mercutio's death. When he is upset and fights for Romeo and gets injured by Tyblat, He talks himself. At this situation, the weather is suddenly changed to be tough and rainning as he's mood has been changed. I love the way to express the feeling with screen and music. It's impressive to not to forget this scene.

A Review of 'She's The Man'

She’s the Man

03.05.2007(South Korea)

105min- Comedy, Romance

Director: Andy Fickman

Writers: Ewan Lesile(screen play and story), Karen McCullah Lutz(screen play), and Kirsten Smith(screen play)

Stars: Amanda Bynes(Viola), Laura Ramsey(Olivia), James Kirk(Sebastian), Channing Tatum(Duke)

‘She’s the Man’ is mostly similar a play called The Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. It is that a twins are separated when ship wrecks in somewhere Italy. Viola works as a servant in palace of the Duke and meets Olivia. Olivia falls in love with Viola, but she disguised as a man and has a feeling toward the Duke. Finally every single secret is revealed and they get married both of them.

 A flim, She’s the Man, is that Sebastian flies away to London for a couple weeks, so Viola goes to his boarding school instead of him. She disguises and joins the school football team. She has been growing a feeling toward Duke, and finally she reveals her secret and they get together at last. After watching this, I am so excited that Viola reveals her secret and debuts to social club with Duke. I like the setting where takes place at school because it is possible to experience American school culture indirectly. Ideas that living as a man, and woman likes man’s sports attaches my attention to enjoy the film.

First post: Yumi's Favourite Film

    My favourite film is 'The King's Speech' in recently because this flim is my latest film to go to cimema and i love to know about british history. Moreover, Colin Firth is my favourite actor who is starred as the King George VI. This flim makes me fresh to know about behind story of Royal family and the king himself. the time when this film is taken was just happened few decades ago,so it has stronger interest for me comparing any other british historical films.

   This film is about the king who has a problem to give a speech to the public and himself has been solving his problem with a language therapist during second world war. The therapist helps the king to overcome his youth trauma and can be developed to give speechs himself. Finally, he overcomes his problem and become a great king.
