My basic problem with this movie is that I was never convinced that the movie's Romeo was ever truly in love with his Juliet. He liked her and did not want her to die but, until she was on her deathbed, he easily found acceptable replacements. The cultural conflict with the hero's parents was only mildly interesting since it was obvious that the family had no choice but to accept whoever the son brought home. In my view, the film was okay to watch if one had nothing better to do on a rainy day.
