#aimer

On ne se sent jamais aussi vivant que quand on aime et qu’on est aimé…

Round 1:

Me: [at the witness stand] I know I have talked about my preference for a white wedding instead of a color one for Aimer like some productions *glares at the Austrian and Revival*…but really, guys, I mean it. I know it isn’t realistic for RetJ to whip out something white to wear while they’re trying to hide their forbidden love affair from their color-coded families, but it’s the ~symbolism for me. Having RetJ be in their house colors when they are literally getting married and defying said houses is just not it. It’s not white=wedding, it’s white=a color that is RetJ’s alone and doesn’t signify the damn feud. It could be purple (red + blue) or even black (to symbolize their subversion of Verona’s norms). If I were to direct a production, I’d have RetJ begin Aimer in their house colors, (because yeah, it’s ordinary dress, they can’t draw attention) and then change/reveal their white costumes because they are beyond the feud now. Then Romeo would be able to keep some portion of his white costume during On Dit Dans La Rue. It would also give them something to do instead of just singing at each other and going to the altar and kneeling. Speaking of the direction, can we please make Aimer not boring to look at? The French and Hungarian are still the gold standard for direction, but I swear the direction of this scene keeps getting lazier and lazier. I don’t know, does that make sense?
