Our class has watched 3 movies in relations to Shakespeare and the creation of Romeo & Juliet for the past two weeks.
First, we watched a comedy-like version of Romeo & Juliet, which was hilarious and grabbed my interest right away. We also watched Shakespeare in Love, which was meant to show us more about Shakespeare's personality. The last movie that we just finished today is the modern version of Romeo & Juliet, which used guns instead of swords and portrayed the son and daughter of two rival companies falling in love.
I find watching these movies extremely helpful because two weeks ago, I knew nothing about Romeo & Juliet, but now I have a clear understanding of the play. I can't wait to start reading the play!

Although those movies might have caught your interest, I am 50% sure that reading the plays will not grab your interest.
