Romeo and Juliet" is about a female college student Juri Kihira and an injured young man (Hiromichi) she meets on the street. They fall in love, not knowing that the girl's police detective chief father is in the midst of a manhunt to find the young man's physician father, who is wanted for murder.
Its a human drama that stars Takizawa Hideaki from Tackey and Tsubasa. ( Of course, a senpai of Johnny's Entertainment) I watched this mainly because I saw that he acted in it. I justa wanted to see Mr. Takizawa's acting skills and angelic face. ^.~
Alright, so he wasnt that HOT as an actor. I prefer him belting out songs on stage and acting like the dork he is. It's more natural for him. His acting in Romeo and Juliet seems forced and unnatural, his face registers almost no emotion. needless to say, it was boring. The only thing that got me through it was the fact that I was bored and there was nothing else to do and taht there was Tackey on my screen.
The girl was a little better though, though amateur. I swear I have seen her in another film before.Thats right. She was in Proposal Daisakusen and Dragon Zakura. She was better in DZ. I dont know about Prodai. I havent finished it.
Anyway, I liked the ending set of Romeo and Juliet. The scene by the church with falling autumn leaves. It's so romantic. The story flowed slowly...and its good enough for a TV special. Its a good watch for when you have nothing much to do and want a little romance and human drama in your life.
I give it 3 stars, because Tackey was cute.
