This film uses WATERas it’s leading symbol. Water represents purity and cleanliness along with escapism. Yet as the film continues on, the water world becomes threatened. After Tybalts death everything that the water represented between the couple is now gone, their innocence and hope thus resulting in their belief that death is the only way they can ever be together.
Today is the day when I celebrate my secondary school Literature teacher who, after making us 14-year-olds read Shakespeare, proceeded on to play this movie for us and then encourage us to make our own modern adaptations of scenes from the play. You have my eternal gratitude for instilling the love of Shakespeare in me.
- And when I shall die, take him and cut him up in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will fall in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun.
- Did my heart love ‘til now? Forswear its sight. For I never saw true beauty 'til this night.
- Goodnight, goodnight! Parting is such sweet sorrow that I shall say goodnight till it be morrow.
- How art thou out of breath when thou hast breath to say to me that thou art out of breath? Is the news good or bad, answer to that.
- A glooming peace this morning with it brings. The sun for sorrow will not show his head. Go hence and have more talk of these sad things. Some shall be pardoned, and some punished. For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
- Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter - tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther… And one fine morning - So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
- All the bright precious things fade so fast… and they don’t come back.
- Well, I don’t care. He gives large parties, and I like large parties - they’re so intimate. Small parties, there isn’t any privacy.
- I knew it was a great mistake for a man like me to fall in love…
- I hope she’ll be a fool - that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.
- Stocks reached record peaks, and Wall Street boomed a steady golden roar. The parties were bigger, the shows were broader, the buildings were higher, the models were looser, and the ban on alcohol had backfired. Making the liquor cheaper. Wall Street was luring the young and ambitious, and I was one of them.

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is the Hollywood heartthrob we have been waiting for. He’s the kind of man you wish you knew in real life; he’s smart, talented, fun and foine, exciting in all the right ways.
Just look at his résumé. His first big role, as “Cadillac” in Baz Luhrmann’s 2016 musical TV drama “The Get Down,” showed that he had superstar instincts. Cadillac was a disco-dancing gangster, and Abdul-Mateen got to be silly and intimidating in a flashy role that revealed just a sliver of his talent. Then, in rapid succession, he appeared in “Baywatch,” “The Greatest Showman,” “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “Aquaman,” “Black Mirror” and “Us,” offering a broad scope of roles that prove he has the range. During the opening credits of one of his projects, you may not know what to expect — and that’s exactly how he likes it.
“It’s really about being able to have artistic freedom of choice,” Abdul-Mateen said over the phone. “I made it a point to not ever be typecast into a very specific role. That’s what that journey is for me, making sure that I’m not locked into a specific place and can exercise my curiosity. I’m very happy to be able to do that. I kind of like that that’s my calling card right now, too. I want other Black actors and creators to be able to do the same thing.“
