MR2:05 Romeo and Juliet

I had known the original story of Romeo and Juliet. I like the works of William Shakespeare, especially, I like this work. I think Romeo and Juliet is popular among girls. I recently watched a music video, and the setting of Romeo and Juliet was used. The hero and heroine was born in the exalted families, and fall in love each other, but it is a forbidden love. Then, they die together unfortunately. It’s a romantic and tragic story. This story is loved by a lot of girls around the world throughout the eras.

 

I had never watched the new one. I had thought I want to watch this movie. I like Leonardo DiCaprio, too. I had an image that he plays romantic characters, so I had thought this movie is so romantic. In fact, this movie is indeed one of the romantic stories, but is different from the one which I had imagined. Their families are on bad teams. It is the same as the original story. However, the fighting people are not their parents but their minion gangs, and they fight with violence. It is not romantic. The era and country are also different. I think it is good. There is a Brazilian Town, a beach, and their house. They are so beautiful. Their forbidden and romantic story is also good. My most favorite scene is the scene of their first meeting at the party. It is like the scenes of Titanic.

 

This story looks to be finished with tragedy, but I don’t think so. I lost romantic feelings to this story from a scene. It is the scene where Romeo kills Juliet’s cousin, Tibalt. Romeo tries to get along with Tibalt because Romeo wants to be get along with Juliet’s family. However, Tibalt kills Romeo’s minion and friend, Mercutio, so Romeo kills Tibalt from his rebellious feeling. After Romeo kills Tibalt, he is worried, but he goes Juliet’s house, and enjoy their time. I felt it is bad. I thought he is not a cool hero. At the end, they die the same as the original story. In the original story, I like this tragic scene, and feel sad for them, but I wasn’t impressed so much. I like the original story better than this story.
