Many people think that Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet" is from the City of Verona in Italy , and she is also regarded as a symbol of beautiful love, so when she comes to City of Verona, she hopes that Juliet can protect her love. Beginning in the 1930s, influenced by George Cukor's film " Romeo and Juliet ", some men and women who believed in love but were trapped in reality began to write letters to Juliet in their hearts. After writing the letter, many people simply write "Juliet of the City of Verona" on the envelope, and the postman knows where to send the letter.
Faced with such a story that has been formed over many years, director Gary Winick believes that this is a love story that has been passed down from generation to generation. There should have been many extraordinary love stories in the middle, which gave rise to the idea of creating this film. Later, the director found the film from the music album "Letter from Juliet" by the rock musician Elvis Castro and the compilation of letters "Letter to the City of Verona, the famous heroine of Shakespeare and the driving force of love, Juliet" Source of inspiration
