Not watch it?
It's a 1968 Romeo and Juliet movie. I'm willing to bet the number of times anyone has watched this in the past 30 years is very very small.
Then you haven’t been to a lot of high school English classes.
And I’m not sure what your point is even if you are right. “Don’t watch this child pornography” is something I think is worth saying while the child pornography is available to watch.
This isn’t Traci Lords porn, this is a mainstream movie you can buy and even stream. Don’t do those things. If you weren’t anyway, that doesn’t apply to you.
Even ignoring the child porn issue, it's just an OK version of the play, at best. DeCaprio version is really good, even if it's set in modern times.
Nah, obviously this is the best one:
I barely remember it now. Really, I only remember its existence.
The version we were shown had been edited by the local "tech whiz" who handled all of the AV stuff in the district. The video was replaced with a title card that said, "Romeo Romeo wherefore art thou picture?" for that scene.
That's not what wherefore means. 0/10, figuratively unwatchable.
I don't make it a habit to visit high school English classes, no. The one i went to made us watch the DeCaprio movie that had just come out.
