I seen the movie a long time ago but if I remember well it was also a little sad and they were young. I also seen Gnomeo and Juliet, the movie for children few time ago it was nice and lovable but it was not the real story but it was cute. Have a nice day!

They are two characters in famous drama of William Shakespeare. I remembered that when I was in grade 11, I used to learn a section of this drama - the scene Romeo and Julliet meet in Capulets's garden. The hatred between the Mongtagues and the Capulets leaded the love relationship of Romeo and Juliet to the tragic end. :(

That's right Blue. One of the most famous of Shakespeare's dramas. The ending is indeed tragic.

The ending kind of got me thinking which is the better choice, between living and be sad or die happily...

I guess sadness fades after time so I'd choose to keep living.

It's a very famous story that has been told in many different ways. Possibly the most famous love story of all time.
