Emma And Clueless Comparison

Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film, Romeo + Juliet effectively appropriates the Shakespearean 16th century love tragedy. So why has Luhrmann decided to appropriate Romeo and Juliet? By changing the context, Luhrmann effectively makes the play relevant, discussing his contextual concerns of the 1990’s. This is done through the use of themes in the film, love, family disputes and hate which have remained similar to the original play, although the way they have been presented are different, in particular the form and characters. The form has had an obvious change as the original play has been adapted into a film. Characters in the film have also been appropriated to correspond with Luhrmann's contextual concerns. Hence, Luhrmann successfully appropriates the original Shakespeare play, Romeo and Juliet by maintaining similar themes, but altering the form and characterisation to fit his contextual concerns.

For years, storylines and theme commonalities have been evident in movies, novels, and folktales, where scenes or characters are like those in another story. The remarkably visible parallels the dramatic literature Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, and the novel A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens share is unavoidable. The Dickens story is set between England and France, where revolution is stirring and thousands are dying. The Manette family faces dilemma from an ancient enemy Madame Defarge. With the aid of their close friends, victory results for Lucie Manette and her husband. Not so similarly, in the movie Les Mis, the french rebels die leaving only one man surviving, Marius Pontmercy. Although Marius is content with his new wife, all

Romeo and Juliet is a timeless story about two ill-fated lovers. Originally written by, Shakespeare, this story has been adapted by different directors who all commonly try to add their own unique twist to it. Two of the most prevalent adaptations of Romeo and Juliet have been done by Franco Zeffirelli and Baz Luhrmann, who have taken this love story to the big screen. Franco Zeffirelli’s movie, which was produced in 1968, is extremely authentic and stays true to Shakespeare's vision, whereas, Baz Luhrmann’s version produced in 1996, is contemporary and appeals more to younger audiences. There are various differences and a couple of similarities between Zeffirelli’s and Luhrmann’s movie versions such as the costumes, their interpretations of

Jane Austen’s novel 'Emma' and Amy Heckerling’s Clueless, as significant and satirical reflections of Regency England and postmodern America respectively, indicate how the transformation process can shape and improve literacy, intertextual and logical importance. The transformation is evident in the compositions Jane Austen’s ‘Emma’ and Amy Heckerling’s ‘Clueless’ enabling us to investigate the assortment of logical subjects. Regarding ‘Emma’ the perspective throughout the Regency time frame examines the strict values of love and marriage inside the inflexible social hierarchy. Austen’s advances the significance of etiquette throughout the text. Austen reveals a neo-women’s activist perspective, shown in the female protagonist revealing the female protagonists’ scholarly capacity and social equity in an otherwise patriarchal society. However, the close resemblance of the story; ‘Clueless’, Heckerling composition conveys entirely transformed values, reflected through the actions of the current upper-working class of contemporary Los Angeles. The critical analysis of commercialism in the informal social class system of modern America reiterating social expectations of gender and social characterisation within the microcosm of the typical American educational system. The transformation in attitudes of Austen, reveals an exhaustive utilisation of setting, a close examination of dialect and various artistic procedure.

Emma Woodhouse, who begins the novel "handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and a happy disposition" (Austen 1), suffers from a dangerous propensity to play matchmaker, diving into other’s lives, for what she believes is their own good. Despite this, she is a sympathetic character. Her matchmaking leads only to near-disasters and her expressions of remorse following these mistakes are sincere and resolute. Jane Austen's Emma concerns the social milieu of a sympathetic, but flawed young woman whose self-delusion regarding her flaws is gradually erased through a series of comic and ironic events.

First, in this paragraph I want to focus on the ladies behind Clueless/Emma. Cher Horowitz (Clueless, 1995), Emma woodhouse (Emma, 1815), and Amy Heckerling, the producer of Clueless. Cher is an elegant, young daddy’s girl who lives in the high class town of Beverley hills. Chers main goal in life is to keep her daddy healthy, and keep up with the latest fashion statements. Throughout the film we watch Cher mature and go through basic life lessons. We see her experience

Clueless is about a popular 16 year old named Cher Horowitz. Cher is a rich, popular beverly hills student. Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school's social list. Cher and her best friend Dionne Davenport, two of the most popular sophomores in school, play matchmakers for two teachers. Encouraged by her success, she decides to give klutzy new student Tai a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than Cher is, Cher realizes that her ex-stepbrother, Josh, was right about how misguided she was and falls for him. Amy Heckerling apted the film of off a book named Emma by Jane Austen. The film was produced on July 19, 1995 and grossed $56 million in the United States. I chose this film because it is a very funny movie that shows the inside of the life of a popular rich teen in beverly hills. Clueless shows the world inside of a popular high school girl. Cher and Dionne both have a love of fashion and beauty but also have different interests. These characters may seem very shallow but actually have a much deeper way of thinking. Clueless is certainly a celebration of unapologetic femininity.

Jane Austen’s Emma can be categorized as a bildungsroman, better known as a coming-of-age tale, in which the reader follows the title character as she comes to terms with her position in the world during the Regency period. However, looking beyond the titular character, one can look at Emma as a satirical work regarding the restrictions and conventions of 19th century society. This satirical element later went on to inspire Heckerling’s interpretation as she adapted the story of Emma into the cult film, Clueless, which goes on to highlight the phenomena of cliques amongst the youth of America. Both works use the element of exaggeration in order to explore the gender stereotypes and expectations placed upon society during their respective eras. Heckerling effectively takes the novel Emma and thrusts it into the world of Beverly Hills, keeping the underlying themes while engaging a more modern audience.

Emma Haley’s personality contains many layers, underscored by socialness and a complexity unknown to many. Emma’s early childhood experiences with animals bred a passion about all living things that sparked a deep interest. Even today Emma’s common thoughts consist of her future career, which she hopes to fill completely with animal interactions. In fact, the vast majority of her thoughts focus towards the future, whether it concerns her career, family, or even college. Upon meeting Emma, one might notice the ease with which conversation can occur, but a definition of a person cannot exist with only one trait. Although socialness and a desire to delve into opportunities to meet new people represent a couple of the primary traits Emma exhibits,

It was November 2, 2016 a cold breezy night, around 7:27 pm while Emma a average height woman, blonde hair, ballet dancer walking to the ballet studio so Sydney can teach Emma her new routine and get her fitted for her new costume for her upcoming ballet recital .

I saw Clueless many of times as a child growing up. I just thought it was a ditzy American movie about a women who has bad love matching skills. Previously reading EMMA novel by Jane Austen, I see the connection between the novel and film. Literal translation and traditional translation are out of the picture for translation from a literature into film. Radical is the best example of translation EMMA to Clueless. One of the main example radical translation, the translation from an 1816 written novel based on past settlement life in pre-industrial England to 1995 in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles in modern day. Everything in film reshape from the novel to the film from authentic music dances, food, music, costumes, hats, hair design, wigs and
