Both movies use Shakespeare speech, but I find the modern
version one use more quotes from the play than the old version. The old version
is more accurate, with swords and the entire theme put out right. The new
version is weird, however, because it is set in modern time of two different
gangs. The setting was changed to a gas station instead of the old market. And the
weapons changed to guns instead of sword, and the Head of police replaced the
prince. What is really stupid about the modern movie is that when they draw
their gun, they called the gun sword, which is kind of dumb. And if people want
to make a modern version of Romeo and Juliet, they should have at least
bothered to use modern language. I try to like the modern parody of Romeo and Juliet,
but I failed to do so, and I think its ridiculous and boring. It just seems so bizarre
and everything just seemed so fake because no one would speak like that. And I think
the old movies’ Juliet was prettier than the new movie’s. i also find the black guy in bikini quite frightening and weird.
