display of connectedness to family and place. 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. Framing is what is deliberately included in the frame and what is excluded. The painting shows a “moment in time” during the everyday life of the royal family. The king and queen are only seen in the mirror; it is only when we realise this

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. As for the music‚ I believe he uses modern music and dance in a retro setting as a way to capture the way the audience at the time would have felt in that setting. In other words‚ if he used music that today’s audience associates

I chose The Great Gatsby to watch for my movie review because the movie gives you a look at how life was in the 1920s. The Great Gatsby was released in 2013 and is rated PG13 for violence and sexual content. The movie was 143 minutes long. Baz Luhrmann directed The Great Gatsby and takes place in 1922. Leonardo DiCaprio played Jay Gatsby who bought a mansion across the lake from the love of his life (Daisy) who is now married. Casey Mulligan plays daisy who is in a hard place deciding whether

Romeo and Juliet‚ the dramatic love story everyone knows. Many times the play by William Shakespeare is compared to the movie produced by Baz Luhrman. Most always when movies are compared to the books‚ the books are better‚ but not quite in this case. Yes‚ the play is very good as well as the movie‚ but the play has its great parts‚ and its not so great parts as well. Just like the movie‚ it also has its good parts also many things that are the same in both the movie and play‚ but of course they

Wayne Bennet represents a love of life in his autobiography‚ ‘Don’t Die With the Music in You’‚ through the exploration of his love for football and coaching. Finally‚ Baz Luhrman represents love in the film ‘Moulin Rouge’ as a romantic force that can conquer all things. This essay will argue that whilst these three texts represent diverse forms of love‚ the message that love is a powerful and inescapable force is ultimately

interpretation of the text and drama; rather‚ he is‚ in the truest sense‚ staging an adaptation of the ancient tragedy to the modern medium of film. Far from altering or rejecting the Elizabethan conventions of style‚ tone‚ and presentation as Baz Luhrmann perhaps did three decades later‚ Zeffirelli incorporates these elements seamlessly into the more contemporary genre of Hollywood romance‚ in the process infusing the oft-told story with a vibrancy and relevance that was perhaps unparalleled in

The special effects and scenery chosen by director Baz Luhrmann is not only distracting and confusing‚ but it also causes us to lose focus on the classic romantic love story by William Shakespeare. Another thing JB is not amused by is the performance of Leonardo DiCaprio‚ and he even says that some of the lines

Fate Vs. Freewill “From fourth the fatal loins of these two foes a pair of star crossed lovers take their life; whose misadventured piteous overthrows.” The role of fate plays an extremely important role in this play. Rome meets Juliet at the Capulet’s party. The meeting of the couple would have never taken place if the servant had not come around town to look for people that were invited to the party that the Capulets were hosting. The illiterate servant walked around town and happened to bump
