Romeo and Juliet - The photo         The new release of Romeo and Juliet  is fun, fast and exciting to watch. It is a slick cinematic rendition of Shakespeares work brought to the screen for modern-day movie-goers.  There is something for everyone in this movie.  A timeless romance, a dynamic cast, a hip soundtrack, great sets and costumes and smokestack of action.  From the beginning the consultation is told, buckle up, this Romeo and Juliet  ride is going to be handle no other Shakespeare youve ever ridden.  This movie supports the notion that the stage is an actors middling and the cinema is the directors.  Romeo and Juliet  is a feast for the eyes and does a great lineage of engaging the audience with the story at all times by dint of various cinematic techniques and tricks which make understanding Shakespeare fun, interesting, fresh and easy.        Visually dynamic, and alter with a sense of urgency, almost movie-goers will get caught up in the story and forget that they are listening to the Bard.  It is Shakespeares lyric poem and text, however, the sights and sounds are as all the way, possibly overshadowing, telling the same parallel story.  One could say that in that respect are visually emotional subtitles throughout the movie directing the audience to understand and engage in the most famous love story in an entirely new way.  One can argue that this sport of Romeo and Juliet  would be understood even without spoken words.  The camera-work tells the story as clearly as the text.  There are very few moments in this movie when the camera stops moving.  Like Oliver Stones Natural Born Killers  the editing is harsh and in your face.  There is little time to think as the eonian images flash across the screen.  And it works.  You become entranced and cannot wait to see what happens succeeding(pre nominal) even if you are already familiar with the story.  It feels new.         Like many contemporary Shakespeare productions, the text has been slightly edited but this does nothing to dilute the story.  The dialogue, for the most part, is not delivered by master thespians, rather, we hear contemporary film actors delivering the Bards words as though this were present day English in innovative York or Los Angeles.
