Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet: Movie Review
Romeo + Juliet Film review
The film “Romeo + Juliet” was released in 1996, with Baz Luhrman as director. This is one of the most famous love plays written by Shakespeare, screenplay was by Craig Pearce. Romeo and Juliet is a film about forbidden love and how tragic love can end. The film was shot in Miami, but most of all in Mexico. The main actors are Leonardo DiCaprio as Romeo and Claire Danes as Juliet.
Romeo and Juliet is about two teenagers that fall madly and deeply in love in Verona, italy, it takes place in the present time. Romeo is an 18 years old, poor rebel and son of the Montague family. He has chestnut hair, soft olive skin, charming blue eyes and a determined but kind mind. Juliet is an 18 years old, rich daughter of the Capulets. Juliet has long dark hair, gorgeous green eyes and clear pearl skin. She doesn’t like being pushed into doing things she cant decide for herself. Juliet loves Romeo and vise versa. As if it weren’t enough problems with relationships at a young age, their families were great enemies. This makes it physically impossible to for them to be together. This particular film is a renewed version of the actual story written by Shakespeare. Therefore you can relate a bit more to the actors actions and drama. Romeo is a smart guy, and come up with some clever ideas for the two of them to meet. In one of his last attempts to end the “war” between their families, something goes totally wrong and destroys their chances forever.
The music and sound was made and set by Nellee Hooper. The sound effects were really intense and aggressive, but that only made the story come more to life. The way they talked was extremely special, it set the mood of Shakespeare’s originality and realness.
The message the film wanted to give was that you should always follow what you want. Forbidden love is possible to make just love, you just have to fight with everything you have. When teenagers get determined about something they do not forget it
