Show Notes
Baz Luhrmann made a bold choice with his adaptation of William Shakespeare's classic tale of tragic love by having his adaptation take place in a modern setting, but with characters who still speak the lines as originally written. In episode 375, join Luke Elliott & James Bailey as they explore this bold experiment, react to Tybalt and Mercutio performances to remember, debate Leonardo DiCaprio's early acting choices, consider Claire Danes comments about Leo, learn some wild behind-the-scenes details, unpack the water as death metaphor, and debate the few notable changes made to source material. They finish out by casting their votes on which they ultimately prefer: the play or the movie!
