There is something great about Romeo & Juliet being adapted into a story of love between two men.
But there was something that seemed confusing in the tale of why exactly the love was being denied or opposed. In the original R&J it was clear of the opposing families and we now look at such things & question why this would be the reality. Of course there are still many who get pressured to marry someone other than who they love. Maybe I was slow in figuring it out, but I could not grasp who was opposing the arrangement & why. And in this day & age the R&J story kind of does not hold up. Would you be willing to die if you can not marry the one you love? If you think this way, then you need help. Nothing should come before your own wellbeing.
