Review: This film does an excellent job of combining imaging withmodern Shakespearean dialogue. Granted, I first saw this movie when it outbecause Leon, eight years later, (seven years after finishing college), I realize how well done film actually is. Luhrmann has an excellent job of making the film believable while using picturesque language. This new life in the words of Shakespeare movie brings, and even if you know the playalmost of c? Ur, it is refreshing to hear the words in a completely new context, and that makes sense. This version of Romeo and Juliet is not addsomething the long history of the piece. The soundtrack is very good, the game is appropriate (Danes and DiCaprio make a wonderful work that the young lovers), and the scenery is fabulous. This film jump started the trend of Shakespeare remakes of modern times, and I think that's the best.
