For the uninitiated, Romeo and Juliet tells the tale of two teenage lovers who clandestinely fall for each other and marry stealthily. Their families, the Montague's and Capulets, have been fierce rivals for decades, break out in violence as they learn about the wedding. Ultimately, their efforts prove futile in front of the raging anger of the families. Their love is damned when Romeo incorrectly learns that Juliet is dead. In haste, he poisons himself. But when Juliet learns about the incident, she too commits suicide. A waste of love and two lives. A great movie to catch up with your beloved for some amazing fusion of Shakespearean English and modernity.
