I'm sorry they randomly break into song.

To start off, looking for a video wasn't extremely difficult, but wasn't all that easy, either. I searched for videos with many different relations to the book and even a few lines, but was not successful. Finally, I went to Youtube and searched for literally: Romeo and Juliet. There were many scenes from the actual movie but I decided to choose this video. I know that they mention Shakespeare and how alike Romeo and Juliet they are and that is not encouraged for this assignment, but I think they are similar for different reasons. First of all, I think that Jimmy and Mary Jane act exactly like them- pretty dumb. They are "bubbling with love" like Romeo and Juliet and act foolishly. Also, because they get married very quickly and it all seems pretty sudden. Finally, these two couples are alike because they are clueless about the ending. These people think they'll turn out really 'swell' but like Romeo and Juliet, they could be destined to stay apart from each other..

I saw this one when I was looking around on You Tube. Did you catch all the R+J lines? A snowy dove, etc.?
