romeo and juliet 1996 hd download torrent

Leonardo DiCaprio is far from a favorite of mine but he did a decent job here as Romeo, as did Claire Danes as Juliet. I don't know if that was in the original play but I thought that scene was hilarious. I got the biggest kick out of the Montagues 'biting their thumbs' at the Capulets. Shakespearean dialog in the hands of these hip-hop oriented thespians sounds oddly anachronistic, but serves well, especially during the comedic moments. It seemed kind of senseless, and appeared to be almost ethnic in nature, something I don't think will ever be overcome by people who see others as different from themselves. The only thing is, it's never really mentioned what started the feud off in the first place. The modern day updating has a weird sensibility to it, pitting two warring families against each other - the Montagues and the Capulets. I actually had a pretty good time with this flick and I'm not really a Shakespeare buff. But can you picture the love struck couples who went to see this in the theater when it was originally released? I can just imagine the weeping that occurred at the end of the story, teenage girls clutching their boyfriends' arms in shocked and swollen grief. The passage of time has not been kind to this film as far as IMDb's rating system goes. Reviewed by classicsoncall 8 / 10 'These times of woe afford no time to woo.' But although it is set in modern times, it is still the same timeless story of the 'star crossed lovers'. There are obstacles on the way, like Juliet's cousin, Tybalt, and Romeo's friend Mercutio, and many fights. They have to hide their love from the world because they know that their parents will not allow them to be together. The Montagues and Capulets are two feuding families, whose children meet and fall in love. The classic story of Romeo and Juliet, set in a modern-day city of Verona Beach.
