In my class we fortunately got to watch an amazing movie called romeo and juliet by Baz Learman and it is definately one of my favorite things we've done in class so far this year.


Most of you should be familiar with the powerful and thundering story of a young boy named romeo who is a montegue who stumbles into love at first sight of Juliet who is a capulet, two rival families. You could see the stars in Romeo's eyes, but is this really love ? thats a question that popped up quite frequently in the story, In my opinion I believe it is, as young as they are. I believe you are never to young to fall in love , personally I think teenagers have a better perspective of what love truly is and its exactly what Romeo and Juliet had. Back in the times that Rome and Juliet were, they had to be married and have kids by a person their parents whom chose for them, they say that most of them are happily married but I don't think they love who they are married to because you can't choose who you fall in love with it just happens.


Another topic that popped up in the story was family relationships, and In my opinion they werent as close with their families as we are in our times. It seems as if the parents only talk to their children is they have to, when watching the movie I saw Juliet's mother talking to her maybe once or twice but that because she needed something from her. In Romeo's family the most we saw ere his cousins, the only time we saw his parents were after he died, but both Romeo and Juliet were both closer to their friends then they were to their family. 

I think there are many intentional details that Baz Learman made in this movie that made it as amazing as it was I think the best one was probably when the letter was being sent to Romeo about Juliet faking her death so that her and Romeo can finally be together in peace, That Romeo was leaving because he thought she had died and just missed the mail man. Also another was the fish in the tanks they were the montegue and capulet colors and I think it symbolizes that since the fish tank was in between them that it means that the montegue's and the capulets will try and keep them apart.
