Misunderstood

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 1999)

I would like to address the slanderous comments for this film made by some users. One must understand that while this film is not historically accurate, perfectly written or acceptable to the over-cultured complainers it has great entertainment. True Romeo and Juliet is based on Romeus and Juliet but that would make a terrible film. This is not a documentary but a love story and that it did achieve. The beauty of the medium of film is that there are no rules in the making of it.. so don't place any on it else the magic and mystery is gone. Joseph Fiennes portrayed something that all of us breathing people have experienced, that is love. Love is never in perfect form as is the case with Romeo and Juliet as well as this film. Great film worthy of all that it received.
