Life is one of the simpler of the four main stages. You simply live onward and do the tasks and complete the challenges involved. There may be bumps in the road, but somehow, you manage to skip over them every time. Living life is the simplest, yet longest stage of them all. If you were to wrap all of the stages up into one stage, they would all end up in life. Throughout life, fate, love, and death occur. People live life, and only life, when they are babies. You experience this single stage until you are old enough to decide your own fate. Juliet was restricted of the progression from life to life and fate. Her mother and her father had her life planed out for her. She was going to marry Paris and have him lead her life for her. Juliet's parents were unaccustomed to her going out against them so they were shocked once she stood her ground and truly created her own fate for the first time. On the other hand, Romeo had been living his life carefree and had taken full control of his fate from a very young age. Without parental restrictions, he was able to openly be himself, a young man who was in love and was greatly affected by his rejection, while his cousins were full out "gangsters".
I believe that we create our own fate. Every thing we do has a result, and that result has another result and so on and so forth. Romeo chose to help with the guest list, resulting in him finding Rosalyn's name on the list, resulting in Romeo going to the party, resulting in him meeting Juliet, resulting in them falling in love, resulting in Juliet rebelling against her parents, resulting in her seeking help from the minister, resulting in her faking her death, resulting in romeo not getting the letter explaining the situation, resulting in him committing suicide, resulting in her waking up and finding her lover dead, and in the end, she kills herself(pardon my long sentence). If Romeo ignored didn't bother with helping with the guest list, he would had never met Juliet, which lead to his death, but is he hadn't met her, he would had never gotten over Rosalyn, which would probably lead to his death due to his multiple rejections.
Love is something that is even more miss understood then life. It is something that is so new o us for the majority of our lives. Yes we live to see the day when we find our true love, but (1)do we really know what the ideal true love for us is? (2)Do we really know how to handle love? (3)Because it's so new to us, do we have the right to say we were in love and that we know what love is? (4)Do we need love? I don't know how to answer any of these question and i have an answer for he meaning of life(in anther post-The meaning of life-) but i don't completely understand these questions. When i come pair them to Romeo and Juliet, It gives me a small insight as to what love is. 1: Romeo thought that his ideal lover was Rosalyn, until he met Juliet, so i think that Romeo doesn't know what he wants, so he is jumping from woman to woman without thinking about what he truly desires. If Rosalyn was the first woman he found attractive, Did she become his Ideal lover, and did that ideal lover change when he met Juliet? 2:Juliet rushed into things with Romeo, in a seemingly unhealthy speed. She was blinded by her love for him because she had never felt love before. So no i don't think that she knew what she was doing when she walked into love without realizing what she was doing. 3: Romeo and Juliet didn't understand love. This romance was Juliet's first love and Romeo's second. Even if we are in a romance, that doesn't give you the right to say you know what love is. Nobody will eery truly know what love is. 4: I don't think anyone has an answer to that question. Romeo and Juliet lost their lives in the battle for love so i don't know what to say. Love is unavoidable, but something i don't think we can live without.
Death is something we fear ever day. We are also fascinated by it. We now have shows like 1,000 ways to die for the pleasure of finding out the most interesting ways to die. It's awful, but thats what curiosity causes us to do, watch people die. I often find myself wondering what happens after you die and while reading Isabelle's post that even though there will be an end of the world, what if our death is our own end of the world. I know it sounds iffy, but why not? Romeo and Juliet shared an end of their world. Romeo thought he lost Juliet, which was what he had devoted his life to. After Romeo had killed himself and Juliet had found him, She killed herself because, like Romeo, had devoted her life to him. Then there is the unknown of the after life. I don't believe in the after life, so in my ending, Romeo and Juliet just die. I find that if you add on an after life to the story, it kind of destroys the message/purpose of the story.
Music played a huge part in this movie. "...Employed music purely to tell the story. Music played a tremendous role in shaping the modern feel of the movie". Every scene f the movie wouldn't have been the same if the music wasn't there or was different. For example, the beginning poem in the front of the play(take two of it), sounds really amazing and intense because of the background music. This intentional choice made the movie more appealing to its audience. There were many other scenes that were helped by music. A scene can be sad, but if you add music to it, it can be devastating. They managed to use music in such a way that it made the movie incredible.
There are many other opinions and i want to know yours o post!
