Commercialism and materialism are major flaws inherent within modern society. Consequently‚ as satirical texts‚ Nick Hornby’s 1998 novel “About a Boy” and Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein’s episode of “The Simpsons: Lisa vs. Malibu Stacy” written in 1994 critique this. Both texts are used as vehicles to demonstrate to the audience the detrimental impacts that commercialism and materialism have on society‚ through the use of a range of textual and satirical techniques.

Baz Luhrmann‚ director of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet‚ used elements of a film such as characterization‚ setting‚ deletion and addition to scenes‚ and music to further portray the theme of inevitable fate of Romeo and Juliet. Characterization is essential to films because it helps to develop the theme of fate and express the fact that it is unavoidable for young Romeo and Juliet. Some people believe Shakespeare is uninteresting or confusing‚ but this version of the film is exciting

One of America’s most iconic novels‚ The Great Gatsby by F Scott Fitzgerald‚ was recently adapted into a film by the famous director Baz Luhrmann in 2013. I have personally read the book and seen the movie and can say that the film closely resembled the original book. The scenes‚ character descriptions‚ and conversations were‚ for the most part‚ spot on. Many of the differences were very minor and insignificant. Regardless of how similar the film and book were‚ film critics and viewers had mixed

The film’s take on these two characters stays within the style of the book‚ but some information about them are seen to be excluded in the film.

Romeo and Juliet. Another waste of my time or not? When hearing about the new modern day Romeo and Juliet my heart sank thinking about another boring old fashioned love story that has a reasonably unhappy ending (not something you want to waste 2 hours of your life on). But amazingly‚ when seeing the new trailer‚ I automatically got drawn in on this new phenomenon – shocking‚ I know. The way the writer portrays the trailer is that it’s going to be an action packed‚ romantic disaster film‚ which

two teenage lovers whose marriage is doomed from the beginning because they come from feuding families. This story has been made into a movie by many film producers but 2 of the most famous were Zeferrelli’s in 1968 and Luhrmann’s in 1996. I believe Baz Luhrmann’s movie was the most believable and portrayed the tragedy of R & J better. I will be analysing act 5‚ scene 3 where R & J die in the tomb of Capulets. In act 5 scene 3 Romeo hears of Juliet’s death‚ so rushes (without thought) to join Juliet
