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 given by Shakespeare, which is better than the separation of yin and yang. The scenes and atmosphere in the film describing the two people in love are really beautiful, including when the two died in the church.
Regarding the setting of the modern background in the play, I think it is slightly inconsistent, not because of the old English lines, but mainly because it is not suitable for the exaggerated character setting (although the contrast is ironic). There's a crazy dance party in the movie, the over-the-top flamboyance and the crazy people that make people feel funny.
There is also a very pleasant surprise that a lot of background music in the play is really good.
I also found that skam paid so much tribute to this film.
