... When we first see Romeo is his dark attire and tights, he is looking at the light coming from Juliet’s window. He walks slowly in the darkness until he clearly sees the illuminated palace in which Juliet resides. Juliet is dressed in a white gown, which makes her appear very angelic and virginal. ... Juliet rests her cheek in her hand as the moon shines down on her young face and she seems very isolated. ... Later on in the scene, the soft light continually falls upon Juliet’s angelic face, yet Romeo predominantly remains in the darkness, shadowed. Here, Zefferelli is emphasizing this to be a symbolic reference to the goodness of the Capulets and the supposed badness of the Montague’s from Juliet’s viewpoint. The camera is also pointed up during this scene when directed toward Juliet, yet pointed down when directed towards Romeo. Zefferelli uses these camera angles to show that Juliet is considered someone Romeo admires although he is considered a lesser man by the Capulet family. ... I found the director to focus a lot on Romeo and Juliet’s hands in showing their affection for one another. ... As Romeo kisses Juliet’s neck she professes her true love for him, proclaiming, “I’ll lay and follow thee my lord throughout the world,” only to be interrupted by the nurse’s call. During Romeo’s final speech, his makes it clear that lovemaking is still very much on his mind as he tells Juliet, “Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in they breast.
