Parents Guide for
Romeo and Juliet (1968/I)

Shakespeare is known for having some innuendos hidden in his dialogue, but it's highly unlikely that many kids will notice them.

We see Romeo and Juliet in bed together, implying they had sex the night before. Romeo then emerges from bed; nude, and we see his bare butt for a couple of minutes before he pulls some tights on.

We briefly see Juliet's bare breasts as she rolls out of bed.

Some fistfights and scuffling in the opening scene.

Two men duel with swords and at one point we see blood on one's sword, both men are killed and we see a bloody puncture wound in one's chest as he falls over.

In the famous finale, Romeo poisons himself to death and Juliet stabs herself, but no blood is seen.

None, unless you count some of the bawdy insults in Modern English

People are seen drinking wine at the masquerade

Some of the scenes listed under violence/gore could be considered intense, also the play is a tragedy so there are definitely some intense moments within the drama of the film
