Product: Romeo and Juliet [Region 2] (1968)
Rating: 5.0
Human Emotion transcends time............
I first saw this film in eighth grade for an English assignment,and now nearly 20 something years later it is still powerful. The movie is beautifully filmed ,the actors are each perfect for the roles and the costumes are gorgeaus. The spirit of the film ,of youthful passion is felt and the two lead actors-Leonard Whitting and Olivia Hussey portray that effortlessly. Even though the film is 37 years old today it still grabs your attention and leaves you rapt in emotion - exhilaration, adoration, passion ,sadness, disbelief, and finally regretful grief. The director has made a classic that transcends time because he makes us see what the characters feel.
