    I requested time off work so that I can kill-it on Booktubeathon. I'm so ready!!

    @SarahsNightstand 8 лет назад +6

    The Romeo & Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes is my favorite movie of all time! Highly recommend that one. Can't wait to participate in BookTubeathon!

  • @LucindaGarza
    @LucindaGarza 8 лет назад +5

    Baz Luhrmann's version of Romeo and Juliet is amazing, it is done in such a beautiful way, has a great soundtrack and is definitely one of my favorites, so you should totally watch that one (and young Leo DiCaprio playing Romeo is a plus💕).

    • @gracerracer3405
      @gracerracer3405 8 лет назад +1

      If you haven't seen this version yet, it is a must! I second about the soundtrack. Great movie.

    • @loganelizabeth4965
      @loganelizabeth4965 8 лет назад

      Definitely agree, that's my favorite version by far!

  • @itsabooksworld
    @itsabooksworld 8 лет назад +4

    On sparknotes you have the modern version next to the old English so it's easier to read (you can buy those in paperback too) so if it's too difficult you can also read that version :)

  • @rajis6941
    @rajis6941 8 лет назад +3

    Romeo + Juliet the Leonardo Dicaprio one. We watched in school while we read it . They speak in the same kind of English in which the books are written in 😁

  • @chapterselectbooks
    @chapterselectbooks 8 лет назад +3

    !968 version is great, but the most interesting is Romeo + Juliet (which is weird but I like a lot). You can also always stretch the rules and watch West Side Story.

  • @kristenbooks
    @kristenbooks 8 лет назад +3

    If you want an accurate/period Romeo & Juliet, there was an adaptation made in like 1968 that's true to the story. Or, of course, if you want a really fun, light-hearted adaptation, you could go for the modernized Romeo+Juliet from 1996, including a great scene where one of the characters is in drag.
    So excited for BTAT 2016. Trying to maneuver my TBR so that it fulfills all the challenges is always super fun for me, and I always love putting together my TBR video as well. I filmed yesterday, and will probably upload tomorrow!

  • @JamesLawner
    @JamesLawner 8 лет назад +4

    Watch the 1996 Romeo+Juliet movie, it has the same original dialogue as the play and its got a cool aesthetic and a modern twist.

  • @sydbap21
    @sydbap21 8 лет назад +6

    I'm very partial to the Baz Luhrmann's 1996 Romeo + Juliet myself, but mostly for shallow reasons such as Leo DiCaprio and Paul Rudd.

  • @JackieBorelli
    @JackieBorelli 8 лет назад +2

    I personally love the Baz Luhrmann "Romeo + Juliet", I love all his films. also, if you wanted to check out a shorter adaptation, "The Fosters" had an episode featuring a "Romeo + Juliet" rock musical, and it was pretty great, I really liked it. the music was stuck in my head the rest of the day.

    I love The-Booktube-a-Thon! It's such a great event to look forward to every summer for both booktubers and booktube viewers. Thanks so much for all the hard work and effort you put into it. I know it's probably a lot and a bit stressful but it really has a huge impact on this community and there are so many people out here that love and appreciate it! Good luck on your reading and organizing! Thanks again Ariel!

  • @florianegabriel69
    @florianegabriel69 8 лет назад

    I loved the Baz Luhrman's Romeo+Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio because it has such an original and modern way to look at the story. And also the 2013 movie is beautiful in a far more traditional way. They are both amazing ! I am so excited to join the Booktube-a-thon for the very first time !!

  • @saralynnlaponzina6409
    @saralynnlaponzina6409 8 лет назад

    The Romeo and Juliet adaptation movie with Douglass booth is so good. It's almost word for word from the play and I highly recommend

    @EmilyHornburg 8 лет назад +1

    I'm so excited for the BookTube-A-Thon! I keep on looking at my TBR pile and itching to start it. I love that you're reading Romeo and Juliet! I personally love the 1990s move adaptation with Claire Dane and Leonoardo DiCaprio. It's super weird and ridiculous, but it's awesome and still a great adaptation.

  • @christy-anne-jones
    @christy-anne-jones 8 лет назад

    Once you get into the swing of Shakespeare, you can read it quite quickly. I studied an whole subject on it at university and, by the fourth Shakespearean play, it was super easy to breeze through it :) Good luck with the BookTubeAThon!

