Über diesen Film

Directed by Academy Award nominee Baz Luhrman (Moulin Rouge), this adaption of the classic Shakespearean play is passionate, visceral, sexy, violent, and other-worldly. Set in the mythical city of Verona Beach, the Montague's and Capulet's are two feuding families whose children meet and fall in love. Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Juliet (Claire Danes) must hide their love from the world... but with tragic consequences.

Great film, but be warned this copy is not good, the sound is off, and the movie does not fit widescreen, its to enlarged from the original copy, takes away the cinema feel, if you truly want to enjoy this film, get blue-ray, wish google could have uploaded a better version of the movie, also the colour is to bright, so hopefully they will decide to update there libary with a better version of the film

Dazzling!!!! Very well acted, beautifully portrayed of Shakespeares love between two people, caught up in a war of two families, his Romeo and hers Juliet...the Montague and Capulets...too busy fighting each other, not realising love blossomed and ended i the most tragic of ways....

I feel like it tried too hard to be in a modern setting. Parts of the story that didn't make sense in a modern setting were made worse. Imagine Othello in a modern setting. It would be terrible and that's why I feel like it's OK.
