of the characters, a question of why this had to

Romeo And Juliet Modern Times
377 words
Romeo and Juliet In my opinion, the modern version
of Romeo and Juliet directed by Baz Luhrmann can

good movie. The directors intentions seemed to try
to take the original Romeo and Juliet and place
them in modern times. Guns were used instead of
swords and cars were used as transportation. The
language however was not changed to modern times
