The story of Romeo and Juliet is not spoiled, after all, this love tragedy should belong to common sense. A tragedy in which young people from two rival families fell in love at first sight and died in love. I haven't read the original work, nor have I seen other versions of Romeo and Juliet, so I only talk about my feelings about this movie.
Let me talk about the advantages first, that is, the appearance is very good, the acting is also online, which does not make people feel embarrassed, although the development of the plot makes me very embarrassed. Well, it seems that there is only one advantage for me, and I don't like the clothes of that period very much. I feel that women's clothes are very bloated, and the men's tights, I just don't like them.
Then let’s talk about the plot. The whole movie has left me at a loss. I have always wanted to ask why, the various behaviors of the characters make me very inexplicable. After I asked why these characters did this for almost an hour, I gave up. They I can't understand the behavior with logic at all. Then I began to think about why people at the time liked this story that seems so bloody now. Looking at the whole story, I have some conclusions, or guesses. Of course, since I didn't know much about the society at the time, these guesses are not necessarily reliable. I wrote a few paragraphs of the plot in detail, and then summarized it according to the timeline. You can jump directly to the timeline to have a look.
First of all, the story background of the plot is that the two families have feuds, which is reflected in the fact that everyone fights a group fight on the street and fights a group fight with a sword. I feel that this kind of play will kill one or two people. , But no one died, just injured. Then came the male lead, and explained that Romeo students often wandered in the grove early in the morning. I thought that Romeo had already seen Juliet at that time and was in lovesickness, but then I thought, it was wrong, I remember that they two met each other at a banquet. Well, maybe I remembered it wrong, or the plot changed in the movie? Then the facts proved that I remembered correctly and the movie was not changed. Combined with the conversation with the priest later, Romeo went to the grove because he had just broken up in love, for a girl named Rosalyn who didn't show up from the beginning to the end. Then Romeo and a group of his family's young (zhong) light (er) younger brother (nian) wore masks and ran to the banquet held by Juliet's house. Then Romeo met Juliet, and fell in love at first sight, and then met Juliet a few times in a social dance, and Juliet also fell in love with Romeo. In fact, I was fascinated by this passage. Romeo liked Juliet and I knew it, because Juliet was very beautiful, and as the priest said in the movie: "Young people’s love is not from the true heart, but only by the eyes." But Juliet is dancing. When I saw Romeo, I didn't understand it, Romeo was wearing a mask, so as long as his eyes are beautiful enough, he can fall in love at first sight. Then, the two held hands while a singer was singing. Romeo took off his mask. The two kissed without asking for their names. The progress was very fast. After that, the nanny forcibly showed Bo's sense of existence. , The two young lovers hurriedly asked someone to ask: "Who is that?" In my imagination, I thought it was two people who danced with masks, talked for a long time, took off the masks, and the banquet ended before they had time to introduce themselves. The next time they met, they knew about themselves. As a result, they skipped all these things and just kissed. I was also quite drunk, as long as my face was good. But that song is very nice, and I like the lyrics very much. After that, the plot is fast-forwarded as if pressing the accelerator key. On the night of the banquet, Romeo ran to the balcony of Juliet’s bedroom, and the two began to talk to each other, basically expressing how much I love you, for your family name and everything. It doesn't matter, the last two people decided: Let's get married tomorrow!
Early the next morning, Romeo went to find the priest. The priest was very happy at first: You finally came out of Rosalie~. Then the little brother Romeo said about him and Juliet, the priest was very angry, and he also taught him: "Young people's love does not come from the true heart, but only depends on the eyes." Well, I have repeated this sentence, this is my favorite sentence in the whole movie. Then I was very moved, and finally a person living in a normal world appeared. However, in the next second, the priest changed his mind completely unobtrusively. I will help you. This will solve your feud problem. You will come to me to witness your marriage later! Seeing this, I have given up asking about the behavioral logic of these characters. This is a world full of love. If you have love, you have everything. The others don’t matter. As for
Juliet, I didn’t think of them at all. It’s a feud. You need to keep a low profile when contacting each other. She directly asked her nanny, who was also very sensible. She didn’t persuade Juliet to think about the relationship between the two families. She went to find Romeo on the street and eat around. The melon crowd didn’t think there was any problem with the two of them having a chat. After that, the nanny went home very happily and said to Juliet: “Romeo is super reliable. He asked you to go to the priest in the afternoon so you guys will get married. The point is him. Very handsome." Sure enough, Yan is justice, and then two handsome men and beauties who have known each other for less than 24 hours and whose families are feuds are married.
