Shakespeare's
Romeo & Juliet is one of the most famous plays ever written.
Over the years there have been many different play and film
adaptations. Because it has such an interesting story people have
tried to put their own twist to the story. Its not necessarily how
they change the story that makes it interesting, its the way its
portrayed and shown. There are quite a few different, but
definitely exciting versions of the greatest love story ever
written. Premiering at the Carthay Circle theatre, the first film
adaptation of Romeo and Juliet was in 1936. The reviews were
generally basic. Some critics loved the film, but altogether the
critic and public response was less than enthusiastic. Some people
recognized it as a very important contribution

The first,
released October 27, 1996, was
Romeo +
Juliet. Personally it is my favorite film adaptation of Romeo
and Juliet and it loosely relates to west side story. Its about two
rival families in a city, whos hate creates chaos for two
teenagers falling in love despite the current family commotion.
Romeo was wonderfully played by the amazing Leonardo DeCaprio and
Juliet was beautifully portrayed by Claire Danes. It was directed
by Baz Luhrmann who brought a very elaborate, fast paced, and eye
popping version of the greatest love story of all time. The critics
loved it and so did America because it brought in over 46.3 million
dollars in box office profits. The next film, Tromeo and Juliet,
released February 28, 1997 was a very loose adaptation of Romeo and
Juliet. It can only be described as sexual, violent, eye closing,
and BOLD in so many ways. Set in Manhattan it follows Tromeo of the
Ques and Juliet of the Capulets. Both have horrible abusive
families who's strife leads Juliet to buy a potion that turns her
into a cow monster, but is returned to normal when Tromeo kisses
her. They later find out that they are siblings, but does not let
that stop their love for each other. Despite the mutilation, sex,
and incest the film received generally positive
