In the 1968 version, we see that sometimes simplicity is the best. It followed the play flawlessly (except for a few details, like Romeo killing Paris in the monument), and the chemistry was perfect! Whiting and Hussey were great for their roles, and I could see the passion all the way through. Left me teary-eyed and with a much firmer understanding of Shakespeare's theme of teenage love at first sight. One of my favourite movies of all time!
The modern one was too modern-cars, guns, petrol, ecstacy, the lovers falling in the pool, the elevator, girls in bikinis...
I still love you, Leonardo! Don't hate me for my verdict!
