The Final Tale Of Juliet And Her Romeo

"Never was there a tale of more woe/than that of Juliet and her Romeo." -Prince Escalus
I disagree.
There's too much COMEDY. Not enough TRAGEDY. And it was to hard to understand to make it that tragic.
There is a tale of more woe than that of Juliet and her Romeo. And, strangely, this more woeful tale has a HUGE connection to that of Juliet and her Romeo. (I really like that part, I don't know why)

Yes, my friends.

TITANIC.

And the connection: JACK!!! :'(
It's quite simple, really. Jack is played by Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio (7) who also plays Romeo in the 1996 film version of Romeo and Juliet alsongside Claire Danes.

But still, TITANIC is much more depressing than watching some guy kill himself over this one chick and then that one chick killing herself over that guy. Someone is seriously emotionally off-centered.
In TITANIC, you have to watch a jerk (who looks suspiciously like Paris from the 1968 version) try to kill most of the people, plus Jack and later Rose. Although there is some comedy, (I put the diamond in the coat...and I put the coat on her!) I think that being the survivor is far worse than being a victim. To have to go on (Jack! JACK! There's a boat, Jack! or just looking down over the rail -You're a good liar. -Almost as good as you.) is almost inconprehensible. If Juliet had started bawling, screaming, and throwing a fit (enter Elizabeth Turner from the end of Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End after dear William is stabbed) i think Shakespeare could have created an even more emotional, moving scene. Or, if, when Romeo sees Juliet before he leaves for Mauntua, that they look at each other like Rose and Jack looked at each other while he was leaning over the rail of TITANIC and she was safely being lowered in a lifeboat. :'(
Yes, it could be worse.

And my quote for the week:

Gimli: I never thought I'd die fighting side-by-side with an Elf.
Legolas: How about side-by-side with a friend?

  2. Yes, I would, and I will continue to do so. I also thought of two more reasons: 1. Picturing Zac Efron killing himself over a girl isn't too sad, and 2. More people die on the Titanic (and so they lived, happily together for three-hundred years, in the land of Tír na nÓg, of eternal youth and beauty) including more children that are younger, boys that are probably hotter, and girls who are probably a lot more rational. Hey, fun fact! After about two days, Romeo and Juliet get married...It takes about two days for Rose to completely fall for Jack! :P
