#DOWNLOAD ROMEO AND JULIET LEONARDO DICAPRIO FULL MOVIE MOVIE#
Romeo gunning down Tybalt.) I still loved this movie and I’ve reccomended it to most of my friends who also loved it. It also had violence which wasn’t extremly gory but it was still violence (eg. In the Italian city of Verona, the Montague and the Capulet families are perpetually feuding.
It’s not like he was like that through the whole movie. It also has Mercucio dressed as a woman but, that was for the costume party. They were married at the time but hey, they still didn’t have to have it in there. I think this movie is not for young children because it does have a love scene between Romeo and Juliet. the way they had the brand name or the type of gun be “sword” or “dagger”) I admit some parts were a little dumb, but I think the director and the actors all did a wonderful job. I thought that it was very creative how they stayed with the original script and still made it a modern movie version of the play.
I thought Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes did great playing Romeo and Juliet. While I appreciated very little of this excessive film, others I knew enjoyed it… why I cannot say. Is this truly a story of love, or of young lust? And why should suicide be elevated as it is in this tragic story (hopefully enough of us are familiar with this play to know the story and the ending!). When faced with this present day scenario to this age-old story, one’s perspective can be altered to see nothing more than two young teens believing that their love runs so deep they must be together forever. On the bright side, profanity is non-existent (a nice change from most Hollywood productions) and Romeo and Juliet are joined in matrimony by Friar Laurence before engaging in any passion beyond lip-locking.
Filmed in Mexico City, the crucifix or the virgin Mary are pictured in nearly every shot throughout the film. Ironically, religion overshadows the entire film. While the words to this story are the very same as those penned by Shakespeare centuries ago, we are slapped into a pseudo present day culture complete with gun-toting youth, gang warfare, cross-dressing, violence, domestic abuse, sensuality, and an overall disregard for anything sacred. The setting takes us to the surrealistic/futuristic city of “Verona Beach,” a take-off of the initial setting of Verona. With an overabundance of up-close-and-personal shots and lighting-speed camera movements, this shallow in-your-face adaptation is unique, to say the least. Her “marvellous much” and “I long to die” speeches are masterful and imbued with deep feeling.If it’s true that every generation has its version of Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet”, this one is certainly that of the MTV generation. Special credit to Danes, especially in the film’s second half, where Juliet actively matures and rebels. DiCaprio and Danes, however, speak the verse beautifully and inhabit the roles with an emotion resonant to a contemporary viewer.
I’m a huge fan of the Zeffirelli version, though it is – at least to a modern audience – slightly let down by the callow performances of Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey. Perhaps the finest element of the film though is the central performances of Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes. Review: Probably my favourite Baz Luhrmann film to date, his bold, almost hysterical, overhaul of Shakespeare’s timeless ‘Romeo and Juliet’ intuitively matches the pacy, histrionic and out of control feel of the play itself.Īll the postmodern flourishes (a Venice beach mafiosi setting and plenty of pop songs featuring throughout including Mercutio’s drag queen version of Candi Staton’s “Young Hearts Run Free”) are entirely in keeping with the spirit of the play, and I, at least, much prefer this to Luhrmann’s similar operatic productions, Moulin Rouge! and The Great Gatsby. Synopsis: Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Juliet (Claire Danes) – teenagers from rival families – fall in love, but fate, time and the hatred of their feuding relatives endanger the longevity of the relationship. Actors: Leonardo DiCaprio, Claire Danes, Pete Postlethwaite
