Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo & Juliet"

Truly one of the greatest love stories of all time, and also one of the saddest. Baz Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet is definitely one of the greatest films of our times. A touching story originally told by William Shakespeare that is an amazing story of young love and despair. It takes the audience on such a dramatic roller-coaster ride of emotions that flow from the screen to us. Love is a beautiful thing. It is …

…e same sort of stories as Romeo and Juliet, I'm sure would occur. But today's gangs are not based on family pride as with the Montagues and Capulets in Romeo & Juliet, but the more modern gang-fighting occurs between different races, or ethnic backgrounds. Love cannot survive in hostile circumstances, where there may be too much drugs, sex, violence and illegal activity. Love needs to settle down and find its place in each of us.
