Netflix announced ONE big movie for every month of 2021. In January we had The Sit, an informational, beautiful and peaceful movie, but in February the big movie is Malcom & Marie, which felt actually pretty big. Even the title itself reminds us of the tragical classic couples like Romeo & Juliet, Tristan & Isolde, anticipating a powerful conflict. It felt nice to see Zendaya actually playing a role which matches her acting standard, and I believed her, she truly deserves more serious role from now on. John David Washington's performance is a delight to watch and his strangely chaotic stile of acting really catches you. The fact that is filmed black-white amplifies the conflict and keep it there. I couldn't get enough of the protagonists' sharp lines and the knife scene is G O L D, not going to say more. I absolutely adored the outstanding Malcom & Marie and I feel the obligation to recommend it even if to some people may seem either boring, too noisy and exhausting.

Romeo and Juliet
(1968)
A Masterpiece!
23 February 2018
The famous director Franco Zeffirelli,two Oscars and one Golden Globe nominated ,Emmy and BAFTA winner,gave life to the William Shakespeare's tragedy,published in 1597.
Considered by many critics The best screening of the classic love story between Romeo and Juliet ,the Zeffirelli's movie won two Oscars for Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design and three Golden Globe for Best English-Language Foreign Film, Most Promising Newcomer - Female(Olivia Hussey) and Most Promising Newcomer - Male(Leonard Whiting).
The Zeffirelli's masterpiece transpose the tragedy of Shakespeare on the big screens,in an amazing way,just like the original story.Look what Florin Potra (Romanian) says: Choosing Romeo and Juliet at the age which we find in the book[..].
At the end of the movie,we know that we saw a good one,that transpose amazing the thrilling love story,contoured by love and hate.
