MCT:May 14, 2008A Shakespeare classic remake during modern times and set against the backdrop of Cali. It works. One of my favourites.

Guns? Drugs? A cross-dressing Mercutio? Only Baz Luhrman (sp) could make something like this work. A fresh, sexy and vibrant version of everyone?s favorite star-crossed lovers that caters to the 9th graders forced to read it. The language is still Old English, but spoken with American accents so it?s easier to follow. Things are definitely changed up a bit?the balcony scene takes place in a pool, there?s a twist at the end. I really like this version?makes Shakespeare fun, pretty to look at, and more understandable for the kiddies. Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes are great, but the SCREAMING is a little much at times. Very aesthetically pleasing?from the actors to the costumes to the location to the candles.

I absolutely loved how Luhrmann adapts this legendary story in to modern day settings. It works flawlessly and the contrast of the ancient shakespearien (sp?) language. The soundtrack is brilliant and the whole thing is just a masterpiece.

A great adaptation. Killer soundtracks. Very cool if you can get over Leonardo trying to be very cool.

William Shakespeare is rolling in his grave. This has got to be the most awful versions of one of the best plays in history. It was ghetto, street, inappriate, ridiculous, and insulting. All involved in making this disgrace should be sent to court and sued for taking peoples' time and money unfairly.
