I have somewhat of a love/hate relationship with Truby’s 22 Steps. At a glance, they might seem oversimplified. However, I’ve found that if I’m stuck in the developmental stages of a story, I can go back, work through each of the steps, and unknot my story’s mess.
- Self-revelation, need, and desire
Self-revelation: The character’s realization of what they need to change/accomplish.
Need: Both a psychological and a moral need.
Desire: The character’s main goal.
These three are elemental when discovering where you’ll character will end up.
- Ghost and story world
Ghost: The history of the character. That which still haunts the character and may cause struggle. Basically, the character’s ‘backstory.’
Story World: Simply, the world surrounding the character and their daily life.
- Weakness and need
Weakness: The flaws in the character. Can be moral and/or psychological. Usually, characters have both. In other words, the internal damage of the character that impedes them from becoming their best self.
Need: The change the character must go through in order to become their best self.
- Inciting event
The ‘spark’ moment that brings the character’s situation from bad to worse. This event also challenges the character into action.
The goal that drives the character and the story. Usually, the desire grows/intensifies as the story progresses, raising the stakes for the character.
- Ally or allies
The best buds. Those characters that give aid/advice to the main character. The allies can also have a goal. Sometimes, the ally’s and main character’s goals are the same, promoting collaboration.
- Opponent and/or mystery
Opponent: This ‘bad guy’ doesn’t want the main character to achieve their goal. This relationship is usually the most important one in the story as it provides conflict to the story.
Mystery: The opponent can be a mystery at its roots, therefore giving the protagonist the task of discovering their antagonist, and defeating them.
- Fake-ally opponent
A ‘sneaky’ character whom the protagonist initially believes is their ally. There is usually heartbreak and deception for the protagonist when the truth is discovered.
- First revelation and decision: Changed desire and motive
A threshold in the story that becomes a point of no return for the protagonist. Usually prompted by new information. The revelation can change the protagonist’s desire. Each revelation adds levels of complexity to the plot.
The protagonist’s blueprint to achieve their desired goal. If you want a good story, the protagonist shouldn’t succeed on their first try to execute the plan.
- Opponent’s plan and main counterattack
Whether because they are trying to achieve their own goal, or actively keeping the protagonist from achieving theirs, the opponent attacks the protagonist’s plan. These attacks can and should come at different points in the story and can be both overt or covert in nature.
The way that I think about this is a football drive. Which are the plays that the protagonist is going to ‘call’ in order to achieve their goal?
- Attack by ally
The hero of our story is never perfect, otherwise, what would be the point of the story?
The attack by an ally is the moment when the protagonist begins to diverge from their moral compass and gets called out by a true ally. This can result in a schism between the protagonist and the ally (because no one likes a goody-two-shoes). This attack also gives the story a deeper conflict, where the protagonist must decide whether or not follow a moral path.
- Apparent defeat
All hope is lost and the protagonist is about to give up in the pursuit of their desire. This is the lowest point in the story and the reader might be uncertain if the protagonist will succumb to the opponent, or rally and succeed.
- Second revelation and decision: Obsessive drive, changed desire and motive
Yay, the protagonist rallied! Perhaps with a changed perspective on their desire or a different goal, the protagonist continues in their pursuit.
There can also be an ‘apparent victory’ for the protagonist at this point. However, the stakes will be raised even higher when the ‘apparent victory’ dissipates.
- Audience revelation
At this moment, the audience is privy to crucial information before the protagonist.
This is when the audience sees something that the hero doesn’t and learns a vital piece of information. This gives the audience a clearer picture of the stakes and the power of the opponent. In addition, it also heightens the tension of the story.
- Third revelation and decision
The protagonist is given all the facts that are crucial to the story (like the true identity of the opposition or whatever the audience learned before the protagonist), and the actions they’ll have to perform in order to achieve their desire. This information usually emboldens the protagonist and gives them an extra motivation to reach their goal.
- Gate, gauntlet, visit to death
The highest moment of tension before the final showdown between the hero and the opponent.
Visit to Death: Can be psychological, and might appear at an earlier moment in the story (perhaps in the apparent defeat).
During the battle, the goals of the protagonist and the opponent should be crystal clear. There should be no confusion about what each side is fighting for. The story’s plot and subplots usually converge of this point. The winner of the battle achieves their goal.
The moment after the battle where the protagonist comes to a deeper understanding of their self and what they fought for and perhaps won. The revelation should be meaningful and life-altering. Show, don’t tell, what the protagonist learned/understood. The revelation can be moral and/or psychological.
At the same time, and usually surprising the audience, the opponent can have a change of heart through the protagonist’s revelation.
- Moral decision
The moral decision is the course of action that the protagonist will take once the self-revelation happens. The protagonist, if that’s the route they’re going for, can even choose to dismiss the moral and/or psychological revelations. It is through the moral decision that the audience learns what the protagonist is truly ‘made of.’
- New equilibrium
The new stasis in the story world. The ‘new normal’ the protagonist lives in once the goal has been achieved or lost.

