I have loved this movie since it came out and I continue to love it today. First of all, the music/ soundtracks are perfect.
The acting is phenomenal. There are multiple times in this movie that I will cry every single time. Clare Danes has this chin quiver thing that happens when she cries and it stabs me in the heart each time. Leonardo Dicaprio is stunning to watch and Harold Perrineau is a wonderful Mercutio.
This movie is not everyone's taste. It's set in modern times but spoken in Shakespearian English. Luhrmann films are quite unique and this is my favorite of them all.
