The 1996 movie was a little like the 1968 movie. In the 1968 movie they used swords to fight. In the movie in 1996 they used pistols that said sword on the side of them to fight. In both movies Romeo and Juliet died. One of the most notable differences is the death scene near the end of the play. In the play Romeo dies beside Juliet the priest enters the tomb, and Juliet awakes to find him cold. She talks with the priest but refuses to leaves she stabs herself with a dagger. In the movie Juliet wakes up to find Romeo dyeing. He dies in her arms while she looks on in honor. Romeo saw that Juliet was alive before he died, but it was too late to save his life. The priest never comes to the tomb in the movie and Juliet is left alone with Romeo
