WHAT was Zefirelli thinking?

I'm NOT a homophobe (quite the opposite infact), but his orientation does, in many ways, reflect in this film. He tore Juliet's part to shreds! Were are all her beautiful speeches that make you emphasise with the character? He turned her into a whiny bitch... All the focus was on the Zac Efron lookalike Romeo.

What the hell's wrong with expressing yourself?
