Huge help for English class

Rating: Null/10 (5 December 2001)

First of all, I have to say that it's a great film. I must have seen it at least five times, and now that I'm reading it for English class, I'm doing great. I know a lot of people would disagree with me, but I think it's a great idea to watch the movie before reading it. It will get you accustomed to the speech and familiar with the story line. I recommend that all English teachers show this to their freshmen before they read it. I have also seen the Zefferelli version, and it's brilliant, but save that for after they read it. The Leonardo Dicaprio/Claire Danes version is much easier to relate to and understand.
