Remember that time they adapted Romeo and Juliet in present day, but it kept the original Old English Shakspearian script/dialogue?

I genuinely think it was a unique/interesting idea, and am glad it exists. Kinda wish we had seen other movies like it for Macbeth, Hamlet, etc.
Sorry, but I fucking hate Baz Lurhman as a director. Everything is so obnoxious and trying hard to sell itself as profound, in a way that comes off as very cynical way. His Great Gatsby adaptation feels like a technicolor vomit pastiche of the actual story. He retells literary works like a 8th grader trying to sound cool
"and then Gatsby and drives his cool car real fast through the city while a Kanye track plays. It'd be so awesome, dude"
