Romeo and Juliet" (1968) has been my favorite movie since my English class went to see it when I was a senior in high school. I kept going back to see it~16 more times. Later, when it was re-released in a city to the north of us, I drove there to see it 10 more times.
My sister convinced me to ask to speak to the manager and to tell him about my devotion to the movie. He was so impressed that he gave me a poster, some lobby cards, and the pressbook, from which they clip items to appear in newspapers (ads, reviews, etc.). To this day, my 43rd year as a fan, I still collect memorabilia and have kept everything I collected throughout the years.
One of my prize posssessions is the special multiple-record set of the ENTIRE soundtrack, every word, every note of music, every moment from this film that always has seemed to me to be like a medieval tapestry that has come to life. I attended Renaissance faires in garb (aka costume) for 13+ years and am certain that my love of "Romeo and Juliet" encouraged that love of events. I taught myself to play the bowed psaltery and learned several pieces from Nino Rota's beautiful score, including "What Is a Youth?", as well as "The Moresca", the music to which they dance with bells.
BQ: Well, since I found it on Starz On Demand (free service), I've been watching "Hellboy" every night, sometimes twice a night, for several weeks. Does that count? The last OD film I watched so fanatically was "Tank Girl".
Before that, it was "Young Sherlock Holmes".
Honestly, I think I have a new favorite movie. After re-watching Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige" yesterday, it may very well be my favorite. The first time I watched it I really wasn't paying much attention for whatever reason, but now I love everything about it.
Brilliant film.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
