Review3: Romeo + Juliet

 
Today, I watched “Romeo + Juliet”. This story is based on Romeo and Juliet written by William Shakespeare and it is modern version. I have heard the story about Romeo and Juliet, but I have never read the original written by Shakespeare. Also, Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio acted as Romeo. In this movie, DiCaprio was very young and handsome, so I was fascinated by him. The contents are as follows.

In Verona Beach, there are two mafias that have extensive authority. Those are the Capulets and the Montagues. They are rivals and often fight. Each of those families have one child. There is a daughter in the Capulets. Her name is Juliet. There is a son in the Montagues. His name is Romeo. Both children have never met each other before a party.

At this time, Romeo had a crush on Rosaline. On the other hand, Juliet was suffering from unwanted marriage proposals. One day, the Capulets held a party and Romeo joined the party with his friends. At there, he fell in love with Juliet at first sight. By his enterprise, they came to be in love. However, they didn’t know they were from rival families. It was a big obstruction for them. But, because they both loved deeply, they married at the church. After that, because of their loving, her cousin killed his best friend. He was very angry about that and killed her cousin. By this crime, Romeo was banished from their country. Romeo and Juliet felt so sad. Then, Romeo took consul with Catholic priest and decided to go another country. After that, Juliet’s father asked Juliet to marry another person strongly. But, her answer was “no”. Her parents tried to abandon her if she refuses to obey her parents, so she asked for help tfromo Catholic priest. Catholic priest gave her a sleeping pill and asked her to play dead. Unfortunately, her false news (she was dead) was told to Romeo. Romeo became very sad and decided to die next to Juliet. He went to church and said good-bye to Juliet. After that, he drunk a poison. At that time, Juliet woke up and saw him. After she saw he was dead, she shot herself and was dead next to him. A small trouble of families caused this tragedy. This story is a one of the biggest tragedy.

In this story, too many things are going wrong. But, these may their (Romeo and Juliet) destiny, I thought.
