Romeo + Juliet

"My very favorite version of this tragedy. I saw it in the theater with a friend. By the end we both were weeping. The music, the colors the setting.. The new movement of scene... All with the bard's words. I still listen to the soundtrack to this day. This is a favorite re-watch for me when I need something to draw me in. Baz Luhrmann is a favorite of mine and this is why. This Shakespeare nerd met the wild injection of music and madness and I loved it! "

"The language is initially jarring, but once you get used to it flows pretty well. It's a pretty good adaptation all things considered, and seeing young Leo is always a joy. "

"3.5 stars for this modernization of a classic story. My number one r and j story is the 1968 Franco Zeffirelli film. This is my second choice."

"I love this movie sm the scenes are literally gorgeous #romance #tearjerker "

"I remember my high school teacher playing this and me getting pumped about a modern gangster version of Romeo and Juliet with DiCaprio."

"Not into it"

"10/10 It's not for everyone but it's definitely for me. The play is spoken word-for-word (yes that means in Shakesperian English). The cast wears Hawaiian shirts and all the swords are actually guns. It's like if Shakespeare took acid. The soundtrack is incredible, the wardrobe is great."

"Classic Shakespeare ramped up! If you like old English and are a fan of Shakespeare but enjoy looking at Leo you will like it "

"A classic and I always liked the aesthetics in this movie."

"This movie has the hip coolness of a modern drama but with Shakespeare's words. The costuming is brilliant and the acting is incredible. Definitely worth the watch....not your High School production!"
