Product: Romeo and Juliet [Region 2] (1968)
Rating: 4.0
Brings back my teen years in the theater.
First saw this movie as a 14 or 15 year-old teen. Loved the film! It is one of those seminal movie moments of my youth. I think it is the definitive film version of 'Romeo and Juliet.' Never saw DiCaprio's version and have no real desire to. The DVD was of excellent quality, considering the original film was shot in 1968. My teen daughter watched it with me, and did have some trouble following the Shakespearean dialog, but she could still follow the storyline. (I think we had more exposure to the classics in the Baby Boomer Gen than do kids today.) Nonetheless, we both enjoyed the experience and the DVD was delivered in Amazon's usual timely manner. The angry Prince's final words to the feuding families, "All are punish-ed. ALL ARE PUNISH-ED!" stands as an electric moment in the film. The performances by all are terrific. Enjoy!
