A Star-Crossed Review of Death-Marked Love.
Today I have just finished watching the movie Romeo and Juliet, and I’d like to give my personal opinion of the movie. The movie has tons of love scenes and fights. The company Paramount Pictures published the movie in 1968. The director was Franco Zeffirelli. The plot of Romeo and Juliet is relatively simple. Romeo goes to a ball, Juliet is there, Romeo see Juliet, and he falls in love. The same night, Juliet falls in love with Romeo. The movie takes place in Verona, Italy. The main characters are Romeo and Juliet, two young lovers whose families have been feuding. The story is about the two lovers trying to be together, but their families constantly get in the way.
For the most part, the actors did fairly well. I especially enjoyed the performance of Romeo, played by Leonard Whiting. He brought Romeo to life but not in an overly exaggerated way. Juliet, played by Olivia Hussey, also did a decent job. However, when it came to trying scenes, she did that same crying voice and pose. It got repetitive towards the end and killed the moments that were supposed to be heart wrenching. The Nurse and Priest did an excellent job, but I expected that from veteran actors.

Not because it’s a bad production, it’s actually fairly good for its age, but because I just don’t have anybody I know who would enjoy watching the movie. The MPAA rating for Romeo and Juliet is PG. I don’t agree with that rating myself. I think it should be PG-13, for a couple of reasons. One, there’s that mild nudity scene that we skipped over, the multiple deaths, and lastly two people commit suicide over each other! That is not a great message to send to kids! With PG-13, at least kids in that age bracket would know that committing suicide over a five day romance is a dumb idea. Also that you don’t actually have to be married and have a kid by the age of

The story is centered around a feud between two families, the Montagues, Romeo’s family, and Capulets, Juliet’s family.
First of all, it made it a great movie because the director did not forgot to use Shakespeare’s lines on his play. After the party on Capulet’s mansion Romeo sneaks into Juliet’s orchard and see her come out from her balcony and say the famous line of the play of ‘em all “O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name! Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet” (33-36). This shows that even though how modern time is when you start to act Shakespeare’s play with great actors, the movie will always have a good outcome. This is because it is very important to use his lines in able to feel the ambiance

lets say ‘enthusiastic’.. when Romeo emerged from the bed in nothing but boxer briefs and a t-shirt.) But other than that once, the actors were very professional and well put together, however two stood out in particular. Both the Nurse and Mercutio went beyond just acting the lines. One could almost believe that they lived them. Mercutio was so true to character it was hard to believe the actor was a real person, such enthusiasm, so much energy, all in all an amazing visage of the manic friend to Romeo. The Nurse was a hilarious bigger black lady who felt like something straight out of a new orleans home. Very soulful acting and the way she used her movements and expressions to give new meaning to the lines was extremely entertaining. All the actors did very well on the stage, but those two stood out in particular, the comic relief but also very important to the plot. The whole play was extremely refreshing to watch and it was a good way to get younger viewers to understand and take interest in the story of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. I would definitely recommend to any viewer of any
