Comparing Carli's Romeo And Juliet

Could there ever be a film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet that is as powerful and moving as the original play by William Shakespeare? Some people say that Romeo + Juliet, a film adaptation made in 1996 by Baz Luhrmann, is as good as the original. Some people disagree with that statement. The argument will be settled within this essay, as the similarities between the film and the play are laid out. The narrative and film techniques that the director used in the final scene brought dramatic and emotional feelings to the tragic death of the “star-crossed lovers” (Prologue, line 6).

Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, is a tragic love story about two young lovers who are forced to be estranged as a result of their feuding families. The play is about their struggle to contravene fate and create a future together. As such, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood would try and emulate Shakespeare’s masterpiece. This had been done before in many films. Prominent among them were, Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 “Romeo and Juliet” and Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 “William Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet.” Both films stay true to the themes of Shakespeare’s original play. However, the modernised Luhrmann film not only maintains the essence of Shakespeare’s writings, Luhrmann makes it relevant to a teenage audience. This is

Have you ever read a book or watched a movie and were left with the final thought of, something was missing. In the Luthrman in Zeferelli edition of Romeo and Juliet there were several of events that were not added into to the movie that were clearly an ineffective. There is no reasoning behind why the events weren’t implemented. Some huge events in Romeo and Juliet included, Romeo and Paris dueling, Romeo’s final soliloquy and Friar Laurence’s speech to the families. All being big events that were left out. To completely understand the viewer would have to read the play, or else they are not getting the full side of the story. Clearly many of the creative choices made by the movie directors were ineffective.

They are all wondering the same exact question: Whose fault is it that romeo and juliet went through their horrible tragedy together. Is it the families?...

Honourable judges, respected teachers, and my fellow students. A very good morning to you all. Today I will be speaking on the topic, "O, I am fonrtune's fool!"

I think you should let Romeo and Juliet be together for the following reasons. One, if Romeo and Juliet can love each other despite being from two families that hate each other then who is to say the two families can't get along just enough to let them be together. Two, if Romeo and Juliet were still here and did get married they could have brought there two families closer on a mutual agreement for the couple. Three, Romeo and Juliet are dead, they both killed themselves over each other because you didn't let them be together.

Even though the Zeffirelli version was more poetic and Shakespearian, Carlei’s version, however did a much better job at delivering the message of Romeo and Juliet, the star-crossed lovers.

The Death Scene in the text version has more tension. It perfectly states the events that occur between Romeo and Juliet that leads them to their death. On the other hand, the Luhrmann version also describes well the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet but has a lot of differences due to its modern time era.

After both reading the text and viewing the 1996 film the medium that best delivers Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, especially the balcony scene, is the text. To begin, the play has a much tenser, suspenseful mood compared to the movie. "'To lure this tassel gentle back again! Bondage in hoarse and may not speak aloud, Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies'" (II.ii.160-163). In the previous quote Juliet it speaking to Romeo and telling him that her parents are nearby and that they must whisper. This allows for a much more suspenseful mood, because the reader knows that at any moment the star-crossed lovers could be caught by Lord and Lady Capulet. Additionally, the text portrays Shakespeare's story better because Juliet is standing

Juliet suffered from immense amounts of emotional pain. Juliet suffers a more painful and agonizing journey than Romeo. This is because she feels like she betrayed her parents, she feels like it is her duty to listen to her parents and marry Paris, she feels guilty for Romeo’s death.

The story of Layla and Majnun is one of divine love and devotion, a story of two lovers that ends up tragically with their death. A story that can be compared to one of Shakespeare popular play; the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. Although in both stories the lovers fall in love at a glance, get separated, and then die tragically, their stories differ in multiple ways. One Layla and Majnun setting are the Arabian Desert while Romeo and Juliet's setting is in Verona Italy. Secondly Romeo and Juliet are separated by the hate of their family's to each other while in Layla and Majnun are separated by the sheer fact that Layla's father heard that Qay's is obsessed with his daughter that he became a madman that people nicknamed him Majnun.

Romeo and Juliet; a classic tragedy of two lovers who cannot be together due to circumstances beyond their control. The story has been done by various movies, many of which change certain aspects in an attempt to breathe new life into this age old tale. In 1996, Director Baz Luhrman took the story and placed it in a modern setting where the two rival families are mafia families. This sounds like an interesting take on the story and it certainly was, but the movie turned out as a complete mess.

O Juliet, Juliet, wherefore art thou Juliet? Even so, I still love you since tonight we met. The first I set sight of you at the party, my dear,
