Reading the play leads the reader to expect a passionate story of star-crossed lovers who were never meant to be together. Romeo and Juliet as written by Shakespeare is a romantic tragedy centered on the love between two teenagers, Juliet Capulet and Romeo Montague, who come from rival families in Renaissance, Verona Italy. It can be argued that while the explanation of Romeo and Juliet is new and modern, the tragic story of family feuds, conflict and star-crossed lovers reflects the spirit of Shakespeare’s work even if the modern Verona and the Renaissance Verona do not look similar to each other. While critical praise has been strong there have been many questions about whether or not the hype of the movie lives up to what viewers has come to expect from the play itself. Reviewers have argued that this film brings Shakespeare’s work into the 20th century and helps a new generation of film to relate to the works of William Shakespeare. In the film Romeo and Juliet, director Baz Luhrman offers a modern re-telling of one of Shakespeare’s most well known plays Romeo and Juliet.