But such a development cannot be tragic, so the zhon (er) and the younger (shao) brother (nian) of the previous two families came out to show off their sense of existence, and they still drew out their swords if they didn’t agree with each other. . Then Romeo took a look, no, how come my good buddies are fighting with Juliet's cousin, ah, I am embarrassed and embarrassed, I must stop them. Under Romeo’s organization, Romeo’s good buddies were successfully stabbed with a sword, and then died amidst the laughter of various melon-eating people. Once he died, the melon-eating people were all covered: he really hurt so much. Seriously, he really died. He just clutched his chest, making it so difficult for us to find a doctor. Isn't he acting? ! To be honest, if Romeo didn’t rush out to stop it, it’s probably fine for both of them. After all, nobody died in the big melee at the beginning, and I was injured. This kind of singles between two people killed himself, too. Quite heartbroken. But well, if the good buddies do not die, the plot can't go on. So for the love of Romeo and Juliet, go with peace of mind, good buddies, and the cousin will go with you right away. Yes, Romeo broke out instantly after seeing his good buddy dead. I wanted to kill my cousin to avenge my good buddy, so he didn't use the sword to rush to find his cousin. Who remembers to take a sword under impulsiveness, and under impulsiveness, he wouldn’t care if his cousin is surrounded by a group of nian (zhong) light (er) young (shao) brothers. However, as the male lead, the young (zhong) light (er) and the young (shao) brother (nian) are still very powerful. They caught up with the male lead in time and sent the sword. Then the two of them fought in the dust. After being together, Romeo completely forgot that this was his wife's cousin, and stabbed his cousin to death with a sword, and his cousin died without a struggle.
Because Romeo killed his cousin in order to avenge his good buddy, Romeo didn't have to suffer the death penalty, he would only be exiled. Before leaving, he ran to Juliet's place and slept for a while. My dear brother Jun and his cousin had a lot of heartache, and they were still in the mood when they died. But to be honest, this paragraph is very eye-catching. It’s dawn and Romeo is leaving. Juliet’s whole body is not good because she has to be separated from her lover. At this time, the maternal master came out to brush her presence: My dear daughter, there is good news. You will be with the Earl on Thursday. That is, the person in charge of this place is married. Juliet's whole person is not good, and I am very miserable. Father, you told the earl at the beginning of the movie that Juliet will decide whether to marry him or not. It's really not good to go back and forth. Of course Juliet is unwilling to marry. My father is very angry, and my mother is also very angry. Basically, if you don't marry, you will get out of this house. You are not my daughter. Well, your daughter’s cousin just died and asked her to marry. It’s not good. At this time, Juliet asked for help from the only nanny who knew it. As a result, the nanny’s IQ went online. She told Juliet very sensibly that Romeo was basically impossible to come back, and he came back secretly. In comparison, the earl is awesome, you Just marry the earl, the second marriage is better than the first, that’s great, ah. After Juliet listened, she really broke down. At this time, I can only go to the priest and ask for help. Of course the priest is willing to help, what a beautiful little couple, how can he not help. The priest made a perfect proposal for Juliet to drink the fake death medicine the night before the wedding, and then the priest and Romeo went to the cemetery together to wait for her to wake up, and finally they could elope happily. But there was a small problem in the implementation of this plan. Romeo’s servant rode faster than the postman, so Romeo did not receive a letter about the suspended animation plan. He thought that Juliet was really dead, so he flew back to die in love, and Juliet woke up. At first glance, Romeo was dead and committed suicide with a sword. Then the police officer on the night patrol found the bodies of the two people. In the end, the two families respectively carried the bodies of the two and appeared in front of the earl. The earl concluded his speech: Look at the consequences of your hatred. Of course, I did not pay attention to it. To carry a part of the pot.
After watching this movie, I sorted out the timeline and found that this story was a short-term turning point.
Sunday: In the morning, the two families had a group fight. In the evening, Romeo and Juliet fell in love at first sight.
Monday: Romeo went to see the priest early in the morning. The two got married in secret in the afternoon, and then two people died in a melee. Romeo was banished, but he still hurry to find Juliet and roll a bed sheet. (They are so busy
on Monday...) Tuesday: As soon as the morning wakes up, Romeo takes the time to withdraw. Juliet is told to marry the earl on Thursday, and Juliet goes to the priest to discuss countermeasures. (To be honest, isn’t it a good idea for my cousin Weihan to hold a wedding like this? A person died at home on Monday, and I decided to come to the wedding on Thursday on Tuesday. Is this a good thing?)
Wednesday: Juliet drinks the fake death medicine before going to bed.
