There are two families which conflict each other; the House of Capulet and the House of Montague. The two families have had a bad relationship for a long time. They make troubles everyday and finally are said if they fight and make any trouble again, both of them are going to be arrested and punished.
Romeo, the only son of the Montagues, is in love with Juliet, who is the only daughter of the Capulets. Even though Romeo and Juliet are not supposed to be friends, they are in love. That is, of course, not allowed so Romeo tries to ask Friar Laurence if he has any ideas to solve this problem. Friar Laurence thinks that their love could solve the problem between the Montague and the Capulet. Therefore they get married in a church with Friar Laurence and the nurse. However, Romeo kills Juliet’s cousin, Tybalt, because Tybalt kills Romeo’s best friend, Mercutio. That makes Juliet really shocked because she likes her cousin so much. Because of the trouble Romeo has to go away from the town. Then Juliet’s parents make her marry the prince and she pretends that she will marry the prince.
However, her thought is different. She has a plan that she will take a poison before the wedding ceremony and pretend to die, and then come back to life in 24 hours later. Actually that is Friar Laurence’s idea and he sends a letter to Romeo to inform him about the plan. Unfortunately he doesn’t receive the letter and thinks Juliet is dead so he gulps down poison next to Juliet’s body. As soon as Romeo drinks poison, Juliet opens her eyes, but it is too late. Romeo is dead and Juliet kills herself with Romeo’s gun.
I have seen that movie before so I knew the story, but the era they are in is different so it seemed like I was watching a different movie. They have guns, use cars, and wear aloha shirts. I believe the existence of guns and cars are big differences because Mercutio is killed by a gun and Romeo kills Tybalt with a car. In the one I have seen before, swords are the only weapon. (367)
