The music is great.  :)

Also, it's the classic story - even Shakespeare wrote about it - boy and girl have a simple love, even though they are from different backgrounds, but it's friends and family, who are married to their own prejudices, that won't let them be together.

How simple our world would be if we would encourage love for people who are different than we are, instead of being steadfast in our prejudices!  That's not to say we all have to agree, or even like each other, but this movie trumpets tolerance - and without tolerance, well, we all know how the end turned out.

Keep up the good work!
