[edit] Balcony kiss?

What exactly is the "speculation?" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.194.16.131 (talk) 10:15, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

It was added by User:87.242.152.160 with no explanation. I'm removing it because it makes no sense. --Afed 16:11, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Scarborough Fair

I have a strong feeling that in the banquet/celebration scene that Romeo and Mercutio secreted themselves into, that there was a beautiful version of Scarborough Fair sung by a girl on dais in Chamber style... could a Wikikin please check and add it to this article if true?

I believe you're talking about the bit where the crowd forms a circle and a guy, Glen Weston, stands in the middle and sings What is a Youth, love theme from Romeo & Juliet. Only in general sentiment is it close to Scarborough Fair. Also keep in mind that the composer, Nino Rota, was writing music for theatrical versions of Shakespeare's plays in the '60s, and his original composition for Romeo & Juliet dates back to 1960 with the theatrical project also for Zeffirelli. Although he studied and was passionate for renaissance music, it's likely it predated an influence by Simon & Garfunkel's resurgence of the SF. 04:04, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia Section

I'm removing this trivia section - everything it says is utter nonsense and not important enough to be mentioned here.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:RomeoAndJuliet17.jpg

Image:RomeoAndJuliet17.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Plot Section too long

The plot section seems unnecessarily long compared to other movie articles here. 24.6.160.190 (talk) 03:10, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Waaaaaaaaay too long, and full of unnecessary commentary. 64.132.218.4 (talk) 23:33, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia section Problems?

There is omethiong seriously wrong with the trivia section; all the stuff in it is refering to Romeo + Juliet the 1996 version of this movie... 3L3CTRIC 33L (talk) 00:37, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
