grrltastic Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet is on Netflix right now.
And man oh man fuck that movie so hard. It came out the summer I was 13; I'm pretty sure my friends and I lived and breathed it for months. I still can't watch through to the end of it because it makes me sob hysterically.
Also, watching it tonight (up to about 15 minutes from the end when I had to turn it off) made me super jealous. I forgot how mad I was when I first started to learn that love doesn't work in real life like it does in the movies. The way that all-consuming passion is really just crazy as fuck and also totally doesn't last at all is such a goddamn letdown. The fact that happily ever after is really just lackluster everyday life interspersed with little bouts of "Oh hey, I remember why I like you!" Dumb.
(I mean, it's fine. It's the way things are and it's fine, but it's a pretty far cry from the way culture said it would be.)
UGH. FEELINGS.
