Mockering Shakespeare

Rating: 1/10 (1 October 2006)

I saw this film very long time ago, but I still remember this time. It was Monday, as far I can remember, I had a plenty of problems and felt terribly and thought that such a romantic film can improve my mood a bit. I like W. Shakespeare very much, read R+J before, so I was completely astounded by what the director made of this perfect tragedy. He moved the action from Verona to nowadays America and much of the original texts lost their sense. Many of the personage are cartoons of their selves. Only Leguizamo was trying to act, the others were telling their words without any passion. I like C.Danes and DiCaprio but they don't come up to each other. She is not such beautiful, in my opinion, as real Juliet should be.
