Great Movie!

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2006)

My English class just finished a unit on Romeo and Juliet and we finished it out with the viewing of this movie. Originally I was very interested to see this movie and I was hoping that i wouldn't be disappointed and I wasn't. Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio have such chemistry in this film, it is amazing! This movie literally take your normal, everyday, Romeo and Juliet and adapts it into a more realistic time-line and setting, This movie also does an amazing job of representing the many emotional concepts covered in the actual play. Even though the dialog in this movie is said in the Shakespearian- English format, It is very easy to understand if one has read the play before. So, all in all, great movie!
