| my review... |
One of my favorite films is ROMEO & JULIET. A love story; very dramatic and very emotional, where two lovers can’t be together because their parents are enemies. The film was adapted from William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet and was directed by Baz Luhrmann. In Baz Luhrmann’s film the story is set on Verona Beach and is more modern. It stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo and Claire Danes as Juliet, and also John Leguizamo as Juliet’s cousin Tybalt.
ROMEO & JULIET tells the story of a girl,Juliet Capulet, and a guy, Romeo Montecchio, who see each other at Capulet’s party and fall in love without knowing who they are. Juliet and Romeo discover they are enemies, but they marry in secret. On that happy day everything is about to change. Tybalt kills Mercutio, Romeo’s best friend, and Romeo kills Tybalt and is banished from Verona. Juliet’s father wanted her to marrry Paris and she makes up a plan with the priest where she pretends to be dead and then Romeo would come and take her with him. But destiny didn’t help the message to arrive to Romeo and when he has discovered she was dead he kills himself right beside her. She opened her eyes but it was too late and she dies too. I believe the characters, Tebalt and Mercutio, played a very important role for the story because their deaths separate the lovers and brings death to them.
Leonardo Dicaprio is brilliant as Romeo and he makes every feeling look so real. I believe that the scene where he killed Tybalt is represented so well that I can see the anger in his eyes. Claire’s performance is fantastic throughout the film. All the Capulet and Montecchio boys have good performances.
ROMEO & JULIET shows once again the work of Baz Luhrmann with love and death stories (MOULIN ROUGE).
I recommend this film. It’s definitely worth seeing as it is a story which transcends time. |

Romeo and Juliet must be one of the greatest stories ever, and one of the saddest love stories ever as well. It makes one think about what's really important in life.
Great choice, nice work. =)

I saw that film and I loved it. Romeo and Juliet is really a very sad story but very eloquent and strong as well. It make us think about the meaning of feelings and make us realise that we can't take them to lightly.
Great post, you made an excellent review ^_^

I love all the work of Shakespeare!
I have read Romeo & Juliet and I cried at the end. I was like a dreamer and, at that time, I wanted to date a "real" prince like in Romeo & Juliet. Now I don't complain because I'm dating one! looool
I liked the film too! =)
Lots of kisses!
