[Note: Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:) Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld. I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it. And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first. This movie was beautiful . It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps." The cinematography was excellent. The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capul...
GEORGEOUS.<3 I love random beauty.:)

DeleteAhhh! Lovely post!! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks, Miss March! It was fun to make :D
DeleteOhhhh, this is indeed very pretty. Love looking at the pics! I particularly like the two women looking at the water.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, DKoren! Yes, isn't that picture lovely? I haven't seen it, though :-P
DeleteI may or may not love these pictures. You guess.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't possibly... ;)
DeleteOH MY GOODNESS OLIVIA YOUR BLOG. Have I just been blind and not seen the latest transformations?? It's beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteAw, this was really relaxing for me. Scrolling through, looking at all the pretty pictures. It was great. :)
Daaawwww, THANKS, GURL. You're too kind :) But no, this is pretty recent, so you haven't missed it for long ;) I may actually change it again, though, because I may want to use this background with a summer look...we'll see.
DeleteAww, yay! I'm so glad :) Heehee, Pinterest has been good to me lately and I wanted an excuse to post some of the stuff.
Those are lovely, my word!
ReplyDeleteAnd, goodness, I love what you've done with your blog! So fancy :D
By the way, I changed my header to your free musicals one. Thanks for sharing that!
DeleteAren't they, though?!
DeleteAww, thanks ever so much!! I'm glad you like it!
Oh my gosh, really?! You're most welcome! That makes me SOOOOO happy; I shall hie myself to your blog posthaste!
*gasps* THE BLUE COLLAGE. IT'S GORGEOUS.
ReplyDeleteWHERE IS IT FROM. I MUST KNOW.
*coughs* I feel like I should recognize some of the pictures, but I don't . . .
Isn't it, though? I'm pretty sure it's from Bright Star, which I haven't seen, but, y'know . . . the collage, though.
DeleteHaha, that's okay -- we've all been there ;)
I love the pictures! They are all so beautiful! They describe and show how beautiful period dramas are. No words are needed, a picture is worth a thousand words.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Yes, aren't they gorgeous? They make me happy :)
DeleteI'm not very up-to-date on my period dramas, but is the second picture Keira Knightley and the third Amy from Little Women? Awwww, Jane is so pretty... :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed! Good catches :) Aww, I know, isn't she?
DeleteOh, speaking of period dramas -- I read your question to Miss March about what constitutes a period drama, and I thought I'd interject my two cents (because duh who doesn't want my two cents :-P), if that's okay ;) I think one of your points was that if period dramas are just categorized as "movies set in a specific time period", then technically every movie is a period drama, right? (Miss March may have replied to this, actually . . . ) And that's true, hehe. But if it helps at all, I think most period dramas are those movies that take place in a time period several years previous to the current one. And they're often based off a book or a historical event/figure.
Anyway. You probably didn't need any of that. Just thought I'd see if it clears up any confusion, haha :D
I can't believe I was right!! :)
DeleteOf course I want your two cents!! :) They definitely seem to all have that in common!! I was mostly complaining about the ambiguous definition the internet supplied, haha!! Oooh! That is a good point. They ARE mostly based off of books or history!! They need to add that to the definition. ;)
OOOOH WOW! Layout en pointe! and these pics are so lovely!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thanks, Evie! I'm glad you liked the old look, even though I changed it :-P And yes, aren't they?!
DeleteOoooh, lovely! And your look is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Rae! I really appreciate it! :D
DeleteThese are all pretty, but I'm afraid #2 just makes me crack up laughing for some reason. xD
