It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night...For I ne’er saw true beauty till this night.” This means she light up everyone’s mood and day, it means she is dark and mysterious and it means she is beautiful. This clearly shows his love for Juliet, because he described her as “true beauty”, and “true beauty” is obviously a good thing, meaning Romeo loves her.

By changing the context, Luhrmann effectively makes the play relevant, discussing his contextual concerns of the 1990’s. This is done through the use of themes in the film, love, family disputes and hate which have remained similar to the original play, although the way they have been presented are different, in particular the form and characters.
