Opinion about the Romeo and Juliet 1968 Movie
Romeo and Juliet is a famous play written by Shakespeare. Like any other famous play, Romeo and Juliet was also adapted in a cinematic version. It was directed by Zeffirelli in 1968, and it became a very successful film.
In my opinion, how they were able to project the movie is really good. I say that the movie has excellent and convincing actors in it. As for the props and costumes, they look very realistic. So now, I would like to comment on what I think about the movie.
Firstly, as I have said before, the actors and actresses portrayed their characters really well. They were able to act them out convincingly as if they were really the characters in the play. For instance, when Juliet is begging to the enrage Capulet about her arranged marriage, the actress’s performance shows the audience that the character is truly miserable not just by the language used, but also by her actions and emotions. Although in some parts, the actors tend to overdo the acting, the outcome is still very good. Also, some parts such as the death scenes of the characters, particularly Romeo and Juliet’s death in the crypt; the characters’ breathing can be made out – which is really ironic, because they shouldn’t be breathing because they’re dead. But either way, their act is still believable.
