KimuraBenvolio’s immediate response to Mercutio’s death is really interesting. As a general rule, KimuraBenvolio is less touchy and physically affectionate than MiuraBenvolio (at least as far as I’ve noticed). Even while Mercutio is dying in his arms, it’s less like he’s holding Mercutio and more like he’s letting Mercutio rest against him. He doesn’t hold his hand. He doesn’t grasp at his shoulder the way MiuraBenvolio does. At one point, he even seems to look for a way out, but the other Montagues keep him there. When Mercutio strokes Benvolio’s face, KimuraBenvolio looks away.

But when Mercutio dies, KimuraBenvolio is different. Mercutio’s hand falls from his cheek and he tries to catch it. Then when he realizes Mercutio is dead, he starts sobbing and presses his forehead to Mercutio’s temple. You can hear him hyperventilating as he grasps at Mercutio’s jacket. And when Romeo turns to face Tybalt, Benvolio puts his arms around Mercutio and holds him and then reaches for Mercutio’s hand and holds it. But he’s very, very specific about the way he holds it. He doesn’t just hold onto it—he’s careful to make sure their hands are palm to palm (I’m sure it isn’t intentional, but it makes me think of the meeting sonnet in the original Shakespeare: Palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss). While Lady Capulet speaks, you can see him in the background still cradling Mercutio (arms wrapped around his shoulders) and it looks like he kisses his forehead another few times (or leans against his forehead—again, the distance/fact that it’s in the background makes it hard to tell). He’s still hugging him and seems to take his hand again in the beginning of “La vengeance.”

When he gets up to defend Romeo, he makes sure someone is holding Mercutio so his head isn’t on the ground. By the time he actually shouts, “You’re wrong!” at Lady Capulet, you can tell he knows he has nothing left to lose. It’s already set in that Mercutio is gone.

Anyway, this is all a very wordy way of saying my heart is in pieces.

Kimura understood the assignment

If you choose to interpret Benvolio and Mercutio’s relationship as romantic in the Toho Black Version of Roméo et Juliette, “Comment lui dire?” is just that much more painful.

Look at the way Benvolio shakes his head before he confesses that he understands Romeo’s pain. It’s a subtle, semiconscious gesture. He has to bring the news of Juliet’s death to Romeo. He knows Juliet’s death will hurt Romeo. It’s a pain they can share, but in order to share it, Benvolio has to tell Romeo the full extent of his relationship with Mercutio, and he doesn’t seem ready for that.

When he tells Romeo that Juliet is dead, too, he looks like he wants to say more. But Romeo isn’t listening anymore, so telling him won’t make a difference. Instead, Benvolio just runs.

So… I noticed something else.

When Romeo lets go of Mercutio’s hand to take the knife (and stab Tybalt), KimuraBenvolio almost immediately reaches to hold Mercutio’s hand, like he needs Mercutio to know that he’s there, even though Mercutio is already gone.

See? In the first picture, Romeo is holding Mercutio’s hand, then he lets go, and then Benvolio holds Mercutio’s hand. It’s very deliberate, too. He thinks it through as much as he can think anything through in his state of grief and confusion.
