Directed by Carlo Carlei
Released date: 1968

The “Romeo and Juliet” film was directed by Carlo Carlei. The film was first published in 1 April 2007, but it was first released in 1968. It was set in Verona, Italy. The first half of Romeo and Juliet with its bawdy jokes, masked ball and love poetry is more like a Shakespeare comedy than a tragedy. Mercutio, Romeo's quick-tempered, witty friend, links the comic and violent action of the play. Shakespeare's audience referred to going to hear a play and see it, emphasizing that the Elizabethan theatre was an aural rather than visual experience.

 


The plot of Romeo and Juliet is full of action while presenting a simple story with adventurous that will shock you. It has been a long time since the novel of Romeo and Juliet released, but it is still relevant today and it’s the most popular story in the world with lots of viewer for the tragedy of the previuos film. When the Monatgues family member fall in love with the Capulet’s daughter, (Juliet) hit the scene hell- bent on ruined of life of teenagers, but Romeo must rise and trying to never give up to love someone from doing suicides to save the one he loves the most. While doing it, he must have to deal with Lord Capulet and Lady Capulet that they both wants to marry each other to settle down the peace between the two families, Monatgues and Capulets as well as they are serious about their relationship. The film is about cruel love, fightings and suffering. An elegance scene is an act of terrorism carried out byTyblat where he wants to challenge Romeo in a duel. Slow motion against the pain of violence and the destruction of the play around the scene that could help viewers but AWE.


In the film, the performance of Romeo and Juliet are serious and perfect. Romeo play by Douglas Booth and Juliet play by Hailee Steinfeld are able to present us a version of Romeo and Juliet who suffers from being in love in such  a young ages.  Throughout the film, Hailee Steinfeld does well-acted to show us the struggle of her life and Romeo as well for being fall in love with Juliet, and by the end, their love life didn’t go well, they both die from trying to save each other. Lord capulet was play by Damian Lewis. He was well-acted and impressive. He was able to present us a version of being a bad father that doesn’t want to support his daughter but want to ruin it by forcing to marry Count Paris. The actors provides the audience with a silce of pure love. In all the performance of actors is nothing short of masterful.


One of the most powerful and wonderful things about the film is its visual appearance. Its use of language and imagery captures the essence of the original work. However, the soundtrack is a little cheesy, and the movie features some wacky costume designs. A highly accessible version of the classic love story set in a contemporary Miami-like Verona. Amazing musical numbers, stunning set design, and wonderful acting set this version of Romeo and Juliet apart. You won't even notice that all the dialog in the movie is spoken in Shakespeare's original verse.


Romeo and Juliet’s film must be watch. Out of every romantic film, this film surely the top. The film wasn’t ended in a good ending, but you will learn everything from the film if you watch this. The story is filled of romantic, funny sometimes and emotional. The performance of Romeo and Juliet are memorable. The film also looks great. While many people will be sad at the end of the film. This film brought tears to my eyes at the end of the film.  Although the film is a little bit boring, but it is a great and wonderful story for teenagers. Don’t be missed!!!
