LEO created a legacy with this role, there can never ever be a better Romeo than him... period.

[@hiimjohnquinones2971]

He's saying love hits you like a bus and leaves you confused and aching. That's why he's moody on the beach, in love with Roseline because... He saw her once? Anyway that's kinda like the point of what he's saying tho, he doesn't know her and he's still in pain from how much he thinks he loves her. This is also such a good representation of how youth is tender and new, and he is naive to love, but not to it's pain. Tormented by what he believes love to be, he walks the beach in his "artificial night". Shakespeare is still so relevant in many ways, one main one being how he represents their budding relationship and how they totally uhauled because they wanted everything to be permanent. Thank you for coming to my ted talk and yes I was THAT person in the rj unit in high school 😙✌️

[@florecilladelbosqi]

I love this movie. It just came to my mind, this music, this scene. I saw it as an almost-teenager, and the whole idea of it shocked me. I just knew Shakespeare was elevated and impossible to understand, but this movie is Shakespeare, the real Shakespeare, accessible and true. It made me want to read some of his books.

[@clemiandrews1384]

Baz Luhrmann, the director, is a genius and perfectly captured the essence of the play! as well as reading shakespeare, if you like the style you sould 100% watch more of his stuff, its incredible!!

It is, the music, makes you want to lie on the beach with a chick on the shore looking at the night sky. Its dfntly an artistic film!

[@thomasgoes1986]

A detail I really love is how this song plays twice in the movie. The first time is in this scene, where romeo is intentionally brooding and trying tk get away from people. The next time the song plays is also when romeo is all alone except that time it was because he was exiled, to which he said that exile would be worse than death. The only difference between those two scenes is that in the second one, romeo has experienced juliet's love and devotion.

[@agenttheater5]

Great point. Plus there's what he's writing. Here he's talking about contraries and sounds melancholy. Later in Mantua he's much more hopeful and is marvelling at his dreams instead of worrying about them.

[@stephanieexclusif]

Oh my goodness, this scene is so beautiful to me. Leonardo DiCaprio + Talk Show Host in the background is heaven to my eyes and ears.
