I thought it was totally weird that in the modern version of Romeo and Juliet the balcony scene wasn't even the balcony scene!! They were in a swimming pool! Even though it wasn't acted very well and the lines were pretty much the same...it kind of took Shakespeare's originality out! Then again that whole movie does. At least the older version of the play keeps it original and has the balcony scene! What do you think?

I think the guy was trying to keep the water theme going.
Yeah it makes sense that the director was trying to keep the water theame, I did not even think about that. But I really have to agree that that scene in the newer movie was really odd!

I agree that it defeated the originality of Shakespeare's work by having the "balcony scene" in a pool. I think Shakespeare would be offended. I mean how can you change the most famous part of the play and the most famous scene in history?
I agree with you. The newer version of the movie copletely screws up the first version. The newer movie is so wierd and I really don't get it.
