Cultural Opportunities

It’s November 19, 2009, six hours before the premiere of the New Moon is released in theaters. I am at work and almost every girl and guy already got their tickets for the night show. The Rave and Pekin were sold out of tickets but I am going to the Sunnyland Theater. We got there about an hour before the show, so we could get good seats. We all had to park far out almost by the Super Pantry gas station because there was already a big crowd. We went into the doors and the door backed up the lines. There were at least 50 or more in line before us. A lot of them have been waiting for about three hours or even more so they can get a good seat. There were more girls than there were guys. Every girl had either, t-shirts, necklaces, and purses that said the Twilight or New Moon, and my group we had T-Shirts on. Its fifteen minutes before the movie starts, and they are finally seating for the movie. Everyone is so pumped up, loud and jumping in the air because they had energy drinks so they could stay up tonight. Everyone right now is just talking about how they think the movie is going to turn out or juts about the book. Its midnight now and the movie start a minute after midnight. As we all countdown ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three two, one and everyone gets up and cheers that its time for the movie to begin. There was complete silence in theater throughout the movie. All of eyes were on the movie the entire time. At the end of the movie everyone got up and clapped. On the way out of the movie, everyone was talking about what they forgot in the movie that was in the book or how Jacob and Edward were so hot in the movie and that they have to have them. The movie everyone said was the better than the last one because they had a better director for the movie.

Cultural Opportunities

Shakespeare in love, its, 1593 in London, Philip Henslowe is the manger of the theater finds himself balance due to a loan shark named Hugh Fennyman. He offers Philip a partnership in a new production that William Shakespeare wrote called Romeo and Ethel and the Pirates Daughter. William finds out that his love was cheating on him. He throws his play right into the fire, and then he renamed his play Romeo and Juliet. He could not right the play because he had no inspiration but he was still auditing for Romeo. A young boy came to Williams the theater to try out for a part in the play named Thomas Kent but really he was a young woman that loved t act and her named was Viola de Lesseps. William tracked down the young and found out his identity and falls in love with Viola. William found his inspiration and it was Viola and he then began writing the rest of the play. William and Viola had to hide their love because Viola is having an arranged marriage. As they hide there love, and keep sneaking around William makes love to Viola and that’s when he got the balcony scene for Romeo and Juliet. If William play is a success then he gets money from the Queen. Viola gets married that day the play was going to be shown. She gets married and then she sneaks out of the carriage and goes to the theater to see the play. When she got there, they were missing a Juliet so she volunteered t play her. William thought she was gone forever and that he did not get to see her again. William was playing Romeo that day and when Viola came out on stage to be Juliet William eyes locked with hers the whole time. I thought the movie was great because it was about how Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet. I loved Romeo and Juliet when I first saw it on the TV. At first when I picked out this movie I thought I was not going to like it but I was wrong. I liked how one girl could make Shakespeare write a whole play. He wrote it about how he fell in love with Viola. He got some many ideas juts by making love to her. I think this movie is better than Romeo and Juliet because you can feel the love Shakespeare was having with Viola.
