Romeo and Juliet: Video Post

This video is from the movie, Slumdog Millionaire. It relates to Romeo and Juliet because the movie is about two lovers, Jamal and Latika, who struggle to find each other again after being seperated several times from their childhood. Jamal, who is from the slums of Mumbai, enters a popular tv show, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, to find his lost love, Latika. In the end, he finds her through the show, and live happily together. I chose this video because I thought the song was very nice, and I loved the movie:]

Romeo and Juliet: Act 2

What I thought was interesting in Act Two was the scene with Romeo and Juliet talking to each other on Juliet's balcony. It seemed a little wierd because they were just talking with each other without even knowing. They soon figured out and started talking to each other about how much they love each other. Soon they start talking about marraige because they love each other so much and can't seem to seperate. Romeo was willing to give up his name and his families name for Juliet. This event would definitely affect their future because they agreed to get married.
I would've acted differently if I were Juliet. I would never agree to marry a person who I have just met a day ago.This event leads me to foreshadow some major thing that will end horribly wrong, like their marraige. I actually have been in a similar situation like this, but I shall not mention it :]

Characters in Romeo and Juliet

In Romeo and Juliet, based on Act One, I can easily tell what type of person the Nurse is. She is a lot like a mother to Juliet than Lady Capulet, because Juliet seems more fond of the Nurse than her own mother. Although the Nurse takes good care of Juliet and even nursed her since she was a baby, she doesn't really act like a nurse should in a high classed family like the Capulets. I expected the Nurse to be a round figured, old aged woman wearing dirty clothes like most caretakers, maids, or servants would look like in the old days. However the Nurse turned out to be quite the opposite. Instead she's very talkative, ignorant and doesn't show that much respect for the people there, like Lady Capulet. I don't think I would particulary want to meet the Nurse, because she just seems so obnoxiously loud.
I don't really know anyone in particular like the Nurse, but I'm sure there are a lot of nurses and caretakers today that are like the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet. They would all be loud and wouldn't really show much respect.
