I've never seen it, but Leo was way hotter as a downy androgyne than now.

i like the idea that there is a difference between people who saw this and knew what florida was, so that it felt like a "modernizing" production, and people who saw this but really had no idea about florida and so the setting was as imaginary as Verona had been to shsksp's contemporaries.

(Luhrmann is gay, right?)― Gravel Puzzleworth
he's not gay; i think his wife is his production designer.― Amateur(ist)
Baz Luhrmann is like all the worst qualities of gay males without any of the redeeming qualities.

i have a softspot for this movie too but it took me a while. was expecting too much when i first saw it, so i was disappointed.
young leo + young claire was great

um, guys, i own that movie. why don't you all come over and we'll watch it and reminisce about high school?
catherine martin (luhrman's wife) is the reason his movies look so good.

more haters need to come out and express their hate for this amazingly hateable movie
it's like the worst music video ever made or something

i hate this.

in theory baz luhrmann's other movies could also be the worst movie ever made
but I am never going to watch them

you are the donk of baz luhrmann

Strictly Ballroom is actually pretty good.
― Alex in SF, Monday, 9 March 2009 22:35 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm quite amazed to hear that Luhrmann is not gay.
He was, one understands, gay before the marriage. And still declines to identify as straight.
― Bernard's Butter (sic), Monday, 9 March 2009 22:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Actually I find this radically defensible.
― Nurse Detrius (Eric H.), Tuesday, 10 March 2009 15:41 (fifteen years ago) link
Which means I am all the worst qualities of gay males without any of the good ones.
Baz is the Tom Robinson of Aussie auteurs

that Baz Luhrmann can get anywhere near The Great Gatsby seems like a terrible thing

all i needed to know about this film was: benny blanco from the bronx =/= tybalt from verona ... and i was not disappointed.
― wad of baloney (Eisbaer), Wednesday, 1 February 2012 01:40 (twelve years ago) link
this movie isn't good but leo and claire are both gorrrrrrrrrrrrrrgeous and do good jobs; every time the movie takes a fucking breath to let them hang out and speak actual full lines it's better than the zeffirelli. pete posthelwaite's good too i seem to remember.
