This is the first movie I have seen which was directed by Baz Luhrmann. For the most part‚ I think he did a rather good job‚ however the whole typewritten words over a bad CGI sky thing reminded me of a really cheesy gif someone would have on their tumblr page‚ just saying.

The enigmatic painting “Las Meninas” by Diego Valesquez was painted in 1656 and many questions were raised about reality and illusion and the film “Strictly Ballroom” was filmed in 1992 and directed by Baz Lurhmman.

In Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet movie adaptation‚ the director shows the length chaos will go by incorporating a variety of effects during the prologue. For example‚ the director‚ Baz Luhrmann has chosen canted angles that are used continually throughout the prologue‚ creating unbalance and playing onto the theme of impulsivity and how it creates unbalance in one’s life.
