William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

I’m going to write William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. This movie was released 1996. I think the William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is one of the best movies I have ever seen, because I like beautiful scenes and moving story. This movie main story comes from Shakespeare famous tragedy Romeo and Juliet. Compared with other movies about the story about Romeo and Juliet, the director adapts the story and make it happens in modern life. In this movie, where tragedy happens been changed to an unreal city and weapons people using been turned to gun. Also the feud between two families turns into battle between companies, so this movie can reflect the current of modern feeling. Although the director changes a lot, he still reserved the key plot and the conversations, that the changes don't affect the moving story and the performance of the cast.

I like this movie very much not only, because I like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, but also attracted by the movie's modern background. I like the scene when Romeo and Juliet meet first time in a banquet, where they see each other through a fish tank coincidently. Romeo wears knight outfit and Juliet wear angel wings, with the slow music and soft light; their first meeting is very attractive and well. They soon attracted by each other and kiss in the elevator briefly to break away from other people's interference. Both the actor and the actress perform very well in that scene and convey their love by eye’s contact, gestures, and dances. Especially the actress, she successfully played a role of beautiful, naive fourteen years girl’s, who had never experienced true love. Her good acting could be found easily in this movie, such as the scene when she found Romeo had dead, she showed her deep love with him. The scene moves me so deeply.

This story performing an in modern life, but use the conversation written many hundred years before is not an easy job. I'm surprised that director and the cast could combine them so well. William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet is so good that I want to watch it again and again. Also I want to recommend this movie all of my friends.
