movie review

Romeo and Juliet
13107202 Misora Arima

I watched Romeo and Juliet directed by Baz Luhrman. The original author is Shakespeare so the lines are very difficult and amazing. Most of lines are figurative expressions. Characters spoke in a roundabout way but they were romantic lines. I especially like Juliet’s lines. She said “I shall say good night till it be tomorrow.” How beautiful!
Romeo and Juliet was a tragic story. They loved each other but it was an impossible love. Romeo was a rash and impatient boy. When Romeo broke into Juliet’s house, luckily, he wasn’t found out. I thought that he behaved without considering the consequences. If Romeo has the ability to judge coolly, the terrible accident may have not happened. Juliet came from a good family so she seemed to live happily, but she felt lonely because her parents didn’t worry about her. Her nurse alone was anxious and stood by her. I thought that Juliet yearned for Romeo who had many friends and enjoyed his selfish life. Their love didn’t come true. And what was even worse, crossing a father’s latter [JT1] caused miserable accident. So Romeo took a drug then he dead and Juliet shot herself fatally with a pistol.
This is a very sad movie. Romeo and Juliet both died for their families’ troubles. I was filled with heartrending sorrow. At the end of the movie, a policeman said “This is a punishment for a family feud.” I thought so too, two families were stubborn about little things then drove their only children to suicide. I thought that the same goes for nations which quarrel and create tragedies. (264)
