I love 'Romeo and Juliet'! What an amazing movie! The movie is based on a play written by William Shakespeare and it is just so true to the original play.
Two households, Montagues and Capulets are sworn enemies, this is interesting but what interests me more is that Romeo (a Montague) and Juliet (a Capulet) fall in love! And here they played it very well!
The costumes amaze me, the art direction too, the cast is brilliant (Leonard Whiting, Olivia Hussey, John McEnery, Milo O'Shea, Pat Heywood, Robert Stephens, Michael York, Bruce Robinson) and (especially) the dialogue is very very much like the original play!
Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey really shine as the main characters! They're a great screen couple and outshine the supporting cast
Now I've seen 'Romeo + Juliet' but it's not as good as this! The timeless classic 'Romeo and Juliet' is much better! This movie is much more true to the play and it's because 'Romeo + Juliet' is a modernization!
So 'Romeo and Juliet' is one of the best movies ever made and my review explains all the reasons (well most of them) that I love this movie!
10/10
