My only love sprung from my only hate.

Overview

In director Baz Luhrmann's contemporary take on William Shakespeare's classic tragedy, the Montagues and Capulets have moved their ongoing feud to the sweltering suburb of Verona Beach, where Romeo and Juliet fall in love and secretly wed. Though the film is visually modern, the bard's dialogue remains.

I'm yet to see a bad - heck, even a just mildly good - film from Leonardo DiCaprio, which remains the case after this.
