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.
