Alternative US Flag from 1996's Romeo Juliet film
The 1990s thematic of Romeo & Juliet meets Hollywood, a unique version of the US flag appears. In this timeless classic the director chose to change the atmosphere of their universe as an alternative dreamlike music video version of Shakespeare's most vaulted love story. In this world, Juliet can be seen dancing with man dressed in an astronauts suit from the USA.
However, it is not your normal US flag. Remember that this representation of Romeo & Juliet takes place in an parallel universe, so to speak. There are 19 stars in the canton and a patch, that is nearly impossible to make out. It seems to be a statue or lighthouse by the water? Or maybe a Washington Monument like structure?
Before Titanic, Leo had already played in a role of tragic love, of two star crossed lovers, Romeo & Juliet.
