I liked the modern version. It made the story easier to follow, even while using the original language. I mean, they incoportated guns, cars, police, everything, and it still made sense with the old language. I thought that was impressive. Plus it was stylish and made a story that is frankly very boring and sad somewhat enjoyable and conveyed the tradgety much better IMO.
Speaking of R & J in English class, when I had to read it in 7th grade, we had to act out scenes for the class. I got to play Romeo for the sword fight with Tybalt. I tried to teach the kid I was fighting how to stylishly fence to look authentic, but we were in 7th grade and he was a dick, so basically I just beat the crap out of him with the plastic sword for the scene. 'Twas fun.
