Film Review : ' Romeo Must Die '

“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” This is a line from a poem written by William Ernest Henley. Self-control is where you control your own fate and you guide your own soul, Henley expressed this through that quote. His idea can be applied to many things, one being the story of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. In the story, the characters are big believers in fate where courses of events are beyond their control. Although some aspects of the book can be under the impression of fate, death isn’t one amongst them. There has been a debate on whether the tragedy of death is at the person’s fault or fate. In Romeo and

Lots of music, fast cuts, fantastic cinematography and superb sets and costumes make it the lively tale it was meant to be. These features also make the film somewhat cartoon-like with a lot of heightened realism. Don't expect to see British people prancing around in tights when you rent this one. Luhrmann creates a world where gun-toting youths sport Hawaiian shirts and beachfront brawls are an everyday event.

The 1996 film, Romeo and Juliet, is Baz Luhrmann’s interpretation of William Shakespeare’s play by the same name. This film is part of Baz Luhrmann’s Red Curtain Trilogy where Luhrmann uses a theatre motif in each, with poetry and language being the motif used in Romeo and Juliet. This play was originally written by William Shakespeare who was an English poet, playwright, actor and a man who is considered one of the greatest contributors to English literature as he invented over 1700 now common words and wrote some of the world’s most famous plays. Romeo and Juliet was written in 1595 so Luhrmann had to give the film a contemporary twist but keeps the original themes of forbidden love and young romance to appeal to a modern audience. In the

Romeo and Juliet, the Shakespearean playwright of two star crossed lovers, ends in two tragic deaths of both Romeo and Juliet. Who can be hold responsible for their deaths, when so many things went wrong along the way? Many could be held responsible for the deaths of the two lovers, but Romeo himself deserves to carry the heavier load of responsible for not only his death, but the death of his lover, Juliet as well. The young boy’s acts of irresponsibility, impulse, belligerence, immaturity, and streak of bad decisions only brought definite consequences to both himself and Juliet.

Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare, was originally published in 1597. Until this day, the play is very well known worldwide. The classic love story is set in Verona and is about a long feud between the Montague and Capulet families. This feud causes the death of their beloved children, Romeo and Juliet, who are described as “star-crossed lovers.” It is a play of contrasts of love and hate, joy and sorrow, light and dark, youth and age, life and death. Some readers will blame the main characters, Romeo and Juliet for bringing about their tragic deaths, however some may argue that other characters are responsible for their deaths, with only little of the blame to be placed on Romeo and Juliet.

The potion imitates death and is meant to give Romeo time to meet Juliet when she wakes. The two are supposed to run away together, but the letter that Friar Lawrence fails to deliver has all the information about Juliet’s fake death. Instead, the news of Juliet’s death

There were quite of few differences between William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet play and Baz Luhrmann’s movie based on the play. For example, the ending scene in the movie left out a lot. Paris never showed up at the cemetery to place flowers at Juliet’s tomb. Thus, Paris and Romeo never got in a quarrel that had ended in Paris’s death. Baz Luhrmann probably left out this small part in the movie because Paris wasn’t a major character in the movie. Also at that part in the scene there was already a lot going on, so leaving out that fight between Romeo and Paris wouldn’t have taken a huge toll in that certain scene. In the play that small detail told the readers that Paris’s love was true for Juliet. However by leaving out that part out in the movie it didn’t tell the audience if Paris was actually into the marriage for true love. Also Juliet was awake before Romeo died as well. However he didn’t notice that she was awake quick enough before he had drank the poison. By having Juliet wake before Romeo passed away made that

Romeo and Juliet killed each other. They were young and had many years ahead. There's plenty of people to fall in love with. They were over dramatic. They only knew each other for a few days and got married. They knew their parents hated each other, but didn't care. That led to their death. They had to hide their love. Romeo killed her cousin and he was sent away. Juliet's father wanted her to marry Paris. Juliet only wanted to be with Romeo. Juliet would go to the extreme to be with him. Even if it took her life. She drank poison to fake her death. She was put in a cellar, and when Romeo went to see her she was dead. Or he thought. He killed himself to be with her. She woke up and saw Romeo dead. So she killed herself. They were being careless and didn't know what true love was. They could have worked things out with

Sampson and Gregory, two servants of the Capulet family, were walking down the streets of Verona. Both of the were talking badly of the Montague family. They see two servants of the Montague family coming their way. They both start talking about fighting strategies. Than Sampson bites his thumb at the Montagues. They all start to fight. After that Prince Escalus arrives and commands them to stop fight or the penalty will be death. After this happens Benvolio finds Romeo. He is very depressed because his love Rosaline does not love him back.

In William Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Romeo is to blame for the deaths of many including himself and his beloved Juliet. This tragedy is about two star-crossed lovers who just happen to be in the midst of a family feud. Romeo, a Montague, and Juliet, a Capulet, fall in love very suddenly. Because they are so entranced in the love that they share, they are both led to their untimely demises. Romeo marries Juliet soon after they are acquainted, and this is one primary reason he is at fault.

Death and despair has plagued the Verona streets due to Romeo in the so called romantic tale, of Romeo and Juliet written by the famous William Shakespeare. Every single tragedy that happened in Romeo and Juliet the repercussions of one man, the blame should only be placed on the one who caused the crime, and the guilty party is Romeo.

I think that the feud between the families of Montagues and Capulets is the reason of the deaths. If the families weren’t that stubborn, then there won’t be any problems. If they just let go of their feud, nothing would have happen.

I feel like Romeo is most responsible for the deaths of Romeo and Juliet. One

A tragedy in literature is a tragic hero who falls due to a tragic flaw. Romeo’s immature personality has a huge effect on the end of the play. Romeo never thought before he acted, causing things to go wrong. For instance, before he killed Tybalt, he was angry in the moment not thinking about what would happen. When Romeo met Juliet he was in love with another girl. From here, his judgements eventually lead to his death. His tragic flaw is his unripe personality. Romeo enters this risky relationship as a young and carefree man, who doesn’t realize what could happen during this. The play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare fits perfectly with the definition of a tragedy, beginning with two hopeless teens and ending in their death by their own violation.

Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, a pair of star-crossed lovers take their life; whose misadventure piteous overthrows. Do with their death bury their parents' strife. The fearful passage of their death-marked love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
