Review 3 Romeo ＋ Juliet

When I watched this movie, I was surprised, because it was get in modern times. First, the Montague and Capulet are Mafia families. Second, there are the buildings and the cars in the city. Third, people have guns, but I thought that it was interesting.

After having finished watching this, I became very sad. I don't understand why Shakespeare didn't make the story have a happy ending. I wanted them to be happy. Furthermore, I hated the mail carrier in the movie, because if he had made sure he put the letter in the mailbox, they didn't die.

This is a story of tragedy. Romeo and Juliet are the pitiful people involved in a fight of both families. If they were not the Montague and Capulet, it might be happy ending. However, it would be one of the mere love stories if it were so. I think that this movie may attract a person simply because it is tragedy.

My favorite scene is where Romeo meets Juliet for the first time. When they stare over a aquarium, they are so beautiful. Also, DiCaprio is young and very cool. Claire who acts Juliet is beautiful. I was charmed by them.

When I watched the movie, I noticed something. It is that the words are old-fashioned. There were the words "O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?" that everyone knows. 

The music attracts a person, too. Especially, I like a song called "I'm Kissing You". This song plays in the scene where Romeo meets Juliet for the first time. This song matches this scene very much. Also, the music to play in the end roll arouses sadness. I felt sad by the ending, but became sadder in this music.

I became to like this movie, because story is interesting, and music is good. So I thought that this movie will be popular with many people. I want the DVD of this movie, and I'd like to watch it many times.