Romeo and Juliet
William shakespeare, everything you need for every book you read..
In Renaissance-era Verona, Italy, two noble families, the Montagues and Capulets, are locked in a bitter and ancient feud whose origin no one alive can recall. After a series of public brawls between both the nobles and the servants of the two families, which shed blood and disturb the peace in Verona’s city streets, Prince Escalus , the ruler of Verona, declares that anyone in either family involved in any future fighting will be put to death.
Every year, the Capulets throw a masquerade ball. The Montagues are, of course, not invited. As Capulet and Lady Capulet fuss over the arrangements for the party, ensuring that everything is perfect for their friends and guests, they hope that their daughter Juliet will fall in love with the handsome count Paris at the ball. At 13, Juliet is nearly of marriageable age, and the Capulets believe that marrying Paris would allow their daughter to ascend the social ladder in Verona. During the party, two Montagues, 16-year-old Romeo and his cousin Benvolio , along with their bawdy, quick-tongued friend Mercutio , a kinsmen of Prince Escalus, crash the affair. Romeo attends the party reluctantly, and only because he is hoping to see Rosaline , a young woman he has been hopelessly in love with—and unsuccessfully pursuing—for quite some time. His lack of romantic success has made him noticeably forlorn as of late, much to the chagrin of his friends, who nonetheless poke fun at their lovesick friend’s melodramatic state. Tybalt , a hot-blooded member of House Capulet, notices the intrusion of the Montagues and recognizes them in spite of their masks—but when he draws his rapier and begins approaching them to provoke a fight, Capulet urges Tybalt not to embarrass their family.
When the masked Romeo spots Juliet from across the room, he instantly falls in love with her. Juliet is equally smitten. The two of them speak, exchanging suggestive jokes, and then kiss. As the party ends, Romeo and Juliet, pulled away from one another to attend to their friends and family, separately discover who the other truly is. Both are distraught—Juliet laments that her “only love [has] sprung from [her] only hate.” As the party winds down and Romeo’s friends prepare to leave, Romeo breaks off from them, jumps an orchard wall, and hides in the dark beneath Juliet’s bedroom window. She emerges onto her balcony and bemoans her forbidden love for Romeo, wishing aloud that he could “be some other name.” Romeo jumps out from his hiding place and tells Juliet that he’d do anything for her—he is determined to be with her in spite of the obstacles they face. Romeo and Juliet exchange vows of love, and Romeo promises to call upon Juliet tomorrow so they can hastily be married.
The next day, Romeo visits a kindly but philosophical friar, Friar Laurence , in his chambers. He begs Friar Laurence to marry him to his new love, Juliet. Friar Laurence urges Romeo to slow down and take his time when it comes to love: “these violent delights,” he predicts, “have violent ends.” But Romeo insists he and Juliet know what they’re doing. Friar Laurence comes around, realizing that a marriage between Romeo and Juliet could end their parents’ age-old feud. Later that day, Benvolio and Mercutio encounter Tybalt, who is furious that the Montagues crashed the Capulet party. Tybalt has, in a letter, challenged Romeo to a duel, and Mercutio and Benvolio are worried about the impulsive Romeo rising to the skilled Tybalt’s challenge. When Romeo shows up to find Tybalt, Benvolio, and Mercutio exchanging verbal barbs and teetering on the edge of a fight, Romeo does all he can to resist dueling with Tybalt. He and Juliet have just hastily visited Friar Laurence’s chambers together and are now married. Romeo doesn’t want to fight Tybalt, who is now technically his kinsman—but he knows he can’t reveal the truth to Tybalt, either. Before Romeo can explain his reasons for hesitating, Mercutio disgustedly steps in and challenges Tybalt to a duel himself. Romeo tries to separate them, but Tybalt stabs and kills Mercutio under Romeo's arm. Mercutio dies from his wounds, cursing both the Montagues and the Capulets and invoking “a plague [on] both houses.” In a miserable, mournful rage, Romeo kills Tybalt, then declares himself “fortune’s fool.” Benvolio urges him to hurry from the square. The prince and the citizens’ watch arrive, along with the elders of House Capulet and House Montague. Benvolio tells Prince Escalus what has unfolded, and the prince decides to banish Romeo to Mantua rather than sentence him to death.
Back at the Capulet manse, Juliet dreamily awaits the arrival of Romeo, whom she believes is hurrying from church so that they can spend their wedding night together. Juliet’s reveries are shattered with her nurse enters and informs her that Romeo has slain Tybalt and been banished from Verona. Juliet is furious with Romeo for killing Tybalt, but at the same time, her love for him is so profound that she admits she’d rather he lived than Tybalt. Juliet bids her nurse to go find Romeo and bring him to her, letting him know that she still wants to see him in spite of his actions. The nurse heads to Friar Laurence’s chambers, where the miserable, embarrassed, and angry Romeo is hiding. Though Romeo laments his fate to Friar Laurence, the friar urges Romeo to see that he is lucky to be alive, and promises to find a way to bring him back to Verona from exile in Mantua soon enough. The nurse arrives and summons Romeo to Juliet’s chambers—he happily follows her, and Friar Laurence urges Romeo to head straight to Mantua in the morning and await word from a messenger.
The death of Tybalt affects Capulet deeply. He decides to marry Juliet to Paris immediately, to cheer both Juliet and himself up. Juliet and Romeo bid each another farewell as the dawn breaks the next morning, and though Juliet says she has a terrible feeling she’ll never see Romeo again, she urges him to hurry on to Mantua. Lady Capulet enters Juliet’s chambers just after Romeo leaves to find her daughter weeping. Believing Juliet is still sad over Tybalt’s death, Lady Capulet delivers the news that Juliet will soon be married to Paris. Juliet refuses, and Lady Capulet urges Juliet to tell her father of her decision. Capulet enters, and, when Juliet stubbornly and angrily refutes the arrangement he’s made for her, Capulet threatens to disown her. Lady Capulet sides with her husband, and even the nurse advises Juliet to marry Paris and forget Romeo.
Juliet rushes to Friar Laurence in a rage, threatening to kill herself if he cannot devise a plan to get her out of the marriage to Paris. Friar Laurence, sensing Juliet’s deep pain, quickly comes up with a scheme: he gives her a vial of potion that, once drunk, will make it seem like she's dead—but will really only put her to sleep for about 40 hours. Juliet will be laid to rest in the Capulet tomb, and once she wakes up there, Friar Laurence will collect her and hide her until Romeo returns from Mantua. The friar promises to get news of the plan to Romeo so that he can hurry back home. Juliet takes the vial and returns home with it. Though she is afraid the potion might either kill her or not work at all, Juliet drinks it and immediately falls unconscious. The next morning the Capulet household wakes to discover that Juliet has seemingly died. As Capulet and Lady Capulet dramatically mourn their daughter’s loss, Friar Laurence chides them for their tears—in life, he says, they sought Juliet’s social “promotion.” Now that she is in heaven, she has received the highest promotion of all.
In Mantua, Romeo’s servant Balthasar approaches and tells him that Juliet has died. Romeo is devastated—he plans to “deny [the] stars” and return to Verona. Before leaving Mantua, however, he visits the shop of a local apothecary who sells forbidden poisons . If Juliet really is dead, Romeo plans to drink the vial of poison and kill himself inside her tomb. Back in Verona, Friar Laurence learns that his brother in the cloth, Friar John , has failed to deliver the letter about Juliet’s feigned “death” to Romeo—Romeo has no idea that Juliet is really alive. Friar Laurence hurries to the Capulet crypt to try to head off any calamity. At the gravesite, however, trouble is brewing: Paris has arrived with his page, intending to scatter flowers around Juliet’s tomb. Romeo and Balthasar approach, and Paris hides to see who has come to the crypt. Romeo takes up some tools and begins to break open the Capulet tomb. The astonished, offended Paris steps forward to stop him. The two duel, and Romeo kills Paris. Romeo succeeds in opening Juliet’s tomb, and brings Paris’s corpse down into it with him.
As Romeo looks upon Juliet, he notes that her cheeks and lips still seem flushed with blood—but, believing she is dead, resolves to drink the poison after a final kiss. Romeo drinks the vial and dies. Friar Laurence arrives to find a terrible scene before him. Juliet wakes, and Friar Laurence urges her to follow him without looking at the bodies. As sounds of the citizens’ watch approach, however, Friar Laurence flees, begging Juliet to follow him so he can install her in a nunnery. Instead, Juliet stays behind with Romeo’s corpse. Seeing the poison in his hand, she tries to drink a drop from his lips, but Romeo has left none for her. Instead, she pulls Romeo’s dagger from his hip and uses it to kill herself. Several watchmen arrive and bring Friar Laurence, Balthasar, Prince Escalus, and Paris’s page to the crypt to investigate what has happened. As the truth unravels, the elders of House Montague and Capulet arrive. Prince Escalus tells them that their hatred has killed their children. “All,” the prince says, “are punished.” The Capulets and Montagues agree to end their feud and erect statues of each other’s children in the town square.

