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.

Discuss tension how tension is created in Romeo and Juliet. ’Romeo and Juliet’ is a tragic love story between two ’star cross’d’ lovers.

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.

Regardless of how similar the film and book were‚ film critics and viewers had mixed

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.

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.
