To be honest, this is one of the works about Shakespeare that I am most familiar with. This story tells the story of two opposing families, the family headed by Juliet's father and the family headed by Romeo's father fighting against each other. Because Romeo participated in the fancy dress ball held by Juliet's father and met Juliet at the ball, the two fell in love at first sight. Romeo sneaked into Juliet's backyard after the ball to meet Juliet. Then with the help of the priest, the two married secretly. Later, because Romeo killed Juliet's cousin, he was expelled. But at this time Juliet's father wants to marry Juliet to a young man she doesn't love. Under the priest's plan, Juliet pretended to take poison to commit suicide, but the priest's letter failed to be delivered to Romeo. Romeo received the bad news and rushed to the church. When Juliet woke up, Romeo had already drunk the poison, and Juliet shot and lay down with Romeo. In the end, because of the death of these two young people who were in love, the two families also awakened, shaking hands and making peace.

The movie follows the original to a large extent, and the lines are also very appropriate. Although the story is simple, it still has a different style. Moreover, the heroes and heroines in this movie can be said to be in their peak state, beautiful, handsome, and they are really eye-catching at a glance. And the acting skills of the two are also very good, worthy of praise.
