I loved the modern adaptation of Romeo+Juliet by Baz Luhrmann with Leorando Di Caprio. I thought it would be interesting to push it a step further with a gay relationship. Except that it doesn't work.
It doesn't work to call a guy "Juliet", to call him Madame. Maybe it would work with a film about transgender.
It doesn't work for a unified class to be split along two opposite camps (the Capulets & the Montagues). Maybe it would have make sense with a small group of special forces corp confronting a small group of terrorists.
It doesn't work for a small budget film with only a dozen actors to take place in a huge military school.
Last but not least, I did not like the way the camera was handled. Many times, the image is blur, and I'm even not sure this is done on purpose.
