Capulet’s‚ are forbidden from being together happily. They have to go behind their parents’ backs and this ends in their tragic deaths. Tybalt is the cousin of Juliet and a Capulet who also acts as a catalyst for the heart wrenching events that take place further on into the story. I am comparing Act 1 Scene 1 of William Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ with the Baz Lurhmann film version. The book is set in fourteenth century Verona‚ Italy in contrast the film is set in a modern day on Verona Beach

I believe that Baz Luhrmann has created a very effective prologue and version of Act 1 Scene 1 of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet‚ using visual images and landmarks along with the language to aid the audience in understanding the story. Using the media throughout‚ Luhrmann makes the situations easier for the audience to grasp‚ and in turn‚ relate to. The film begins with the camera zooming in on a television. The prologue is spoken by a black female news reporter. Using a coloured female reporter

REBECCA GRECH The distinctively visual techniques created by Henry Lawson in his short stories‚ differ in techniques but relate in ideas and concepts to those created in Baz Luhrmann’s film “Australia” Both Henry Lawson and Baz Luhrmann use distinctively visual techniques in their portrayals of life in the Australian Bush. Their stereotypical views of bush society in the outback are shown through their chosen median with techniques of “chronological listing” ‘film montage’ ‘colloquial language’

morning ladies and gentlemen. Moulin Rouge is the movie musical that merges fin-de-siecle decadence of the French Musical with modernised film directing skill which was done by a famous Australian director‚ Baz Luhrmann. This movie belongs to two genres‚ the romance and the musical. However‚ Baz Luhrmann subverted the typical conventions of the genre by re imaging historical trapping of the narrative which peacefully coexists with the anachronistic insertions of today’s popular culture. This point will

The film ‘Strictly Ballroom’‚ directed by Baz Luhrmann successfully highlights the true sense of belonging through the use of music‚ dialogue‚ lighting and symbolism. Belonging has been defined as ‘a relationship or affinity with something or someone.’ Belonging means to be usually or rightly placed

works such as Jean Anouilh’s Antigone‚ William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet‚ and Baz Luhrmann Romeo and Juliet film‚ the idea of fate plays a huge role in the tragedy specifically when the characters feel as though they don’t have control in it. All 3 characters show somewhere in each piece that they feel as if they are a pawn to fate whether it is through them saying it directly or through a symbol such as water in Baz Luhrmann’s interpretation. This feeling is what leads up to the eventual tragic

Baz Luhrmann’s Moulin Rouge presents a dilemma for viewers as this movie displays the consequences of mixing obligations with personal interests and values. We see this with Satine as she is caught between two worlds in her role as a courtesan of the Moulin Rouge and also as Christian’s lover. She is obliged by her duty as a courtesan to protect Zidler’s interests‚ yet she also wishes to embrace the Bohemian values of Christian‚ those values being beauty‚ freedom‚ truth and most importantly to Christian

parents are given first names‚ whereas in Shakespeare ’s play they nearly went as Lord and Lady. Mercutio is neither a Montague nor a Capulet‚ but he gets murdered defending Romeo from Tybalt. In fact right before he dies he warns both Romeo and Tybalt at their families need to watch out. Romeo+ Juliet from Baz Luhrmann’s point of view has given me the ability to see just how lost in love these two children from rival families were for each other. Oh My‚ Shakespeare From
