Letters to Juliet


I previously watched Letters to Juliet which is a movie that takes place in Italy.  People write their own love problems to “Juliet” who stays unknown. There are about five girls who are Juliet and respond to all of the people’s letters. One day, as one of the Juliet’s was taking out all of the letters, she found one crammed all the way in the back. The letter was dated to about 50 years ago. She made it her first priority to respond back to that letter first. When the lady who had written that letter sees that someone finally responded to it, she decided to take her advice and find the love of her life in Italy from 50 years ago. “Juliet” finds the girl who wrote that letter and offers to go along on the journey to find him. As they travel through Italy, there are a lot of long shots to show the scenery in Italy as beautiful as it was. As they found all on the men with the same name as him, they found out his name was common and they had about 20 different men to look for to see which one is her love. As they go from house to house, there are many close ups on the old ladies face to show the disappointment if not finding the right guy she was looking for. This allowed the audience to see and feel her pain.
