...as timeless as love itself.
William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet
![Page 5: A pair of star crossd lovers take their life From age to age One classic story is…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062512/5542eb4a497959361e8b67d3/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, USA, 1996, 120 min., Regia di Baz Luhrmann.
Una delle storie d’amore più famose della letteratura è quella di Romeo e Juliet (1595). Il
loro amore appassionato ma contrastato, che si conclude con il suicidio di entrambi, è narrato dalla tragedia di W. Shakespeare. Il regista
australiano Luhrmann rispetta il testo shakespeariano alla lettera, come dichiara il
titolo stesso del film. Ma proprio questa fedeltà al testo accresce il contrasto con
l’ambientazione in una Verona post-moderna
![Page 6: A pair of star crossd lovers take their life From age to age One classic story is…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062512/5542eb4a497959361e8b67d3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Dove le bande rivali dei Capuleti e dei Montecchi si affrontano in duelli stile
western o si esibiscono in musical dal look trasgressivo. La parola poetica è quella originale, che appartiene ad un mondo passato, è in versi e in rima, mentre le
immagini appartengono a una metropoli postindustriale, una sorta di California da telefilm, multietnica, violenta, lussuosa,
sempre in frenetico movimento.
![Page 7: A pair of star crossd lovers take their life From age to age One classic story is…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062512/5542eb4a497959361e8b67d3/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Questo contrasto tra parole ed immagini non è gratuito: esalta proprio il tema di fondo della
tragedia shakespeariana – un amore travolgente, ma contrastato e impossibile, un
amore che sfocia nella morte. Luhrmann vince così con successo la sfida di mettere
in scena nel modo più originale e sconcertante proprio quell’opera di
Shakespeare che conta, nella storia del cinema, il maggior numero di adattamenti
cinematografici (80!).
![Page 8: A pair of star crossd lovers take their life From age to age One classic story is…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062512/5542eb4a497959361e8b67d3/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Tutto il film è impostato sull’artificio della contrapposizione degli stili e sulla continua continua citazione. La sequenza del duello
iniziale è esemplare:il montaggio è frenetico, alterna continuamente un ritmo velocissimo
al rallentamento estremo, le panoramiche vertiginose dall’elicottero al dettaglio
iperrealistico; abbondano gli effetti speciali; inoltre vi è un esplicito richiamo ai western di Sergio Leone o ai film d’azione di John Woo
(il regista di Mission Impossible).

Un altro episodio fondamentale è quello della festa nella villa dei Capuleti, che
unisce l’omaggio al musical e al videoclip con il gusto della
trasgressione e del travestitismo. Solo Romeo e Giulietta, che qui si
conoscono e si innamorano, sono lenti, misurati, silenziosi, diversi da tutti gli
altri.

Il messaggio fondamentale del film è affidato a padre Lorenzo:
“Amatevi con moderazione, le gioie violente hanno violenta fine…”.
Il film mette in scena un mondo di “gioie violente”, a cui la lenta concentrazione dei
protagonisti non riesce ad opporsi, fino alla “violenta fine”. L’annunciatrice di un
telegiornale, all’inizio e alla fine, ci assicura che questo è accaduto un tempo ma
continua e continuerà ad accadere sempre.

THE FRIARNotice how the Friar is
dressed when he first
appears in the movie… He’s
with no clothes and has a tattoo cross on his
back.

![Page 35: A pair of star crossd lovers take their life From age to age One classic story is…](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062512/5542eb4a497959361e8b67d3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Shakespeare’s tragedy is postponed to modern times in order to let this tragedy be known as
drama, comedy, and tragedy all in one.
The purpose of this story is to build a world that expressed the social and economic realities of
Shakespeare’s times in the 20th century images.
To create the image of a city where religion and the state are as one, a giant statue of Jesus has been put in the real Mexico City, where the movie took
place.
