Juliet never looks at Romeo, even when he falls to his death. I suppose the indifference is captured in the lyric of the song, but its depiction here seems extreme.

Also check out those "chains of silver" and "chains of gold." Talk about low budget. No one had real silver or gold necklaces they could borrow for the shoot?

I have always loved this song, but I never saw the video until this week. It in no way captures the images painted by the lyrics.
