Romance: Out of Date?

"Two households, both alike in dignity,

In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,

From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,

Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;

Whole misadventured piteous overthrows

Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,

And the continuance of their parents' rage,

Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,

Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;

The which if you with patient ears attend,

What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend."

-Shakespeare "Romeo and Juliet"

My favorite movie ever. Some may argue that Baz Luhrman's version of Shakespeare was horrible, and I will admit that the drastic updates to the original can be a bit cheesy at times. Yet, the chemistry between Romeo (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Juliet (Claire Danes) is unbelievable.

*sigh*

I love it.

Is chivalry really dead or is currently out of date?

Sincerely,
