Romeo and Juliet is a great tragedy/love story but the modern day version of it is really weird!! The new one starring Leonardo DiCaprio is so different!! I mean they use guns instead of swords and wear the modern day clothes...but still talk in the old text...I thought it was pretty strange. Right before the ball scene Mercutio shows up and does his Queen Mab speech...but he was dressed in women's clothing not to mention there wasn't much of the clothing there! If you didn't noticed he had an Afro on and lots of makeup! That is really strange...but I thought he was a funny character but they portray him so differently in both of the movies! What do you think?

Yeah I totally agree with you!! Mercutio was really scary looking in the new movie. This totally made me change my view of him. I like the old movie a lot better because it is a whole lot more beliveveable. I feel the new movie is kind of making fun of the play because it is all modern except for thier talking.
Yes I agree the newer movie was really strange! The way that the characters dressed and acted and then they talked using the old words. Very strange but I guess I liked it.
