Modern movie rocks!

I, for one, really like the modern-day movie. I think it's hilarious and the cinematography rocks. At the Capulet ball, the scene with Romeo screaming underwater was cool. I think Romeo and Juliet got a little too into it for just meeting each other and Mercutio was definitely drugged up, but otherwise, it's great. Oh, and Tybalt is creepy. The costumes really described the characters. Romeo's the knight in shining armor, Juliet is as beautiful as an angel, Tybalt is as angry as the devil and Mercutio is so high he dresses like a woman! Anyways, I think that if Shakespeare wasn't prepared for our modern-day crudeness and perverseness, he would have a heart-attack watching this. Otherwise, I have no idea. The guy lived five-hundred years ago! Maybe he liked horror movies, how should I know? Also, I think it's wonderfully dramatic when Romeo and Juliet find out each other's families. They look so crushed, it's so sad.

I sooooo totally agree with you!!! I LOVE the modern version! It's awesome! And they did get a little too frisky... But Mercutio is hilarious! I love it! But he scares me.... I don't really like the book or the older movie. They just don't make as much sense to me as the modern movie does. I love it also because Leo DiCaprio's in it! ♥
