BRUDDA! AMERICAN FOOTBALL

I guess all you got to do is add kung fu and it will be a great action movie. That is what I feel like the director made a loose intermediate adaptation and was thinking that by added kung fu to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet that it would be a good movie and he was right. As long as you don't try to look for some deep hidden message in the movie it was a pretty good action flick. It a loose adaptation of the play, pretty much just taking the premise that there are two families feuding and their children will fall in love and try to stop the war. Also it looks into the cost or price of their feud and their greed. The director wasn't trying to recreate Romeo and Juliet, rather he used it as his foundation to create something a little different to what he wanted to see, but he stayed close to the play which makes this an Analogy film. Although he wanted something different you can watch it and still say that this is a Romeo and Juliet story and if you can make that connection than the director didn't stray too far from the play. I'm not gonna say it was a fantastic film (only if I let my nostalgia blind me I might) but it was still a good way to pass the time and it still is technically a Romeo and Juliet story.
