      love outlives life

      The most impressive scene in the movie is probably when Juliet found out that Romeo had taken poison, she was not surprised, did not panic, did not blame him for not waiting for her letter, and did not regret it. It's the same romantic "why don't you leave some to me" "then I'll kiss your lips, and we can die together", what kind of love brings uncomplaining following and trust, yes What kind of love can make people abandon everything and die willingly. I always thought that the love in Europe...

      simple brave love

      I really feel that this film older than me has a super century charm.

      The two protagonists give me the feeling that they are pure.

      Leonardo's acting really shocked me. Whether it is the tender look when courting Juliet, or the righteous youthful spirit when avenging his brother, they are particularly charming and touching.

      Two rich families with such simple and beautiful children can face true love so directly and bravely, and can abandon all face-to-face lovers. I think...

      Incoherent, what to say

      The "gunfight" at the beginning left me completely out of the situation. This combination of modern and classical and very exaggerated character performance is in sharp contrast with the beauty of Romeo and Juliet afterward (I saw the barrage that the whole play is basically only the two of them are normal. , everyone else is a bit neurotic).

      The love between two people is a romantic feeling in this absurdity. In the end, both of them died in love. Instead, I feel that it is the mercy...

      Romeo and Juliet A five-day love story

      A five-day love story, is love at first sight impulsive, or is it the right person? A little bit - maybe regretful love can be beautiful forever if they are together, maybe Romeo and Juliet will be blessed and their passion will soon be exhausted by tea, rice, oil and salt, and then they will find out that it is the wrong person? Or is it true love that dies off passion and becomes a family member? In any case, it is better to stay in the moment of blooming forever.

      Love...

      Post-modern passion chapter, energetic in the front, warm in the back, a bit nonsensical in general, romantic sentiment is there, but some classical bitterness is gone. . However, people say it's a joke, it's good to laugh and relieve...

    The film is a classic story frame to show the love life of modern urban youth. The story is cleverly woven, exquisitely produced, and the actors perform well. It is the director Baz Ruholman's efforts to find a new way to find a modern Works in the middle ground with classical. ( "CCTV6" review )

    • [last lines]

      Anchorwoman: A glooming peace this morning with it brings. The sun for sorrow will not show his head. Go hence and have more talk of these sad things. Some shall be pardoned, and some punished. For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo.

    • Mercutio: A plague o' both your houses! They have made worms' meat of me.

    • Juliet: What sayest thou? Hast though not a word of joy? Some comfort, Nurse.
