My impression of Romeo and Juliet

It is said that Romeo and Juliet is a masterpiece, and I felt so when I saw the movie. This is because the introduction of Romeo and Juliet is the same as that of modern dramas and movies. For example, Romeo's family line is the enemy of Juliet's family line. In other words, he is never allowed to love her and she is never allowed to love him. This relationship is used in the romantic dramas and movies. As for "Titanic", Jack is poor and Rose is rich, so many people around them are opposed to love each other. This premise is very similar to Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet was made several decades ago but this style is used still now. I think that this is the originator of the romantic dramas and movies.

The only problem between Romeo and Juliet is that their families have a vendetta. In Titanic and most other stories like this there is some other factor dividing the lovers: class, race, religion or something else. In this story it is only the stupidity of their families that keeps Romeo and Juliet apart. Friar Laurence hopes that their marriage will bring the families together. It does.
