This is the most famous and saddest love story in the world, and this movie has been remade with a modern setting. Romeo is played by Leonard DiCaprio who is the most beautiful and sexiest man in the world, and Juliet is played by Claire Danes who is a very charming lady. They show us the beautiful and sad story.
This story is set in the present day, but almost of the story line is faithful to the original written by Shakespeare, for example, the name of the characters, the environment around them and the sorrowful ending.
This movie expresses the wall of Romeo and Juliet tactfully. First, their famous first meeting at the party was through an aquarium. Second, their secret meeting which is a famous balcony scene in the original also has an obstacle. The water in the pool obstructed their words and even their breath. Both scenes look so beautiful and dreamy like a fairy tale. But there are always high walls behind their pure and passionate love. That point makes us so sad, but we can feel delicate evanescence at the same time from these scenes and the characters themselves. So, I like these scenes though I feel so distressed watching them.
The ending of this movie made me so sad that I was crying. Though I've read the original and watched the movie with another cast before, I felt so sad and like to cry again. The reason is this movie was remade in a modern setting. So, I felt this movie was familiar. But there are many points remind us of the original, for example their romantic words and the passionate love between them. If Romeo and Juliet were acted by other less famous people, their romantic words would still stand out in this movie. They become beautiful and humane when they play the roles of Romeo and Juliet, that is exactly why this movie charms so many people including me!
