Kissing you from Romeo and Juliet (1996)

From time to time, I always watch the Love at First Sight scene of Romeo and Juliet on Youtube. Each of their dialogues is a piece of literature. I wish I could speak like that. :-P Meanwhile, the background music is so sweet. The scene then ends with this beautiful poem: (It is when they find out they are the son and daughter of two enemy families.)

Then Juliet, seeing Romeo leaving, whispered quietly to herself on the balcony:

My only love sprung from my only hate!
Too early seen unknown, and known too late!
Prodigious birth of love it is to me,
That I must love a loathed enemy.

This is the link for the movie:

Here is the song ‘Kissing you’:

Lyrics:

Pride can stand a thousand trials,
The strong will never fall

But watching stars without you,
My soul cries.

Heaving heart is full of pain,
Oh, oh, the aching.

‘Cause I’m kissing you, oh.
I’m kissing you, oh.

Touch me deep, pure and true,
Gift to me forever

‘Cause I’m kissing you, oh.
I’m kissing you, oh.

Where are you now?
Where are you now?

‘Cause I’m kissing you.
I’m kissing you, oh.



Inglorious Basterds

Led and written by the famous director Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt starred in this movie, ‘Inglorious Basterds’ is believed to be a must-watch film lately! (but I’m not sure if it falls in the right category of teenage students in Hong Kong… :-P ) It doesn’t harm to check out the trailer though. Go for it!

What do you think about it?

(Note that the movie title ‘inglorious basterds‘ is spelled by ‘terd’ ending instead of the vulgar word by ‘tard’ ending. See the official movie website for more information: http://www.inglouriousbasterds-movie.com/)