Here is a more detailed look at what happens in each scene of Romeo and Juliet, to help you look at the structure of the play and interrogate it.
As you look at each act we’ve included some things to notice. These are important character developments, or key questions that an acting company might ask when they first go through the play together at the start of rehearsal. If you work through these as you go, they will help you to make sense of the play as well as starting to look at the text itself. It’s a good idea to have a copy of the play nearby!
Act 1 Scene 1
What do we learn.
- The Montagues and Capulets are rival families who regularly fight each other.
- The Prince warns Lord Capulet and Lord Montague that if there is another fight they shall pay for it with their lives.
- Romeo is in love with Rosaline.
Act 1 Scene 2
- Paris wants to marry Juliet but Lord Capulet wants to wait two years.
- There is going to be a huge ball at the Capulets' house.
- Romeo and Benvolio plan to go to the ball even though they are not invited.
Act 1 Scene 3
- Juliet is only thirteen years old.
- The Nurse has cared for Juliet since she was a baby and is very affectionate towards her.
- Lady Capulet and the Nurse both think Paris is a good match for Juliet.
Act 1 Scene 4
- Romeo might have had a premonition and doesn’t want to go to the ball.
- Mercutio thinks Romeo’s dreams are meaningless.
Act 1 Scene 5
- Lord Capulet allows Romeo to stay at his ball, showing a much more relaxed attitude to the 'grudge' than his nephew Tybalt, who vows revenge on Romeo.
- Romeo and Juliet meet and share an instant connection. Their lines together in this scene form a sonnet.
- Romeo and Juliet both learn who the other one is.
Things to notice in Act 1
Notice the set up of the opening scene and the conflict between the two households mentioned in the prologue. What could have been the cause of their ‘ancient grudge’? Why do you think Shakespeare includes the prologue? Which characters feel most strongly about the ‘feud’?
Look out for the references to fate and premonitions in the opening scenes. In scene four, Romeo says ‘for my mind misgives some consequence yet hanging in the stars… of untimely death’. What has Romeo dreamt about and why do you think Shakespeare has given Romeo these lines?
Take note of Tybalt’s reaction to seeing Romeo at the ball. He seems more offended by Romeo being there than Lord Capulet. Why might this be? What does this tell us about Tybalt’s character? What does it tell us about the younger generation in the play?
Act 1 is important because it sets up the characters – revealing their allegiances. Romeo and Juliet also have a very private first meeting, in a public space. What kind of language do Romeo and Juliet use when they meet? What are your impressions of Romeo and his attitude towards love? What do we discover about who is on which side in 'feud'?
Act 2 Scene 1
- Mercutio wants Romeo to leave.
- Romeo is taking a big risk going into the Capulet orchard and climbing their walls. He could be killed for being there.
- Romeo still wants to see Juliet, even though he now knows she is a Capulet.
Act 2 Scene 2
Play Act 2 Scene 2
- Juliet and Romeo are in love and are willing to set aside family loyalty to be together.
- Juliet pushes Romeo to make vows and promise to her that she can trust him.
- They want to see each other again and to get married.
Act 2 Scene 3
- Friar Laurence has an understanding of plants and herbs.
- Friar Laurence has counselled Romeo against his infatuation of Rosaline and thinks his love for Juliet is the same.
- Friar Laurence believes the marriage of Romeo and Juliet could end the family feud.
Act 2 Scene 4
- Tybalt is a threat to Romeo. He is called a 'captain of compliments', referring to his studied ability with a sword. Other characters also call him the 'Prince of Cats' in the play. This is a reference to another fictional character, with a similar name, who was a quick tempered fighter.
- Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio are very good friends who know each other very well.
- The Nurse does not want Juliet to be hurt by Romeo but is willing to help them.
Act 2 Scene 5
- Juliet is very impatient while she waits for the Nurse’s news.
- The Nurse teases Juliet and deliberately holds back the news Juliet wants most.
- The Nurse and Juliet have a strong and warm relationship.
Act 2 Scene 6
- Romeo and Juliet are now married.
- Friar Laurence is their ally and the only person, apart from the Nurse, who knows they are married.
Things to notice in Act 2
Look at the way Act 2 opens, carrying on from Act 1 as Romeo replies to Benvolio. Why do you think this has been split? What does this do dramatically?
Notice the way in which Romeo chases after Juliet in Scene 1, climbing the orchard wall. Why do you think he does this instead of waiting to meet her at another time? The impatience of the younger characters throughout Act 2 is a key factor in things going wrong. Romeo is impatient with the Friar, Juliet with the Nurse, and Mercutio with Romeo. What does this tell us about the characters’ decision making? How does this affect the plot?
Act 2 is important because it is where Romeo and Juliet fall in love and are married – helped by the Friar and the Nurse. How willing are the Friar and the Nurse to help the young couple? How do you think they feel about the match and why do they help?
Act 3 Scene 1
- Mercutio suggests that Benvolio is as quick to fight as Tybalt is.
- Romeo gets in the way of Mercutio and Tybalt which allows Tybalt to kill Mercutio and makes Romeo partly responsible.
- When he takes revenge for Mercutio's murder by killing Tybalt, Romeo puts his friendship before his marriage to Juliet.
- Romeo is banished from Verona’s walls rather than being killed for what he has done, as the Prince proclaimed would happen.
Act 3 Scene 2
- Juliet is very impatient to be with Romeo.
- Juliet is angry at Romeo for killing Tybalt, but then feels sorry for hating him.
- Juliet refuses to see her parents who she knows are mourning Tybalt.
Act 3 Scene 3
- Romeo thinks death would be better than being banished.
- Romeo cries and weeps and doesn't want to live without Juliet.
Act 3 Scene 4
- Paris once again tries to get Lord Capulet to agree to the wedding even though Tybalt has just died.
- Lord Capulet suggests he knows his daughter’s mind and that she will agree to marry Paris.
- Lady Capulet is left to deliver the news of the proposed marriage.
Act 3 Scene 5
- In Juliet and Romeo's last moments together there are several references to death and Juliet foreshadows Romeo's death by saying he looks as though he is in a tomb.
- Lord Capulet used to believe Juliet’s opinion was important in deciding who she should marry but he now says he will disown her if she refuses to marry Paris.
- Lady Capulet tries to calm her husband down but ends the scene telling Juliet she is also 'done with thee'.
Things to notice in Act 3
Notice Romeo’s punishment for killing Tybalt. The Prince claimed in Act 1 Scene 1 that anyone who disturbed the peace would pay with their life so why do you think he banishes Romeo instead of having him killed? What effect does this have on the play?
Take a look at Juliet’s reactions and behaviour in Act 3, Scene 2. What different emotions does she experience in this one scene? Can you find any directions in her lines that might help an actor playing the role, or show them how to respond?
Take note of Lord Capulet’s plan to marry Juliet to Paris. Why do you think he has changed his mind and now wants the couple to marry that same week, when he wanted to wait two years in Act 1? What does this change of pace do to the plot? This is the first time we see Juliet disobey her father and mother. Does this change how you view her character?
Act 3 is important because Romeo and Juliet are separated – with Romeo being banished and Juliet’s proposed marriage to Paris being brought forward. Why do you think Shakespeare does these at the same point in the play?
Act 4 Scene 1
- Juliet is desperate to avoid marrying Paris.
- Friar Laurence can make Juliet a potion to make her appear dead.
- The Nurse doesn’t know about this plan but Friar Laurence plans to let Romeo know by sending him a message. The message tells Romeo to meet Juliet in the tomb so they can leave together when she wakes up.
Act 4 Scene 2
- Juliet has lied to her father.
- The change in date of the wedding is a serious problem for Juliet’s plan.
Act 4 Scene 3
- Juliet takes the potion and feels like there is no other way out.
- Juliet knows she will be taken to the Capulet family tomb.
Act 4 Scene 4
- The household has been up all night preparing food, flowers and music for the wedding.
Act 4 Scene 5
- The potion has worked and everyone believes Juliet to be dead. Her family are devastated.
- Juliet is taken to the family tomb.
Things to notice in Act 4
Notice the length of Act 4. It is very short with the scenes moving quite quickly. This reflects the speed at which things are happening in the text but what does this tell us? Why would Shakespeare have these quick scenes?
Look out for the characters that are missing. Romeo, for example, does not appear in Act 4 at all. What does this tell us about who the key character is in these scenes? Why is this the case?
Take note of Juliet’s relationships and how they change. Which key figures does she lie to? Is this different from her behavior towards them before? Why do you think her attitude towards those people has changed? What does this tell us about Juliet’s emotional state?
Act 4 is important because it explores Juliet’s reaction to Romeo’s banishment – following her plans with the Friar and the execution of her plan to fake her own death. Why do you think Juliet lies to both her family and the Nurse and does not confide in anyone apart from the Friar?
Act 5 Scene 1
- Romeo believes Juliet is really dead.
- Friar Laurence has not got a message to Romeo in time.
- Romeo has purchased a poison to kill himself with.
Act 5 Scene 2
- Friar Laurence has gone to collect Juliet because he knows Romeo has not got his message.
Act 5 Scene 3
- Paris is deeply upset by Juliet's death and really cared for her. When he is mourning in the tomb, Romeo kills him by mistake.
- Friar Laurence leaves Juliet in the tomb when he hears a noise.
- Romeo and Juliet both take their lives, fulfilling the destiny described in the prologue.
- The families find their bodies and agree to end their feud.
Things to notice in Act 5
Notice how Friar Laurence behaves throughout Act 5. Why does he go to the tomb and how does he react to finding Paris and Romeo there? Why do you think he leaves Juliet and runs away? He blames himself at the end of the play and claims he is responsible, how far do you agree with this?
Take note of the clues Shakespeare gives us about the setting of the tomb. Romeo claims he couldn’t see Paris which suggests it is dark. How else does Shakespeare create a picture for the audience of how it feels to be in the Capulet tomb?
Look closely at the resolution of the play. Who instigates the end to their ‘grudge’? What do you think the most important factors are? How do they intend to remember Juliet and Romeo?
Act 5 marks the resolution of the story – Romeo and Juliet both die, believing the other to be dead, and their families agree a truce after witnessing so much death. How many people have died and what are their relationships to the Prince, Lord Capulet and Lord Montague? Why would Shakespeare include this reconciliation?

