A definition of love

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2009)

So, a classic play with a modern setting? Can it be done? No. If Baz is the director? Yes! This movie could not have been made by anyone else. Claire Danes (beautiful angel costume, compliments to Catherine Martin) shines as Juliet. She isn't the traditional Juliet that the play was originally sexist towards her character. She's got emotion and adds more into Juliet than no one ever did. When Juliet committed suicide, that facial expression into the camera was so strong and memerorizing, as is the film. I cried like a baby whilst watching it. Leonardo Di Caprio is perfect as Romeo, being a today teenager and an Elizabethen teenager at the same time. With an amazing kissing scene, Romeo+ Juliet wins in originality. It's well acted, and the deaths are done really well and the suicide scene defines love and the true meaning of it.
