Title: Fast-paced, Updated Version of Romeo & Juliet
Review: I first saw this film when I was a Junior in high school. I had never been interested in Shakespeare before, but after seeing this movie, I became a Shakespeare addict. I have thank Baz Luhrman for his innovative way of using camera techniques, objects, and actors to update this tragedy.Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes did great jobs of playing the star-crossed lovers who ultimately lose their lives for love.I love this updated version because it allows you to better understand the sometimes difficult language that Shakespeare used in his plays. While the look of the film is very updated, the language is still the same.I would highly recommend this film to people who are unsure about Shakespeare because they think it's too hard to understand. After watching this film you'll understand the story better than you ever had before and may even become a huge Shakespeare fan while you're at it!
