The movies Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge! are part of a movie trilogy (called the Red Curtain Trilogy).
The point of the trilogy is to tell stories through the three main types of performance storytelling in a way that constantly reminds the watcher that what they're watching isn't real.
The first movie in the trilogy is Strictly Ballroom, where most of the story is told through dance.
The second is Romeo + Juliet, where the story is primarily told through speech (the goal of breaking the suspension of disbelief is why the movie is set in modern times but the speech is the original Shakespearean text).
The third is Moulin Rouge!, whose story is mostly carried via song.

if you have violent intrusive thoughts I love you. if you have sexual intrusive thoughts I love you. if you have bigoted intrusive thoughts I love you. you are not your thoughts and you are worthy of love and care and help and affection. you are not a monster you’re a person going through it and that’s okay
Iron Man 1 really said "the actual bad guy is the white capitalist who is selling arms under the table to both sides in order to extend the war and make as much money from it as possible," and Iron Man 2 really said "the white capitalist who gives a platform to people with bad intentions in order to make a buck is the reason the bad intentions have the opportunity to prosper and cause untold damage," and Iron Man 3 really said "the real terrorist is the white capitalist who will create and use fear to manipulate governments and the public in order to sell a product," and I really don't think enough people recognise this.
my super power is that being rick rolled brings me joy. i may say "god dammit" but it's appreciative. i love the song and i know you are trying to be a fiend and my god i love that for you. kiss me on the mouth
