There were two big houses in town; the Capulets and the Montagues. Both houses were fighting with each other all the time
Romeo who is the only son of the Montagues is sad because of love. He loved a women whose name is Rosaline and she was a Capulet, but the woman didn’t love him in return. One day, the Capulets held a party. They invited everyone except the Montagues but Romeo went to the party with his cousin and his friends to see Rosaline. However, Romeo met a beautiful girl and that was Juliet who is the only daughter of the Capulets…and they fell in love! He had to go back to his home though he ran away by a car and climbed the wall of the garden. They could see each other again and make an exchange of vows. Finally, they married each other unofficially at Friar Laurence’s church.
Mercutio, who is a friend of Romeo, and Tybalt who is Juliet’s cousin and is Capulet, fought again. Romeo didn’t want to fight at all because the Capulets became precious to him. He stopped both but they kept fighting, and then, Tybalt stabbed Mercutio with a fragment of glass. Mercutio was killed by Tybalt so Romeo was mad at him. Romeo was so mad so chased him by a car and avenged Mercutio’s death…Then, Romeo was banished. He went to Juliet’s house before he escaped to Mantua. They met each other again but it was their last chance to see each other.
On the other hand, Juliet’s father decided that Juliet had to marry Paris. Juliet resisted the idea a lot but thought her parents will abandon her if she resisted any more. Juliet went to Friar Laurence and asked for some help, but he couldn’t anything. She tried to kill herself…so Friar Laurence gave a remedy that makes someone seem like they are death. Before the day of the marriage, she drank the remedy and fell long time sleep. Everyone believed that she was dead. One of Romeo’s friends thought so as well and he reported the bad news to Romeo in Mantua. He couldn’t believe it. Friar Laurence sent an important letter to Romeo to report that Juliet isn’t dead, but Romeo missed the letter.
Romeo went back to his home town but he was banished already so had to escape the police. Then, he went to the church where Juliet was sleeping. He also thought she is dead and cried and talked to Juliet. Then, he drank strong poison. The next instant, Juliet woke up and saw the moment of Romeo’s death. Also she cried but found a gun. She committed suicide by herself.
There were some misunderstandings. They really loved each other but they couldn’t be happy because of the conflict between the two houses. It is unbelievable at the present day, but I was glad to see the real love on the movie.
I watched the movie two times. First, I watched it in English with Japanese subtitles. Then, I watched in English with English subtitles. I might not understand at all without Japanese subtitles. Is the movie’s English difficult? Or it is only for me? I disappointed with my English skills again.