  • @WheresRowanGoing
    @WheresRowanGoing 8 лет назад

    I love Shakespeare and Romeo & Juliet is my absolute favorite. One thing that helps when reading is to read it out loud or at least mouth the words as you read. It helps you get the rhythm of the lines down and for me that helps to understand it a lot better.
    Also the best adaption of it is the Leo one hands down. I had the movie memorized before I read the book.

    these past two weeks have been so draining and horrible, and your positivity and excitement is just wonderful to see, ariel.
    thanks for these videos and i hope your booktube-a-thon goes awesome.
    as for a romeo and juliet adaptation, i would recommend "private romeo". it's a gay romance. it's a weird, quirky film. i saw it a long time back so i don't remember how good it was. but definitely unique and a great acting aswell.

  • @TheIrisMessenger
    @TheIrisMessenger 8 лет назад +1

    Romeo +Juliet I definitely the best adaptation that I've seen! It is super weird but also super good! (Or if you want something entirely less serious you could watch Gnomeo and Juliet!)

  • @thereasontoremember
    @thereasontoremember 8 лет назад

    I'm one of those nerds who loves EVERY adaptation of Romeo & Juliet, but just because no one else has mentioned it I'm going to suggest the 2013 version with Douglas Booth and Hailee Steinfeld. The language has been adapted toward modern English ever so slightly, but the costumes are gorgeous, the acting is wonderful, and I just really appreciate the casting and how stunning the film is visually.

  • @zoeatrics
    @zoeatrics 8 лет назад +1

    For Romeo and Juliet adaptations, Romeo + Juliet is a fab modern-ish adaptation using the old language (Leo DiCaprio! Claire Danes! Neon Jesus!) and Warm Bodies is a looser adaptation where Romeo IS A ZOMBIE, so I would recommend both for your movie adaptation!

  • @AbbyReads
    @AbbyReads 8 лет назад

    YES BOOKTUBE-A-THON! I am sooooo freaking excited, wahooooo! I absolutely adore the 1996 movie adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. Excited to hear your thoughts and which movie you chose!

  • @beatrice1775
    @beatrice1775 8 лет назад

    For Romeo and Juliet the 1960s film by Franco Zeffirelli is my favourite. It's such a classic movie, not as well known as the 1990s modern adaptation but just gorgeous to watch :)

  • @naomicah5651

    Looking forward to the next videos! I challenged myself to read more in order to complete the Goodreads challenge. I looked for shorter books, so after I finished a 700 page book, I naturally bought a 1000 pages book (that did not go well). I feel you with Shakespeare, my native language is not English. In addition, I get distracted by all the endnotes as well! Happy reading!

    @ChristyLou 8 лет назад +1

    Watch the Leonardo DiCaprio version of Romeo and Juliet! Apparently, while the setting is different, it's one of the more "accurate" depictions of the play (Plus, it's really beautiful)

  • @Leahluvsmusic10
    @Leahluvsmusic10 8 лет назад

    Romeo and Juliet is also an opera! I've seen the French one by composer Gounod, but there's another one I think by an English or maybe Italian composer (I can't remember). But if you want to try something different, watch that! There are plenty of videos on RUclips and you could find one with English subtitles. It's very emotional and I enjoyed it more than the book and any movie version of Romeo and Juliet that I've seen.

  • @NaomiTheBookLover
    @NaomiTheBookLover 8 лет назад

    Ooooh the R&J 1968 version is SO GOOD. Also- there's a newer one that came out with Hailee Steinfeld that I loved!!!

  • @balderdashdarling

    This looks like a fun TBR! I hope you complete it I personally enjoyed the Leonardo Dicaprio Romeo and Juliet film. It's a cool adaptation and twist, but I know some people hated it so just go into it being ready for something different.
    My TBR includes:
    Out of Easy (book with yellow on cover and by fav author)
    Friends with Boys (book after sunset.) (it's a graphic novel so should be easy to finish)
    Mrs. Peregrines (Book found through Booktube - Jesse)
    Pride and Prejudice (book that's older than you and book to movie adaptation)
    Those are my main goals. If I finish those, I'll just pick up whatever I feel like.

    depending on how true to the play you want to get the 1968 Romeo and Juliet is fantastic and is even done in the original language, other wise leo and clairs 1996 version is a great one as well.

    For me, the best adaptation of Romeo and Juliet is the one from 1968, but the newest one is good too, this one with Hailee Steinfeld, Ed Westwick and Douglas Booth.
    I hope you like them.
    :D
