Product: Romeo and Juliet [Region 2] (1968)
Rating: 5.0
The BEST EVER production of Romeo and Juliet
This production of the legendary Shakespeare play is the best out there. Many other productions are just crap because the actors have no feeling in their lines or it just doesn't seem right. I saw this film a few weeks ago in my reading class. Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting portray the star crossed lovers beautifully. The lines are said with feeling and meaning, just the way Shakespeare would have wanted. The actors chosen to portray all the characters are so believeable you would think the characters they portray are who they really are. None of the lines are screwed up, I would know because prior to seeing this play, my class also read it. The location the film is shot also looks they way it would during the time this was set at, as does the clothing. Overall, the amazing location, wonderful character portrayal, and believable actors tie together to make this the AWESOMEST Shakespearean tragedy film EVER. Oh, and you may not have guessed from most of my review, but I'm only 13 years old.
