People say this is a bad movie that isn’t about anything and I disagree. It’s about big black boots, sick fucking sunglasses, the year 2001 (not when it’s set) (when is it set?), two actors doing each others accents badly at each other, Angelina Jolie being backlit, Angelina Jolie leather daddy, Angelina Jolie raised eyebrow, and inspiring people (me) to work out.
Absolutely incredible. Frenetic and insane and ridiculously funny with an aching, beating heart underneath every minute. The editing and Voyeurism score are everything!!

This movie raised me, and it never loses its magic. I think people don’t like Baz because he’s a heavy handed director but all of his over the top choices are executed perfectly here. He and Julie Taymor are the only two directors who understand how to adapt Shakespeare for the movies: give us imagery, keep it moving, and heighten everything. Adapt the feeling. All of the visual elements in this are thrilling…
