Romeo + JulietStarring Leoardo DiCaprio (Titanic, What's Eating Gilbert Grapes) and Clair Danes (The Mod Squad, Terminator III) Released 1996 A modernize motion picture of Romeo and Juliet, adapted from Shakespeare's tragic tale of two young loves torn apart from family feuds. _______________ I'm positive that everyone have heard about Romeo and Juliet before, right? Especially in English class.  Personally, I really like this movie. DiCaprio and Danes seemed to spark a chemistry together. From time to time, I would insert the DVD in the player and watch it. But the funny thing is that I'm not bored with it, like A Walk to Remember (Sorry in advance) or finding the movie corny or badly acted. I think it's pretty good editing and acting considering that it is nearly a decade ago.  One of my favorites  ;D

I pay zero attention on directors. Haha... But that's surprising, but I understands, now, why Moulin Rouge is so great. From the director of Romeo and Juliet. ;D And yep! Leo and Clair are talented performers. Clair was so pretty with her long hair. I don't understand why she keep having them short now. Haha... |

it was ... different. I saw it back in 1996, I was 11, I was so confused. lol. then I saw it again after I read the play freshman year and it all started to make sense.
the way they tried to modernize it was interesting. like on the gun, it said 'dagger' lol

Yes, I enjoy more when a movie is in the present/ modern years. Instead of horses, they use cars; bows and arrows, they used gun. I just like modern movies more. Haha...

i love the way this movie was filmed. all the props and designs totally fit the mood of the scene and all of the scenes were so extravagant.
i thought leonardo dicaprio did a good job in it, but claire danes.. i don't know, her shakespeare sounded forced.

This was a really great movie- well done. Broke my heart of course! Same here. I hated the ending. I was sort of hoping that they'll change the ending, but they didn't.  But I guess that was the entire theme, forbidden love will result in deaths. And of course, keeping Shakespheare stories alive. i love the way this movie was filmed. all the props and designs totally fit the mood of the scene and all of the scenes were so extravagant. i thought leonardo dicaprio did a good job in it, but claire danes.. i don't know, her shakespeare sounded forced. Nonetheless, I love Clair Danes. ;D She seems great to me. Lol... |

Sometime bored, I would take out the tape and insert it into my VCR. The stories never seemed to broe me, and I always find it extremely touching after watching it. |

I remember I saw this movie when it was in the theatres with my friends and didn't like it at first because they talked like the book but the film was set in the present day. I gave it another chance though when it came out on VHS and realized that I really liked it (Espically LEO!! ). |
