ROMEO AND JULIET
Romeo and Juliet is a story of two powerful rivals families, the Montague and Capulets.
Romeo is the son of the house of Montague and Juliet is the daughter of the house of Capulet. The Capulets cause most of the trouble in Verona. They are the most daring gang. They don’t stop until they are stopped or they are killed.
The Montagues are the most relaxed family. They try to avoid confrontations at all cost. They only fight to escape or they are forced into it.
This film is directed by Baz Luhrmann in 1997. It was set in Mexico instead of Verona because Mexico has more of the characteristics described In the original play in Verona. They didn’t use Verona because now a days it is full of towns, lots of cars and factories, but in Mexico it has hardly ant cars and it has old churches and real life gangs. Baz Luhramm chose Leonardo Di Caprio to play romeo and Claire Danes to play Juliet. I think Baz Luhrmann chose them because they are young and famous. This makes it easier for people to relate to them. He uses modern technology to make they film more enjoyable for a young audience.
