Romeo + Juliet (1996) - Star-crossed Lovers Scene (2/5) | Movieclips

BUY THE MOVIE:

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) declares his love for Juliet (Claire Danes), but discovers that she is a Capulet.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
The classic Shakespearean romantic tragedy is updated by director Baz Luhrmann to a post-modern Verona Beach where swords are merely a brand of gun and bored youths are easily spurred toward violence. Longtime rivals in religion and business, the Montagues and the Capulets share a page from the Jets and Sharks of West Side Story when they form rival gangs. Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) is aloof toward the goings-on of his Montague cousins, but after he realizes that Juliet (Claire Danes) is a Capulet at the end of one very wild party, the enmity between the two clans becomes the root of his angst. He relies heavily -- and with serious consequences -- on his rebel gender-bender of a friend, Mercutio (Harold Perrineau Jr.), and Father (not Friar) Lawrence (Pete Postlethwaite) for protection and support. Romeo is, of course, exiled, and it looks like Juliet will be forced into an arranged marriage with the bland Paris (Paul Rudd). It ends, as Romeo and Juliet must, when Romeo hears a tragic piece of misinformation and brings his suicide wish to what was meant to be Juliet 's temporary tomb. This time, though, the turf and the weapon of choice have taken a turn toward the surreal.

HIT US UP:

Young leonardo dicaprio was a blessing.
Edit: me saying young doesn't mean that the current Leo isn't good. What I meant was that he looked so innocent and captivating. Every age has it's own charm. There are so many actors who look so good and when you look at their young photos they look even more beautiful. It's just the aura that changes.

[cagot]

Everytime I see Young leo I have to remind myself to breathe. He is stunning

[evtte]

Why tf is everyone ignoring the fact that Juliet’s nurse is Professor Sprouts from Harry Potter?

[caaa]

My English teacher showed us this film in class the moment Leonardo popped up on the screen every girl in my class went lmao my teacher said that happens every year she shows this film 😂

[lilacmoonlightcc]

I have chills all over my body when he looks at her and his smile immediately disappears, saying "she's a Capulet?". Hits me so hard, he's an amazing actor.

[celebrityelisebeauty]

the music in this scene makes their love feel even more intense and heartbreaking

[dancegurl]

My heart literally hurts look at his beautiful face

[emmabergen]

I had 4 thoughts during this trailer:
1. I don’t understand a single word
2. I wanna see this movie
3. WAIT WHAT IS MIKE HANNIGAN DOING THERE
4. I love Leonardo dicaprio

[bernardoazevedo]

Claire was so beautiful in this film. The comments bellow are only about Leo, but she was also gorgeous.

[autisticsapphic]

Okay everyone is talking about Leo...but like, what about Claire Dane?? She’s stunning.

[dominicomegon]

Nobody is talking about how her hair is braided like a halo. That's such a cool little detail.

[yoongisshoelace]

Leo is the most beautiful human being that i have ever seen

[juldyzjukaa]

it hurts that young Leo will never come back

[gisellefurlan]

That awkward moment when your in love with 20 year old Leonardo DiCaprio

[name]

Leo said that she was the only actress he did screen test with that didn't turn her eyes away but stared right back at his. Also, he said that she was the only girl who didn't try to act pretty.

[anniemelendez]

The most awkward thing is that ure in love w the 20year old Leonardo when his 46 lol

[wallec]

Am I the only one that is not only in love with the actors in this scene but the music that builds the intensity in scene? 👌🏼🎼🎻

[TheRealSubourbonMermaid]

I was 13 when this came out, and I remember this movie was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. The mash-up of classic and contemporary, peppered with all the cultural flair, was so fresh and edgy.

[orestes]

“She a Capulette?” That always hits me hard

[ТатьянаФуфаева-зг]

Unlike other films based on this play, this one is very fresh and sincere. I think this is the best adoptation of Shakespeare's masterpiece.
