DramaRomance

I didn't fell in love with it at first sight (ahah!) but it grew on me and now I love it and need to watch it everytime I see it on TV. Love every bit of it, the actors, the original words by Shakespeare even if the setting is the 90's, the soundtrack. Boy, how I love the soundtrack.

FANTASTIC adaptation. Love everything about it; the music, the score, the modernizing, the performances, the machine-gun editing, the use of Elizabethan language. Instantly fell in love with Baz Luhrmann after this. Too bad he never quite lived up to this again, for me...

I don't care for the story of Romeo and Juliet, I don't care for romantic dramas... Both these factors + it being made in 1996, somewhat amateurly, meant that I only kept watching for Leo. (Who looks heavenly and acts of course, perfectly) The mixing of modern day (1996) culture made for a refreshing and easier watch and there were times when I was reeled in, but struggled to keep focused. If you like romantic dramas I'm sure you'll like it a lot more than me and it's a 'must watch' whether you enjoy the film or not.
