  • Preceded by a dance, the ballad "WHAT IS A YOUTH" comes from the film "Romeo & Juliet" by Franco Zeffirelli [1968]. This is the filmed version I prefer of Shakespeare's play. The two actors are gracefully fresh: Olivia Hussey (as Juliet) is in her spring and Leonard Whiting (as Romeo) too, Olivia almost out of time.
    The tune "What is a Youth" was composed by Nino Rota for Eugene Walter lyrics. The song was sung by Glen Weston.
    After morisca danced on some medieval dance tunes, the ballad "What Is A Youth" is in a "neo-troubadour" style: a cry of love in minor scale, a scene with few lyrics. The song sums up the whole drama: the inescapable attraction of the two young kids. How an impetuous fire hugs Juliet and Romeo, how it draws them to each other and leads them to death. The words of love are sweeter than honey but whose cry, in the end is bitterly sad. Their love disturbs too much the rules of the family clans in Verona.
    The popularity of the song will not wane; it will be brilliantly sung by Ukrainian singer Konstantin Udovenko. glv
    What is a youth? Impetuous fire
    What is a maid? Ice and desire. The world wags on.
    A rose will bloom It then will fade
    So does a youth So does the fairest maid.
    Comes a time when one sweet smile
    Has its season for a while
    Then Love's in love with me.
    Some may think only to marry
    Others will tease and tarry
    Mine is the very best parry
    Cupid he rules us all,
    Caper the caper; sing me the song
    Death will come soon to hush us along
    Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
    Love is a task and it never will pall
    Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
    Cupid he rules us all.
    A rose will bloom, it then will fade
    So does a youth
    So does the fairest maid.
    [1968] précédée d’une danse, la ballade « WHAT IS A YOUTH » est tirée du film « Romeo et Juliette » de Franco Zeffirelli [1968]. C’est la version filmée que je préfère de la pièce de Shakespeare avec Olivia Hussey en son printemps et Léonard Whiting : le jeu des deux acteurs est d'une fraîcheur gracieuse, Olivia presque hors du temps. L’air « What is a Youth » a été composé par Nino Rota sur des paroles d’Eugene Walter que chante Glen Weston.
    Après la Morisca dansée sur des airs de danses médiévales, la ballade « What Is A Youth » est en style « néo-troubadour » : un cri d’amour en mineur qui émeut car il musicalise une scène avec peu de paroles. Le chant résume le drame entier : l’attraction inéluctable des deux jeunes gens. Comment un feu impétueux étreint Juliette et Roméo, comment il les attire l’un vers l’autre et les mène à la mort, jeunes. Voilà des mots d’amour plus doux que le miel mais dont le cri, en définitive, est triste et aussi perçant que celui du goéland. Leur amour dérange par trop les règles des clans familiaux à Vérone. La popularité de la chanson ne se démentira pas ; elle sera reprise avec brio par le chanteur ukrainien Konstantin Udovenko [Константин Удовенко].
    Quelle jeunesse ? Feux impétueux
    Quelle servante ? Glace et désire. Le monde bouge.
    Une rose va fleurir Pour ensuite faner
    Ainsi fait la jeunesse Ainsi de la meilleure servante.
    Vient une époque où un sourire
    À sa saison, pour un temps
    Puis Amour est amoureux de moi.
    Certaines personnes pensent seulement à se marier
    D'autres vont taquiner et s'attarder.
    La mienne est la plus belle des parades
    Cupidon règne sur nous tous.
    Capulet, chantez moi la chanson
    La mort va bientôt venir pour vous faire taire
    Plus sucré que le miel et aigre comme l'humiliation
    L'amour est un passe-temps qui ne perd jamais de son charme
    Plus sucré que le miel et aigre comme l'humiliation
    Cupidon règne sur nous tous.
    Une rose va fleurir, pour ensuite faner
    Ainsi passe la jeunesse
    Ainsi en est-il de la meilleure servante.

    Man, I never knew how beautiful Shakespeare plays are. I always hated Romeo and Juliet, just Shakespeare in general. But after rewatching this, I JUST realized how beautiful the writing really is. The conversation between Romeo and Juliet is so witty. I just fell in love...I guess my teachers were right; Shakespeare’s plays are meant to be seen not read. Man I’m so late on this...

If you attempt to match this version, you will miserably fail. This is unsurpassable by all accounts. Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whitting are the true Romeo and Juliet.

      Notice that the party had no age gap. Everyone fit, and were socializing with one another.
      Juliet's father knew how to throw a respectable social event. It's the only party where
      trespass can be sweetly urged! Innocence today is a lost commodity! The viewer is drawn
      to the fashion, and cultural respect of one another. Some feel they belong back in this era.
      It's something one can relate to as well. I know I do. The world was less puzzling, but still,
      life was complicated just the same back then as it is today.

      Like every teenage boy in the universe seeing the film, I fell for Olivia Hussey, all the more so as there was a girl like her at my school! I married somebody entirely different, though also petite and brunette it is true. Olivia did not have an easy life (cancer), and I guess seeing her now it would be hard to guess she had been a heart-throb for millions. Such is life. I therefore welcome the perspective-setting story you tell here, and say a heartfelt "God bless you!"

    I read a review about these two from Roger Ebert. Before this version of Romeo and Juliet, actors in their 20s and 30s recited Shakespeare lines to each other as if only the words mattered. But Olivia (15) and Leonard (17) brought a youthful spontaneity and playfulness, freshness, a naivety and breathless passion to the role. It’s as if we were experiencing the story for the very first time.

In fact, there's a blonde girl at 4.20 (on Rosaline's right) who always makes me of early Renaissance paintings. I'm sure I've seen a face just like hers in one of them, with the same hairstyle as well, but I just can't quite place which picture or artist it was! The film itself is a masterpiece.
