The story was not really original, but that was fine. I just think it left much to be desired in relation to the acting and the pacing. Also, there wasn’t that much chemistry between the leads. It was an OK watch but I definitely don’t think I’ll be watching it again.

”you’re no longer chinese anyway.”

more ferrara’s west side story than a direct r+j adaptation, but all the same it’s still got that shakespeare soul. not his best work but still very strong, esp w use of shadows and the occasional action sequences. refocus away from the romance didn’t even really take that much away from me because it’s still very much an interpersonal first and intergroup story second. never not engaging.

you will never not be Of Verona. this is, one day, what will kill you.

Romeo and Juliet drenched in the beautifully sleazy 80s New York to the point where it starts to more resemble West Side Story. A timeless story told decently here. The aesthetic and the music is so 80s and I can't help but love it. The plot becomes unnecessarily convoluted, often prioritizing the gang war to the underdeveloped romance between the leads. Doesn't help that the acting in many places is quite lackluster. That said I had a blast with this and enjoyed the hell out of the this and it's style. #rawr
