I liked Letters to Juliet. It was a very romantic movie, especially since Verona, Italy is the city of love. Claire, finding her long lost love, Lorenzo, even at an old age, shows how romantic it is. I loved the scene where Claire finally meets her Lorenzo, 50 years later and the expression on her face during a close-up, brings out the important part of the movie. Claire can't believe her eyes and she is deeply happy.
This all started when Claire met Sophie for the first time after she got her letter answered. In that scene there is an over the shoulder shot that you can just see how happy she is to find the person who answered her letter after all these years. In the film you can see the emotions of the characters so good that you feel and understand whats going on. There was also an establishing shot of a big part of Verona, right before Sophie walks around the city. It was beautiful. It was also romantic how in the end Sophie and Charlie ended up together and Charlie climbed to the balcony to reach Sophie.

The Juliet Club (pgs.101-157).
Summary: Lucy and Kate are walking around the garden, exploring. Meanwhile, Giacomo is at church with his grandmother, whom he grew up with. He has been going too that same church for many years. One of the saints at church tell him he has to find true love.
The day of the seminar comes and Kate is the first to arrive. Soon everyone arrives and class begins. Professoressa Marchese tells them how throughout the whole seminar, instead of writing essays and doing other things like that, they are going to act out the play. They would also be answering love letters written to Juliet because now they are members of the Juliet Club. The first letter is read to the whole class. A girl named Jill dates a boy named James, who also dates another girl- Alice. She says that James doesn't like Alice no more, but is scared of what Alice might do if he breaks up with her. After the letter is read, the class goes back and forth on what they think. Kate and Giacomo have the biggest disagreement ever. Sylvia and Benno later, decide to play a joke on them. They wanted them to think that they liked eachother, but Kate overhears the plan and tells Giacomo. They decide to play like they don't know nothing and make up their own plan.
Qoute:" 'It's completely ridiculous!' she was saying. 'As if I would ever be attracted to you!' "(Harper 153).
Reaction: This is what Kate was saying to Giacomo. She knows that she likes him. She just can't admit it.
