Postlethwaite is the priest who supplies the sleeping potion for Juliet.
Herb was impressed with the use of television broadcasts throughout the film as an announcer of time, place and events occurring in the story. The giant, modern Jesus statue (much like the classic in Rio de Janeiro) set in the large, faceless city adds to the drama of the sets.
Juliet, a Capulet, and hopelessly in love with Romeo, but promised by her Father to another man, learns that Romeo is not only a Montague, but has killed her cousin as well. It is then she utters the now-famous words, “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Advised by the priest, she pretends to commit suicide with the priest’s sleeping potion. Romeo misses the UPS overnight delivery of the priest’s letter telling him of the scam, goes to Juliet’s bier, and mourning her “death” takes poison and dies just as she awakes. In the original, Juliet dies by her own hand with Romeo’s dagger, but in this film it is the more modern gun that is her end. The crypt setting is amazing and beautiful, lit by hundreds of candles and electric crosses.
