After they both Romeo and Juliet die the rain clears out and the Sun reappears bright

Costumes:
- White clothing representing love and innocence

Where:
- Act 5 Scene 3 will be located in the church where they both die

To me I felt Act 5 Scene 3 meant the most to me.  This scene really showed the true colors and love not only Romeo had for Juliet but also the love Juliet had for Romeo.  Some people believe that "Love at first sight is real" and is a feeling when you look into each others eyes and feel that connection with them.  This feeling is almost like you know them but you have never even met them before.  I feel the final scene is like the best part and wraps up the whole love and hate story between the Capulets and the Montague's.  Anyways to start off I would have Romeo and Paris having a deep argument about Juliet.  Romeo is very pissed and kills Paris.  Romeo is looking all over the place for Juliet and as he is walking down the lane to Juliet and her coffin I would have spotlights as he is walking down to her.  Every step there would be a spotlight would appear.  Then when Romeo finally reaches Juliet the the light is first pitch dark then becomes bright on Juliet.  While Romeo is walking I would have very sad music showing the emotion as Romeo does not know that Juliet is still alive.  Romeo sits on the firm white cushion right besides Juliet.  Romeo then says to Juliet, "Juliet, I love you my dear wife.  I would do anything to bring you back to life.  Should I kill myself and be with you?  I would do anything to see your beautiful face for the rest of my life."  Suddenly, Romeo picks up the shiny pistol gun right on the counter.  Juliet may be to late to let Romeo know that he should not kill himself.  "Boom!"  Juliet was too late.  As Romeo is slowly dying to his last breath, Romeo says something to Juliet, "Please join me.  As a husband who loves you very much you should come with me!"  Romeo is begging Juliet to come with him before he is gone.  A minute later, you here another "Boom!" This was the end to the love story between Romeo and Juliet.  At least now they do not have to hide away from anybody.  Juliet can now be free from Lord and Lady Capulet.  Lord and Lady Capulet have been controlling Juliet's lifestyle ever since she was born.  No more planning a wedding with a man she did not wanna marry.  To make this story more modern they should be wearing not as nice clothing. Also, instead of swords everyone should you guns because in todays world no one uses swords to fight.  They may use knives which are not very common when fighting someone.  I would also have both the Capulets and Monatgues not be families but be two separate big cities.  Also, change the language to English to show understanding for the movie.  In all, Act 5 Scene 3 helped end the play with not just a sad part but a somewhat happy part knowing both Romeo and Juliet will live happily ever after.
