from Maginn, "Shakespeare's Papers", London, 1860:
I consider Romeo designed to represent the character of an unlucky man—a man who, with the best views and fairest intentions, is perpetually so unfortunate as to fail in every aspiration, and, while exerting himself to die utmost in their behalf, to involve all whom he holds dearest in misery and ruin.
Had any other passion or pursuit occupied Romeo, he would have been equally tnlucky as in his love. Ill-fortune has marked him for her own. From beginning to end he intends the best; but his interfering is ever for ihe worst.
Everything glides on in smooth current at Capulet's feast till the appearance of him whose presence is deadly. Romeo himself is a most reluctant visitor. He apprehends that the consequences of the night's revels will be the vile forfeit of a despised life by an untimely death, but submits to his destiny. He foresees that it is no wit to go, but consoles himself with the reflection that he "means well in going to this masque." His intentions, as usual, are good; and, as usual, their consequences are ruinous.
Vainly does Romeo endeavor to pacify the bullying swordsman, Tybalt; vainly does he decline the proffered duel. His good intentions are again doomed to be frustrated There stands by his side as mad-blooded a spirit as Tybalt himself, and Mercutio takes up the abandoned quarrel. The star of the unlucky man is ever in the ascendant.
His ill-omened interference slays his friend. Had he kept quiet the issue might have been different; but the power that had the steerage of his course had destined that the uplifting of his sword was to be the signal of death to his very friend. And when the dying Mercutio says, "Why the devil came you between us? I was hurt under your arm," he can only offer the excuse, which is always true and always unavailing, "I thought all for the best." Well, indeed, may Friar Lawrence address him by the title "thou fearful man!"—as a man whose career through life is calculated to inspire terror.

Not the best "Romeo and Juliet" on screen, but then none of them out there really....
The leads are played by youngsters in hope of sacrificing some poetic ability for authenticity, but it doesn't really work out.
The text is heavily cut and rearranged without much regard to meter or poetic flow.
Best part of the film are the sets, locations, art direction and costumes; with fine photography by the great Robert Krasker....Directed by Renato Castellani (Less)
Stations (Oh, the Humanity) (2008) A chaotic distillation of media from the past century pertaining to themes of war, over-consumption, (More) A chaotic distillation of media from the past century pertaining to themes of war, over-consumption, economic strife and human misery arranged in rapid-fire montages overlapping each other and various forms of signal feedback until they formed new images--often to the point of complete abstraction. The intended effect was to encapsulate the sensory overload experienced whenever one of these events reared it’s ugly head in the form of oversaturated news coverage, thus forcing people to relive the collective sucker punch felt at the time with a dash of Depression-era nostalgia.