Romeo and Juliet
By william shakespeare.
- Romeo and Juliet Summary
Romeo and Juliet is set in Verona, Italy, where there is an ongoing feud between the Montague and Capulet families. The play opens with servants from both houses engaged in a street brawl that eventually draws in the family patriarchs and the city officials, including Prince Escalus . The Prince ends the conflict by issuing a decree that prohibits any further fighting at the risk of great punishment.
Meanwhile, Romeo , a young man from the Montague house, laments his unrequited love for a woman named Rosaline, who has vowed to remain chaste for the rest of her life. Romeo and his friend Benvolio happen to stumble across a Capulet servant, Peter , who is trying to read a list of invitees to a masked party at the Capulet house that evening. Romeo helps Peter read the list and decides to attend the party because Rosaline will be there. He plans to wear a mask so that he will nobody will recognize him as a Montague.
Romeo arrives at the Capulets' party in costume. He falls in love with young Juliet Capulet from the moment he sees her. However, Juliet's cousin Tybalt recognizes Romeo and wants to kill him on the spot. Lord Capulet intervenes, insisting that Tybalt not disturb the party because it will anger the Prince. Undeterred, Romeo quietly approaches Juliet and confesses his love for her. After exchanging loving words, they kiss.
Afterwards, Juliet's Nurse tells Romeo that Juliet is a Capulet, which upsets the smitten youngster. Meanwhile, Juliet is similarly distraught when she finds out that Romeo is a Montague. Later that night, Romeo climbs the garden wall into Juliet's garden. Juliet emerges on her balcony and speaks her private thoughts out loud. She wishes Romeo could shed his name and marry her. Upon hearing her confession, Romeo appears and tells Juliet that he loves her. She warns him to be true in his love, and he swears by his own self that he will be. Before they part, they agree that Juliet will send her Nurse to meet Romeo at nine o'clock the next day, at which point he will set a place for them to be married.
The Nurse carries out her duty, and tells Juliet to meet Romeo at the chapel where Friar Laurence lives and works. Juliet meets Romeo there, and the Friar marries them in secret.
Benvolio and Mercutio (another one of Romeo's friends) are waiting on the street later that day when Tybalt arrives. Tybalt demands to know where Romeo is so that he can challenge him to a duel, in order to punish him for sneaking into the party. Mercutio is eloquently vague, but Romeo happens to arrive in the middle of the verbal sparring. Tybalt challenges him, but Romeo passively resists fighting, at which point Mercutio jumps in and draws his sword on Tybalt. Romeo tries to block the two men, but Tybalt cuts Mercutio and runs away, only to return after he hears that Mercutio has died. Angry over his friend's death, Romeo fights with Tybalt and kills him. Then, he decides to flee. When Prince Escalus arrives at the murder scene, he banishes Romeo from Verona forever.
The Nurse tells Juliet the sad news about what has happened to Tybalt and Romeo. Juliet is heart-broken, but she realizes that Romeo would have been killed if he had not fought Tybalt. She sends her Nurse to find Romeo and give him her ring.
That night, Romeo sneaks into Juliet's room, and they consummate their marriage. The next morning, he is forced to leave when Juliet's mother arrives. Romeo travels to Mantua, where he waits for someone to send news about Juliet or his banishment.
During Romeo and Juliet's only night together, however, Lord Capulet decides that Juliet should marry a young man named Paris , who has been asking for her hand. Lord and Lady Capulet tell Juliet of their plan, but she refuses, infuriating her father. When both Lady Capulet and the Nurse refuse to intercede for the girl, she insists that they leave her side.
Juliet then visits Friar Laurence, and together they concoct a plan to reunite her with Romeo. The Friar gives Juliet a potion that will make her seem dead for at least two days, during which time Romeo will come to meet her in the Capulet vault. The Friar promises to send word of the plan to Romeo.
Juliet drinks the Friar's potion that night. The next morning, the day of Juliet and Paris' wedding, her Nurse finds her "dead" in bed. The whole house decries her suicide, and Friar Laurence insists they quickly place her into the family vault.
Unfortunately, Friar John has been unable to deliver the letter to Romeo informing him of the plan, so when Romeo's servant brings him news in Mantua that Juliet has died, Romeo is heart-broken. He hurries back to Verona, but first, buys poison from an Apothecary and writes a suicide note detailing the tragic course of events. As soon as Friar Laurence realizes that his letter never made it to Romeo's hands, he rushes to the Capulet tomb, hoping to arrive before Romeo does.
Romeo arrives at the Capulet vault and finds it guarded by Paris, who is there to mourn the loss of his betrothed. Paris challenges Romeo to a duel, and Romeo kills him quickly. Romeo then carries Paris' body into the grave and sets it down. Upon seeing Juliet's "dead" body lying in the tomb, Romeo drinks the poison, gives her a last kiss - and dies.
Friar Laurence arrives to the vault just as Juliet wakes up. He tries to convince her to flee, but upon seeing Romeo's dead body, she takes her own life as well.
The rest of the town starts to arrive at the tomb, including Lord Capulet and Lord Montague . Friar Laurence explains the whole story, and Romeo's letter confirms it. The two families agree to settle their feud and form an alliance despite the tragic circumstances.

