Romeo And Juliet Response

When we  started this unit i did not expect to drawn  in with modern  scenery modern clothes and situations that happen every day. I expected to see a whole bunch of mid evil streets with plague riddled homeless people wandering the streets, where laws would have people killed and or abused. The words may not have matched their actions too well but the actors but the actors compensated  for it the conviction in their voices.
  when i saw the trailer i got interested  because it seamed like a action-type movie that could be very engaging. Gun fights helicopter chases hostages held at gunpoint this was the real world as it is to day not as it was hundreds of years ago. While at some points the language could not convey the message of or complex scenes the scenery had all the words matched out.When they traveled and spoke the scenery matched the mood in soft caring moments natural light filtered in and the cameras  zoomed in on the characters. In fight scenes the scenery turned rough and jagged just as the emotion  that are free flowing especially when Tybalt killed Meccucio. The setting was so real and vibrant that one the makeup specialist was kidnapped by gangsters and and had to be ransomed back.
 I think that Lurhman made it a more modernized version because the original was un-relatable and since Shakespeare is used as a sonnet study for schools full of teenagers that want action and  realistic things that they would know about. his choice of cast  was very well done. Leonardo Decaprio and Clair Danes  Made  the last scene a thing that provoked many emotions  of anger and sadness. The fact that she could not react quick enough to prevent Leonardo from drinking the poison brought anger but the fact that she regreted  no being able to stop him enough to kill herself.
     The bond the formed lasted the rest of their short lives kept the different poles of their family magnets grinding together until one had to break. only the loss of what their families treasured most could  defog their minds of the meaningless hatred.
