...perceiving what the other is about to say before it comes flying out of his mouth. Ben Affleck, who cowrote the screenplay, has a small but important part here as Will's main buddy (He swears that in the next movie they write he'll get to play the Romeo).

...this place of rest, in fact, that the ballet reaches its emotional peak. In this production, there is no scene of reconciliation between the Capulets and Montagues after the deaths of their children. Instead, we end with collapse of Romeo and Juliet, in a passionate embrace, in front of the tomb--an image that's striking in its very simplicity, and that comes closest to capturing the full power of Shakespeare's play.Boston BalletArtistry and technical finesse make PATRICK ARMAND and POLLYANA RIBEIRO an ideal Romeo and Juliet...
