From the looks of it alone, the choice of all the actors in the film is nothing short of perfect. Not only the handsomeness and beauty of Romeo and Juliet, but the selection of other characters is also quite in place. However, perhaps because of the times, the film has little personal feeling about the film adaptation of the original drama. The feeling of watching the play through the camera is that the expressions of the actors express a layer of inner language, and at the same time, they express another layer of expression through exaggerated lines, resulting in a sense of repetition and superposition. This feeling has always been there. I understand what Shakespeare means, but really, can't score more than an 8 that I like...

Narrator: Two households, both alike in dignity / In fair Verona, where we lay our scene / From ancient grudge break to new mutiny / Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes / A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life / Whose misadventured piteous overthrows / Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
