FAke loVE

When we first started to watch Romeo and Juliet all I could think about was how dumb this movie was going to be and how the entire time they would just be talking about how much they loved each other. But as we started to watch more of the movie I realized how many deep and intentionall things that they did to make it more intresting. There were many intresting themes but I thought one stood out against the rest and that one was about love.

In the movie and the play love had to be the biggest theme there was. There were many differnt types of love. While I was watching the movie I didnt really realize it but when I read the book it said that Juliet wasnt even 14 yet. That got me thinking that even though she was 14 could her love be true love? Could they love each other as grown ups would feel for one another? And I think that if they truly love each other then they should have the same love and get married. There love was so strong that they basicly killed themselves for it. So to me of course they should get married.

One thing that I thought that they did intresting was in the first scene they started it off with a battle between that Capult and the Monteque. And what really stood out to me was how they used the colors in the battle to show how they were on different side and to show the hatred that they had for each other.

I thought that the movie was a very good interpretation of the play. This movie showed how even something that happened hundreds of years ago it could happen in our time also. And that is why I think that thi movie was so great and the play was great also.
