    Shakepeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet 1996 film adaption. In the play Romeo and Juliet Shakespeare explores the themes of conflict and rebellion and their tragic consequences. I strongly believe that Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet is the superior text as it conveys the same themes‚ however adapts them through the medium of film which is more enjoyable than a play for a modern audience and he has done this in order to convey a version of Romeo and Juliet

    Baz Luhrmann is the director of a modern version of Romeo and Juliet (written by Shakespeare). There are many differences from the movie and the book‚ such as swapping swords for guns‚ to really emphasize the violence there was in that day.
