Innovative

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2003)

I think this film is very innovative. The director took a whole new approach to film the Shakespeare's classic. Instead of purely making the words visual, the film reinvents the story. The story is set in modern times, you see cars, guns, helicopters, ambulance, express courier services etc. Apart from the obligatory electronic music, you even get altar boys singing hard rock! Romeo & Juliet experience is taken to new heights. I never noticed the female lead, Claire Danes. She is so adorable! I wonder why is she not in more films. I definitely recommend this film!