Meanwhile, Romeo , the romantic young son of the Montagues, is suffering: He’s lovelorn over a girl named Rosaline, who doesn’t return his affections. His friends Benvolio and Mercutio persuade him to crash a masked ball thrown by the Capulets, in the hopes that he’ll spot another girl to fall in love with there. This plan works all too well: The disguised Romeo falls instantly in love with Juliet , the Capulets’ daughter. This is inconvenient, to say the least. Not only are the lovers’ parents locked in a feud, Juliet is considering a marriage proposal from the eligible young Count Paris. However, Romeo and Juliet’s love overwhelms all such considerations, and when Romeo comes in secret to Juliet’s garden in the night, they vow to marry.
Romeo’s friends take a dim view of this plan. Benvolio points out that Romeo was desperately in love with another girl five minutes ago; Mercutio will only make sex jokes; and Friar Lawrence , Romeo’s priestly friend and mentor, warns him that “these violent delights have violent ends” (2.6.9). However, Friar Lawrence also sees the young lovers as an opportunity to heal the rift between Montagues and Capulets, and agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet in secret.
Before any good can come of this clandestine marriage, tragedy strikes when the rash and flamboyant Mercutio gets into a street fight with Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt . Mercutio is killed, and a grief-stricken Romeo murders Tybalt in revenge. Though it means leaving behind his new bride, Romeo must flee Verona to avoid punishment at the hands of the Prince.
Juliet is horrified when she learns that her new husband has killed her cousin, and even more horrified when she learns that the “choice” her parents offered her about whether to marry Count Paris was not so much a choice. She bravely decides to stand by Romeo and goes to Friar Lawrence for help. He concocts an elaborate plan to reunite the newlyweds: He’ll give Juliet a drug that makes her seem as if she’s dead, when in fact she’ll just be in a brief, deathlike coma. While her family entombs her, Friar Lawrence will send a message to Romeo to come and find her.
Juliet goes through with this plan, but Friar Lawrence’s part in the proceedings doesn’t go so well. News of Juliet’s “death” reaches Romeo in Mantua before Friar Lawrence’s explanatory message makes it there. Romeo rushes to Verona, where he finds and kills the mourning Paris outside the Capulet tomb. He descends into the dark and, finding what seems to be Juliet’s corpse, poisons himself.
Friar Lawrence arrives at the tomb to care for Juliet as she awakes, only to find her discovering Romeo’s still-warm body lying next to her. The priest tries to convince Juliet to come away, but she refuses, and he flees at the sound of approaching footsteps. Left alone, Juliet stabs herself with Romeo’s dagger. In the wake of these horrors, the Montagues and Capulets, having lost the hope of their future heirs, are forced to make a tragic peace.

Summary of Romeo and Juliet
Romeo and Juliet is a typical love story of a boy and girl who fall in love with each other but get separated because of hurdles created by society. It is a story of two young lovers. Romeo and Juliet belong to two completely different families, families that are different in both background and status. Romeo belongs to a moderate family of Montagues whereas Juliet belongs to an upper-class family called Capulets. The plot of the story begins when one of the authoritative individual's from a Capulet family arranges a ball to select a suitable candidate for Juliet's marriage. This ball becomes the reason for Romeo and Juliet's meeting. When Romeo heard about the ball, he went there with his friends and fell in love with the young beauty, Juliet.
Romeo and Rosaline
Romeo was initially interested in another girl named Rosaline but he forgot her when he saw Juliet for the first time. The next day Romeo accepted his love for Juliet and they both decided to get married secretly. Romeo and Juliet's marriage caused rift between Romeo and Juliet's cousin which led to a horrific fight between the two. In this fight, Juliet's cousin Tybalt and Romeo's friend Mercutio lost their lives. Later, Romeo was thrown out of Verona for his act of killing Tybalt.
Juliet's Marriage With Someone Else
On the other hand, Juliet's father unaware of her secret marriage with Romeo arranged her wedding with a Count called Paris. This situation caused Friar Laurence (the witness of Romeo's and Juliet's wedding) to help Juliet. Laurence gave medicine to Juliet that showed that Juliet is dead. When the servant took the news of Juliet's death to Romeo, he decided to drink poison and died near her tomb. When Juliet got back from her fake death, she got the news of Romeo's death. On hearing this news, Juliet stabbed and killed herself because her life was worthless without Romeo.

