O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? (13 Jan 2006)

O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?

I watched Romeo & Juliet with my coursemates & lecturers today.
O, what should I say?
At first, I thought I should't stay.
But, thank God I did not runaway,
As I saw a pleasant story thou cannot pay.

At the beginning of the movie, I did not realize anything till the scene where Romeo 1st met Juliet. I suddenly recalled my old rusty memory from my very, very, very young childhood. I watched this movie before. This version, vf my mother, my parents. If not mistaken, my brother was born. I can't rmbr whether mum knew d show wld b on TV, or we just happened 2 b so lucky 2 watch from d beginning of the play. I think it is on RTM2. I was 2 young 2 know Romeo & Juliet. I was fidgeting from quietly 2 noisily in my cushion. Mum told me it was a story she loves a lot, & watched since her childhood, mentioned that it was a famous story from Shakespeares, confirmed it vf dad, & asked me 2 watch. I listened then, & stopped fidgeting when Romeo met Juliet. I rmbr how stunned I was 2 c how pretty Juliet is. Romeo took off his mask, & I was beginning 2 felt he is cute 2! I rmbr Juliet's red cloak when I saw d same 1 I was watching in class. That is when I get interested in watching again, as I was not so in class in d beginning. (Seems tht I hadn't changed all these years! lol~)
Suddenly, the music I knew very well came out. I knew it would as years ago, when it did, I rmbr mum was so happy 2 hear the song again. Just like me; searching a tune from a blurred childhood. She told me that that is the theme and music specially 4 Romeo & Juliet's story. I was stoned 2 hear it at that time. As my heart was touched 4 d 1st time in my life by a piece of music when I was a kid!!! Plus, mum loved it so much, & I love my mum. I admire the tune and the song sang by 1 of d actor. I tried my best 2 rmbr it during advertisements, after the movie, & tht was d 1st thing I did whn I get out of bed, but I s'times 4get it & bcame a very, very frusturated child without reason! & then my mum will scold me while I nvr tell her y. Haha! 1 day, a very good old friend of mine, whom we really met by fate on net, sent me this song. I was very, very, very, X1000++ happy & know not what 2 say as I listen it again after so many years of it's lost. I began 2 send d song 2 ppl I knw, hoping tht they'll like it as much as I do.
During the movie in class, I rmbr some scenes clearly, but some I don't. Did I cry when watching this movie? U say it. Well, I did. Surprisingly, not when they died, but when Romeo leaves. In
Act 3. Scene 5. Y? Erm, I can "tell" U Y, but no one will understand.....

My bold words r 4 us,
My underline words made me cry,
If thee understand not the fuss,
Then I beg thee ask me why.

Act 3. Scene V

JULIET
Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day:
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear;
Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate-tree:
Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.

ROMEO
It was the lark, the herald of the morn,
No nightingale: look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east:
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops.
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.

JULIET
Yon light is not day-light, I know it, I:
It is some meteor that the sun exhales,
To be to thee this night a torch-bearer,
And light thee on thy way to Mantua:
Therefore stay yet; thou need'st not to be gone.

ROMEO
Let me be ta'en, let me be put to death;
I am content, so thou wilt have it so.
I'll say yon grey is not the morning's eye,
'Tis but the pale reflex of Cynthia's brow;
Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat
The vaulty heaven so high above our heads:
I have more care to stay than will to go:
Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so.
How is't, my soul? let's talk; it is not day.

JULIET
It is, it is: hie hence, be gone, away!
It is the lark that sings so out of tune,
Straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps.
Some say the lark makes sweet division;
This doth not so, for she divideth us:
Some say the lark and loathed toad change eyes,
O, now I would they had changed voices too!
Since arm from arm that voice doth us affray,
Hunting thee hence with hunt's-up to the day,
O, now be gone; more light and light it grows.

ROMEO
More light and light; more dark and dark our woes!

Enter Nurse, to the chamber

Nurse
Madam!

JULIET
Nurse?

Nurse
Your lady mother is coming to your chamber:
The day is broke; be wary, look about.
Exit

JULIET
Then, window, let day in, and let life out.

ROMEO
Farewell, farewell! one kiss, and I'll descend.
He goeth down

JULIET
Art thou gone so? love, lord, ay, husband, friend!
I must hear from thee every day in the hour,
For in a minute there are many days:
O, by this count I shall be much in years
Ere I again behold my Romeo!

ROMEO
Farewell!
I will omit no opportunity
That may convey my greetings, love, to thee.

JULIET
O think'st thou we shall ever meet again?

ROMEO
I doubt it not; and all these woes shall serve
For sweet discourses in our time to come.

JULIET
O God, I have an ill-divining soul!
Methinks I see thee, now thou art below,
As one dead in the bottom of a tomb:
Either my eyesight fails, or thou look'st pale.

ROMEO
And trust me, love, in my eye so do you:
Dry sorrow drinks our blood. Adieu, adieu!

My Fav Speech frm R&J!

JULIET
Romeo!

ROMEO
My dear?

JULIET
At what o'clock to-morrow
Shall I send to thee?

ROMEO
At the hour of nine.

JULIET
I will not fail: 'tis twenty years till then.
I have forgot why I did call thee back.

ROMEO
Let me stand here till thou remember it.

JULIET
I shall forget, to have thee still stand there,
Remembering how I love thy company.

ROMEO
And I'll still stay, to have thee still forget,
Forgetting any other home but this.

JULIET
...Good night, good night!
parting is suchsweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.

-O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?-
