Personally I found the Romeo and Juliet movie very entertaining, in the visual sense. From sword fights to romantic nights it was scripted quite well and it was easy to watch. It was pretty eye catching because of the unique and original costumes, storyline, and scenes. For a visual learner this movie is a great way to understand the original script, and it’s difficult to look away from.
On the other hand, due to the faded knowledge of elizabethan english in modern society, if you were simply listening to the play it would likely be difficult to understand due to the major difference between modern day english and elizabethan english.
Overall I enjoyed watching and learning about Romeo and Juliet because of the unique story plot, and the sense of “decoding” the different use of the english language.