Food vendors like Teddy#8217;s Lunch Box and Minuteman Kettlecorn will also be on hand.
WORCESTER, Mass. (AP) — Drama fans and others who want to take a break from the news can head to the Worcester Common Oval for a free production of Shakespeare#8217;s Coriolanus.
The play is being presented by the Worcester Shakespeare Company starting at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
Published 5:38 pm, Sunday, August 13, 2017
In this case, the tragedy is set in ancient Rome and the unrest is sparked when grain is withheld from the populace.
The themes of the play may sound familiar. The political drama deals with the hostility that can fester when a society finds itself grappling with a growing divide between the wealthy and the poor.
Those attending the performance are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chair.


Well, consider the unfortunate news confirmed. I spoke with Public Relations at The Hub, and they have confirmed that G.I. Joe: Renegades will cease airing original episodes after the summer. They have declared the series “On Hiatus” in anticipation of the upcoming film sequel.
This sounds remarkably similar to the situation with Transformers: Animated after the third season, as it was phased out in favor for a style closer to the live action Transformers films. Considering how much stronger fan support Renegades seem to generate, especially when compared to the Rise of Cobra film, this is a disappointing turn of events, to say the least.
Let’s all hope that the next live action film franchise is closer to the spirit of A Real American Hero than the previous film was, so the animation doesn’t potentially suffer for it. The entire text of the communication from The Hub is below.
“…we’re very pleased with the performance of G.I. JOE RENEGADES on The Hub. The series will go on hiatus at the end of season one while the second installment of the G.I. Joe movie franchise is being produced so Hasbro and Hasbro Studios can ensure the creative and storyline continuity that fans of the films and the series expect. We’ll have original episodes into the summer and we envision resuming new animation following the movie.”
I do thank PR at The Hub for their quick confirmation, though I do wish the news was better, for sure. Regardless of the future of G.I. Joe: Renegades, you can count on GeneralsJoes to continue updating the episode guide, spreading the news, and enjoying the hell out of G.I. Joe: Renegades while it lasts.
Yo Joe, I guess.


Michael is a cinematographer/director working out of Las Vegas Nevada. He was born and grew up on the island nation of Taiwan, where he discovered his love for the movies by watching the Shaw Brother's Martial Art epics, Bruce Lee films and fantastical imports like "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" and "Jason and the Argonauts". After moving to Seattle at 13, he started filming little projects with his friends on super 8, both in front of and behind the camera. At 24 Michael moved to Los Angeles and pursued an acting career and was in several movies and television shows, all the while shooting his own projects on the side. Michael's main inspiration to move behind the camera was his uncle, K Su, who was a cinematographer back in the 60's and he was mentored by the great James Wong Howe, before becoming one of the head editors for NBC's network news out of Burbank. Michael is a be proud user of Tokina Cinema USA and their Vista Primes, which give such added beauty to everything that he shoots.

In this study, the novel Die Standarte by Austrian writer Alexander Lernet Holenia and another media tool, the film adaptation of it with the same name by Herbert Asmodi in 1977 were compared. This inter-media work consists of two main backbones, basic arguments about literature adaptation studies were put forwarded in the introduction part and theoretical information in the second part, From Literature to Film; the adaptation issue marks in Germany, has been addressed. In this section, shedding light on the historical development of adaptation films, it is revealed that how the literature and the film close and supportive are each other by using different communication codes. Considering that literary films are in a constant change and development from past to present, both media tools could have different features and the indicators they used are tried to be compared and mentioned. In the third part, From Literature to Film; Inter-media differences, by considering the issues due to the production stage and source of adaptations from the past to today, it has been examined that the language of the novel, which contains written texts, and the language of the film, which has audiovisual and visual elements, are different from each other. In the last section, the novel and the film named Die Standarte will be analyzed in the light of the theoretical approaches by giving examples from each of them, and the argument whether the adaptation film was left behind in the shadow of literature, novel or not is tried to be investigated by in-situ determinations. Based on the opinion that each media tool, both the novel and the movie, is a work of art, the question whether the adaptation is a literary interpretation of literature transferred to the film or not has been investigated with a distinctive template.

||Episode 1 - 'Down Sunnyside Lane'Originally BBC1, 7th March 1978
1935: England during the Great Depression. Arthur Parker, a cockney songsheet salesman, believes in the sugary sentiments of the songs he peddles. When he is refused sex by his repressed wife Joan, he suddenly appears to burst into song, lip-synching to the voice of Elsie Carlisle singing 'The Clouds Will Soon Roll By'. Back in mundane 'reality', Arthur drives to Gloucester in a desperate attempt to sell his sheet music. En route, he nearly runs over a stammering epileptic old tramp, The Accordion Man, whose plight strangely seems to mirror his own. Meanwhile, at home, Joan receives a visit from a smooth vacuum cleaner salesman. When he tries to seduce her with a kiss, Joan spurns his advances, in the same way as she had earlier spurned Arthur's.
In Gloucester, Arthur is awestruck by the appearance in a music shop of Eileen Everson, a demure schoolteacher who seems to represent the kind of girl he dreams about in the songs. Following her out of the shop, he watches as she puts two pennies in the hat of The Accordion Man, who is playing hymns on a street corner. Later, Arthur briefly spies Eileen in a pub but when she flees his initial approach, he has to make do with an adulterous fling with a local goodtime girl he picks up in the bar. In his head, however, he dreams of himself and Eileen dancing 'cheek to cheek'.
Back home in London with Joan, Arthur attempts to persuade her to give him access to her late father's money to help his business. When she refuses, and later, when she is completely unresponsive to his lovemaking, Arthur lies in bed lip-synching to the words of 'Down Sunnyside Lane', tears glistening in his eyes.
With the six-part serial ""Pennies from Heaven"", distinguished TV playwright Dennis Potter achieved his first real popular success. Transforming his career, it would eventually lead to a lucrative spell working in Hollywood.
The serial was conceived as the equivalent of a 'television novel', giving Potter a larger canvas than the one-off television plays with which he had made his name. It also arose from a desire to foreground the sweet and sentimental melodies of the 1930s popular songs of which both he and Pennies' producer, Kenith Trodd, were devoted fans.
The way Potter did this helped revolutionise the creative possibilities of television drama. In Pennies, characters intermittently step out of the drama to mime and dance to original recordings from the 1930s. In this way, the romantic hopes and dreams expressed in the songs reflect the genuine yearnings of ordinary people trapped in the Great Depression of the 1930s.
As realised on videotape by director Piers Haggard and choreographer Tudor Davies, the songs function as 'pennies from heaven': little interludes of brightness and happiness in an otherwise dark '30s tale of murder, lust, betrayal and frustration, in which the lead character, salesman Arthur Parker, is eventually hanged for a crime he did not commit. Potter himself went so far as to compare the songs to 'psalms', in as much as for characters struggling in the teeth of Depression, they encapsulate a similar, almost religious yearning for the world to be a better place. In this way, the drama balances itself on a knife edge between optimism and pessimism - the Eden-like non-naturalistic realm of the songs offering a brighter alternative to the downbeat naturalism of the more materialist world-view of Britain in the grip of Depression.
Millions were enthralled by the resulting concoction when it was first transmitted by BBC1 in March and April 1978. The serial went on to win awards and made a star of its lead actor, Bob Hoskins, who played Arthur Parker.
In 1981, a big-budget Hollywood version of Pennies from Heaven (US, d. Herbert Ross) was released, based on a new screenplay by Potter and starring Steve Martin as Arthur. Yet despite Potter being nominated for an Oscar for best original screenplay, the film failed to make the same impact as the earlier TV version, perhaps suggesting that Potter's bold miming device worked most powerfully within the more confined space of the small screen.


