Movie (Film) Version of William Shakespeares Romeo and Juliet :: Movie Film comparison compare contrast

Movie (Film) Version of Romeo and Juliet There have been many romantic films make in the past as well as now in the present, from Wuthering Heights to Pretty Woman. But, one of the most romantic of all films is the story of Romeo and Juliet. It is salutary to say that most people are familiar with this story. A couple so determined to be together, ended up tragically in the weapons of one another because of their feuding families. Today, a new director attempts to recreate this Shakespearean story by adding a little of his on twists to it. Using the same intercourse as Shakespeare, this director sets the story in modern times. Romeo and Juliet, the movie, gives audience in the twentieth century a taste of a new and mystical piquancy to this well-known love story. The place setting of Romeo and Juliet, as expected, was totally different from other settings in the past. This setting, however, was not necessarily set in way of how people right away would live. The story was set more fantasy-like. Because of the setting, the oddments of the people in this movie did not seem as moving as to the old movies. For some reason, the setting of Mercutios death interfered with this supposedly poetic scene. A broken down stage on a sandy beach does not seem to fit well together. The setting seemed pretty artificial. Also, the scene when one of the Montagues died at the gas station did not seem as depressing as would be if any other psyche was to die. This scene was the opening one so, the audience could have been distracted by the dialogue and therefore, not paying attention to the death to much. In the beginning of the movie, it was fleshy to adjust to the dialogue with the atmosphere. The dialogue was way on the other side of the timeline compared to the setting. Some of the audience was even laughing. Perhaps that was why it was so difficult to keep abreast the movie with all those distractions. What was quite remarkable about thi s movie was how the director incorporated todays problems and events with the old Shakespearean dialogue.