Thursday: Everyone finds out Juliet died, Juliet was buried, Romeo did not receive the letter, his servant saw Juliet dead and rushed over to tell Romeo. Romeo rushed back in the evening and committed suicide without knowing it. Juliet woke up and saw that her heart was broken and she also committed suicide.
After reading the timeline, I found a problem, that is, the delivery of letters. In the movie, when the priest gave the letter to the postman, it was still dark, I don't know if it was dawn or dusk. Then Romeo's servant saw Juliet's funeral and hurriedly rode to deliver a letter to Romeo. In the process, he rode a fast horse and passed one person, who should be the postman. This shows that Romeo has not received the priest's letter. Even if Juliet’s funeral was early in the morning, the servant immediately went to inform Romeo when he saw the funeral, and the two returned immediately, which means that Romeo’s place was a half-day rush. Although the postman seemed to be riding a donkey, the suspended animation plan was set on Tuesday. If the priest delivers the letter early in the morning on Wednesday, the postman will have almost a day and a half to deliver the letter. In other words, the priest didn't know why, he arranged for the letter to be delivered after a long time. After writing this paragraph, I found that I really don't have any romantic cells. It's a bit convulsive to watch a romance movie and think so much.
After watching the movie, I have been wondering whether this movie will make me feel good if some adjustments are made. The answer I came up with is yes. The flaw in this movie is that the character's behavioral logic is very strange, but if the rhythm of the whole story is adjusted, it should be much better. I think this movie has too little description of Romeo and Juliet falling in love. Romeo and Juliet are both set to be about fourteen years old in the original work and in the movie. Romeo didn't say that, but Juliet was under fourteen. In this age group, most fourteen-year-old girls have become mothers based on their backgrounds. They are in the period when they are most looking forward to love. They have infinite curiosity about love, imagination and expectation. Love at first sight is a very reasonable setting. . But there is a difference between being in love at first sight and embracing each other and kissing in less than ten minutes. To be honest, it makes me a little embarrassed to hug and kiss if they don't agree with each other. Two people fell in love with each other at first sight while dancing, and then began to test each other while singing, but it was too fast for two people to kiss each other before the end of a song. Make more eye contact between two people. Two people feel shy and look away after making eye contact, but can't help but want to look at each other, or want to take the initiative but are afraid of the other's rejection, etc. Small details can better reflect the two people. Love at first sight, love at second sight, too fast progress gave me a sudden and cheap feeling, of course, this may be a cultural difference.
At the same time, the fighting scene can really be shorter, and the dead good buddies and cousins should not be given so many scenes for the characters who were just cannon fodder purely for the development of the story. In a two-hour movie, it is impossible to describe all the characters in a very full and three-dimensional manner. This distribution of the scenes makes my sense of these two people very delicate. I never knew how these two people had so many scenes, when they died. Come to the feeling of "that's how it is". Personally, I feel that the focus of the drama should still be on Romeo. Romeo was caught in the entanglement between the two families, and then went crazy by the death of his good buddies, and regretted after killing his cousin. It turned out that Romeo's emotional conversion performance was insufficient, and the two cannon fodder frantically brushed a wave of existence. Similarly, Juliet should also have more room to express her entanglement, with her lover on the one hand, and cousin and family killed by her lover on the other. This entanglement passed in a flash. Juliet immediately chose a lover. It seemed that this role was very selfish and ruthless. Of course, Romeo also had this problem. The family felt like giving up when the family said it was very irresponsible.
The acting skills of the male and female protagonists are still very good. Aside from the logic of the plot, they express the mood of the characters very well. If there is more space, the roles they show should be more full and three-dimensional.
Finally, it is the question I have been thinking about in the second half of the film, why this story was popular at the time. One must be that there were not many kinds of stories at the time, and this kind of plot full of blood was very fresh at the time. The second is that its theme is freedom, sublime love, and the feeling of watching movies is that most people at that time should not be able to freely choose their marriage partner, especially the nobles have to consider many factors, so this kind of freedom and beauty Love makes people yearn for. The last one is its tragic ending. Romeo and Juliet’s martyrdom left love at the most beautiful moment, and they will always look the most beautiful. If they did not die, the suspended animation plan succeeded, and they eloped happily. But will the days after the elopement really be pleasant? I guess not. When they are most affectionate, they can drink enough water, but when the wave of love subsides, they have to face reality. Both of them are aristocrats who are accustomed to a rich material life. At the same time, their rich material life comes from their family rather than themselves. Even if Romeo is exiled, he still has a family to provide him with material support, but will Romeo's family accept Juliet? Probably not. Will Juliet's family accept them? Probably not. Poor and lowly married couples are sad, and they are likely to end up unhappy and complain to each other. So the story must stop at a poignant culmination, and cannot continue to develop.