I was laying in bed the other night thinking about this painting and wondering what to name it. I kept thinking of the horizontal gray stripes and how they remind me of all the fantastic scenes in film noir full of smoke and stripey shadows. Like this great still from "To Have and Have Not" starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall:
Bogie fell for Bacall in real life while they were shooting this movie, and the chemistry is SMOKIN HOT. Hot dog, Humphrey Bogart, I love you (#HopelessCrush) and if I ever grow up, I would like to be Lauren Bacall.
(There are other influences from other eras going on here, too. Like the pointiness in the letters, which reminds me of 80s film credits. But that's another story.)
I was working on this at night, lit only by a desk lamp, so here's a noir photo of the studio.
I have other associations with this painting. My husband said it reminded him of a cave, so it also hearkens back to the two desert paintings I've done so far.
But most of all I picture it in the background of a sweeping drama about true love versus deception, with shades of meaning in every line.
"The next morning, she walked in.
She told me she loved me, but I wondered whether to believe her."


In today’s globalized world, being a multilingual actor can be a game-changer. Not only does it enhance your ability to connect with diverse audiences, but it also opens doors to international opportunities. In this article, we will explore why learning languages is crucial for actors and how it can significantly impact their careers.
1. Cultural Understanding:
Learning languages allows actors to delve deep into different cultures, enabling them to portray characters authentically. By understanding the nuances of a language, actors can better empathize with the emotions, gestures, and customs of the characters they play, resulting in more convincing performances.
2. Expanded Audition Opportunities:
Being able to speak multiple languages broadens an actor’s range of audition opportunities. Many productions require actors who can speak specific languages fluently, particularly in international film and theater. By having a command of different languages, actors can audition for a wider variety of roles, increasing their chances of success.
3. International Networking:
Knowing multiple languages facilitates networking with actors, directors, and producers from around the world. Attending international film festivals, workshops, and acting classes opens doors to collaborations and exposure to different artistic perspectives. Networking with professionals from diverse backgrounds can lead to exciting projects and global recognition.
4. Increased Marketability:
In an industry where versatility is highly valued, being bilingual or multilingual makes actors more marketable. Casting directors often seek actors who can communicate effortlessly with international co-stars and crew, making the production process smoother. Additionally, bilingual actors have a unique advantage when it comes to dubbing, voice-overs, and international productions.
5. Access to Original Scripts:
Learning languages allows actors to access original scripts in their original language. By reading plays, screenplays, and literature in their native language, actors gain a deeper understanding of the cultural context and nuances of the text. This knowledge can enhance their interpretations and bring a unique perspective to their performances.

When the Kitagi granite industry was at its peak, the tiny island of Kitagishima had four movie theaters. The Hikari Cinema operated from the early 1950s until 1967. The projector and other equipment remain in place, and the screen and chairs are still set up as if on a stage, providing an authentic retro atmosphere.
The theater was unused for a long time after the closing, but island residents have come together to revive it. It is currently used for Friendship Club meetings, and to screen a documentary film about Kitagi granite and the history of the “stone island” Kitagishima.

As a feminist activist who has worked on systemic violence on Indian women for over fifteen years, I have long waited for India to produce a film like Parched. Directed by Leena Yadav with a strong, all-female, central cast, there is a cinematic beauty and integrity to the film’s narrative that undoubtedly are among the factors that have earned it eighteen international awards and a place in the Oscar library. But what makes this film particularly memorable, is how without cringing it makes a number of explicit and discomforting statements on how women need to deal with male violence which, even if presented within an Indian cultural context, have universal relevance.
Parched is the story of three women, Lajjo, Rani and Bijli, in an Indian village and how their friendship helps them triumph misogyny and male violence in their personal lives. Lajjo (played by Radhika Apte)…

ADEN – the Yemeni port city where my father mysteriously died, so around which my Boy from the Moor blog revolves – celebrates 50 years of independence from British rule this November 30th.
Coincidentally a BBC drama series named Last Post is airing, which is set in ADEN in the fractious last years before Independence. As its plot unfolds we are being drawn into the maelstrom of intrigue, violence, heat and dust, culture and ideology clashes and emotions on all sides that was pretty much how it was then. And it neatly portrays the scene of my father’s life and death in that place.
Throughout my story I have been referring to various of the themes presented in the show. And this month’s blog post, which is dedicated to Yemen and independence in ADEN, sets out to present a history of the British time in ADEN that should put into context why and how the tumultuous events at Independence unfolded, and the Adeni/Yemeni experience to the present day, involving the legacy left by the British, leading up to the miserable ongoing civil war in which the country of Yemen finds itself today.
This post is a one-off anniversary tribute to the special country of YEMEN. Please visit here.


Prophet was originally a play written by Taiwanese avant-garde artist Huang Hua-Chen and one of the first programs performed by Theatre Quarterly at Tien Educational Center in 1965. It represented the beginning of experimental play writing in postwar Taiwan. Huang depicts a married couple going to see a stage show, but the only things on the stage are the movement of light/shadows and screen, coupled with the sound of rope pulleys, while the male and female lead sit in the audience talking. They start by discussing the banalities of daily life in a whisper, but this gradually devolves into complaining and arguing. As a professional copyist, the husband believes he’s played the role of mentor since the May Fourth Movement in China and defends himself, saying he could not realize the movement’s ideals due to a lack of resources. His character showcases the psychological disorder of modernist intellectuals. The structure for this performance and the scenes depicted suggest that Huang’s original intention was to break with the traditional theatre model. However, this approach was rejected by the director at that time, Yao-Chi Chen, who cancelled the mechanical movement on the stage and returned the actors to the stage.
The video Hua Shan Qiang (2013) uses Chinese funeral ritual papiermâché offerings to allude to the fracture in Taiwan’s history and social sentiment caused by colonization. I’m interested in how this ritual tells stories, the ways in which the form and meaning of this ceremonial culture have changed since its arrival in Taiwan, and the potential narrative within this process.
It is no exaggeration to say that Prophet has never been “properly” performed so I invited the original performers Chuang Ling and Liu Yin- Shang to return to the stage in 2016 to perform the “absence” originally intended. Their performance was documented and made into a film also titled Prophet which seeks to not only re-understand, 50 years later, the narrative arrangements made by Huang beyond the story, but also attempts to interpret the absence in it.

