Reaction to Letters to Juliet

              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.
