Movie (Film) Version of William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet :: Movie Film comparison compare contrast

exposure (Film) Version of Romeo and Juliet There have been many romantic films made in the past as well as now in the present, from Wuthering heights to Pretty Woman. But, one of the most romantic of all films is the story of Romeo and Juliet. It is unassailable to say that most people are familiar with this story. A duad so determined to be together, ended up tragically in the arms of one an opposite because of their feuding families. Today, a new director attempts to jolly along this Shakespearean story by adding a little of his on twists to it. exploitation the same dialogue as Shakespeare, this director rates the story in neo times. Romeo and Juliet, the movie, gives audience in the twentieth century a taste of a new and mystical flavor to this well-known love story. The setting of Romeo and Juliet, as expected, was totally different from other settings in the past. This setting, however, was not necessarily set in way of how people today would live. The story was set more than fantasy-like. Because of the setting, the deaths of the people in this movie did not face as pitiable as to the old movies. For some reason, the setting of Mercutios death interfered with this supposedly poetical scene. A broken down stage on a blond beach does not seem to fit well together. The setting seemed moderately artificial. Also, the scene when one of the Montagues died at the gas station did not seem as depressing as would be if any other psyche was to die. This scene was the opening one so, the audience could have been distracted by the dialogue and therefore, not paying attention to the death to much. In the first gear of the movie, it was hard to adjust to the dialogue with the atmosphere. The dialogue was way on the other side of the timeline compared to the setting. Some of the audience was even laughing. Perhaps that was why it was so difficult to follow the movie with all those distractions. What was quite remarkable closely this movie was how the director incorporated todays problems and events with the old Shakespearean dialogue.
