About this movie

Directed by Academy Award nominee Baz Luhrman (Moulin Rouge), this adaption of the classic Shakespearean play is passionate, visceral, sexy, violent, and other-worldly. Set in the mythical city of Verona Beach, the Montague's and Capulet's are two feuding families whose children meet and fall in love. Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Juliet (Claire Danes) must hide their love from the world... but with tragic consequences.

It seems a lot of women are a sickler and will not do something because for lust. It seems these people believe they are rich but are snobs, and the boss will NOT pay all these people. She did NOT do things lust for the flesh and why do the bosses like these people if there is a ransom for their life? Sore at the snob women have been, I also want some of the ransom money

One of the worst adaptations of a Shakespearean play I have ever seen. The first time I saw this I felt utterly insulted as I am a big fan of Shakespeare. I felt that the entire cast were miscast and that the story did not need a modern update. After this movie I stayed away from Leonardo's movies for a while. Never watched it again.