Drawing on the disturbing and complicated mythologies of the surrealist writer William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch), Black Lodge uses dance, industrial rock, classical string quartet, and opera to take viewers through a Lynchian psychological escape room.
Set in a nightmarish Bardo, a place between death and rebirth, a tormented writer faces down demons of his own making. Forced to confront the darkest moment in his life, he mines fractured and repressed memories for a way out. A woman is at the center of all the writer’s afterlife encounters. She is the subject of his life’s greatest regret, and she materializes everywhere in this Otherworld. The writer cannot detach any thoughts of his life from her.

Katrina Kaif (born Katrina Turquotte on 16 July 1983) is a British Indian actress and former model who appears in Indian films, mainly in the Hindi film industry. She has also appeared in Telugu and Malayalam films. Being a British citizen, she works in India on an employment visa.
Kaif made her acting debut in 2003 with Kaizad Gustad’s box office bomb Boom. The following year, she starred in the Telugu romantic comedy Malliswari, which emerged a financial success.
In 2007, she earned commercial success in Bollywood with Vipul Shah’s Namastey London and later earned recognition for playing glamorous roles in male-centric films such as Partner (2007), Race (2007) and Singh Is Kinng (2008); all of which were box office successes. Kaif subsequently played more prominent roles in films like New York (2009), Rajneeti (2010), Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011), and Ek Tha Tiger (2012, the third highest-grossing Bollywood film).Despite earning mixed reviews from critics for her acting prowess, she has established herself as a commercially successful actress of Hindi cinema.


I like Shah Rukh Khan. He is a nice guy who knows how to use words like dichotomous. I like a few of his movies too. I look forward to his films, and even after reading reviews, I do go and watch them. There was Bazigar, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Oh Darling, Yeh Hai India, and DDLJ from his years as a star. There was Devdas, Veer-Zara and Swades from his years as a superstar. And then there was Paheli, Om Shanti Om, and My Name is Khan from his middle age years. Some other films that I enjoyed have been Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Hey Ram, and Kal Ho Na Ho. I guess that entitles him to have his share of bad hair days. And he sure knows how to claim his entitlements. There are a good number of Shah Rukh Khan films that I wish I had not had to see. Ra.One just got added to that list.
All of the last several weeks, Shah Rukh has invaded all breathing spaces of the nation, through television, newspapers, radio, malls and multiplexes, and the internet, pushing his diwali offering of Ra.One. Positioned as a high tech, sci fi, good versus evil, comicbook superhero movie, Ra.One is the ultimate mish-mash of all the formulas that have worked for Shah Rukh over the decades. There is bad stereotype comedy, a non resident Indian family, a fantasy action hero, a fantasy action villain, an item number where you are not sure who or what the item is, pathetic regional language puns, a host of special appearances, along with a dash of romance and some glycerin tears. With a budget of over 100 crores (which can mean anything between 150 and 200 crores including the marketing and promotion budget, but why split hairs over a hundred crores here and there), and tech effects that are truly cutting edge, this film is one that people have been looking forward to very eagerly. You know what is coming next.
The good bits first.
The sound design by Oscar winner Resul Pookutty is impressive as is the Dolby 7.1 effects. Like most Hindi films with impressive sound engineering, Ra.One takes it for granted that you are hearing impaired, and manages to soak the otherwise attractive soundscape with uncalled for decibels.
The special effects and the computer graphics are on par with the best seen in recent times but appear disjointed, as if patched on to the movie as an afterthought. Arjun Random Access Rampal “did good.” He looks convincingly good and evil, even though you can hardly understand what he says. Maybe that is how his lines were written.
There are only 10 kinds of people in the world, those who speak binary and those who don’t.
The film also does an Om Shanti Om (I guess it is that, and not just blatant copying, since even Shah Rukh has some self respect after all) by creating moments that take you back to a host of classic superhero movies - Matrix, Spiderman, Terminator, Batman and Ironman.
End of good bits.
The film fraternity and the ancillary industries are all abuzz about what a wonderful film it is, and how it portrays Indian values packaged in International high tech. I am not sure about this at all. Shah Rukh plays a south Indian techie who is a Berkeley graduate living and working in London for a gaming company. The brightest moment of the film is a Hindi version of a song that has “and possibly bend you over, look back and watch me, smack that, all on the floor, smack that, give me some more, smack that till you get sore,” as its refrain. The game handle that Shah Rukh’s son uses is Lucifer. The tech references and subtexts do bring a smile to your lips, but not unless you are very familiar with role playing games, robotics, and of course, the usual gaming and computer generated imagery worlds. For the rest of us, we have to make do with risque regional language puns and cultural stereotyping. Not at all sure which Indian values the cultural ambassadors of bollywood are referring to in their tweets and blogs.
The Rajnikant cameo will go down as a Indian cinema moment only for the star values involved, but there is nothing more to it. One fails to understand the logic or purpose of the special appearances, that is presuming that there is one. The film starts with a fantasy tone, letting you know that this is a comicbook superhero kind of a film, and that you should probably suspend your disbelief is order to appreciate it. Best of luck is all I can say to viewers who fall for that. The entire first half is devoted to creating the setting for the showdown between the dark.one and the good.one, while the second half is drowned in special effects, both visual and audio. The Indian tradition of sci fi films is maintained with no plausible explanation for the things that happen as the plot unravels, leaving trails that start out of the blue and take you nowhere. There was a certain freshness about Mr. India that is obviously difficult to recreate in today’s day and age, but Ra.One is definitely more bearable than Krish, Koi Mil Gaya, and Dashavatar. I am aware that that by itself doesn’t really amount to anything, but then, neither does Ra.One.


MY MOM AND THE GIRL comes with an important mission: to change the conversation about Alzheimers. By all accounts, it is succeeding. And now, with the announcement of Bill Gates commitment to Alzheimer's, this little movie may just be more important than ever.

To begin, it stars Valerie Harper in her first role since her cancer diagnosis 5 years ago, it's based on a true story that resonates across generations and cultures, and it manages to authentically portray a tough subject in such a way that makes audiences laugh and fills them with hope at the same time.
