Sahkespear

Hello. My name is Natsumi Ito. I would like to post about Shakespeare. After Shakespeare's class, i remembered a movie,"Romeo + Juliet" in 1996. This movie got attention because Leonardo DiCaprio was stared in. The story of "Romeo + Juliet" is not same with original. It takes place in modern world and guns are used instead of swords. "Romeo + Juliet" follow the original in main story but it is really modern version story.I researched about Romeo and Juliet movie. There are 7 Romeo and Juliet movies and the first one was made in 1900.Next one was 1908,1936,1956,1968,1990 and 1996. Each movies are different in detail from other movies and the original.I think the 1968 one is most famous. It won Academy Awards for Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design. It was also nominated for Best Director and Best Picture.I have not watched it yet, so I want to watch!!Romeo and Juliet was written over 400 years ago. However, people love it and make movies. I really think Shakespeare is great writer. Thanks.
