Waistband In Romeo And Juliet

For their free dance to music from new film about Romeo and Juliet, they did not choose themed costumes. Beautiful historical or themed costumes is always great, but, it is difficult to sew them well. I like the light and delicate color palette, it suits well to the general mood of the program. The dress seems simple enough, but there is a beautiful drapery trim on the bodice and very beautiful decoration with stones on the sleeves. There was no reason for this dress to look bad on ice because this design has already been tested at catwalks and red carpets.

Shakespeare has been around for a long time and so many people have critiqued his work. They all take their interpretation and they think that it is right. There have been so many interpretations for Romeo and Juliet, which is Shakespeare’s most famous story. So many people have their own opinions on what Romeo and Juliet is really about. The problem is that everybody thinks that their interpretation is correct and there is no other way that the story could be read. Although Carolyn E. Brown, writer of “Juliet’s Taming of Romeo”, makes a good argument about how Juliet ‘tames’ Romeo in the story, I believe that in their relationship, they are equals.

In the movie Romeo and Juliet by Baz Luhrmann, the clothing each character wore, really meant something. The character I will be focusing on will be Mercutio. The biggest thing my character represented was a drag queen. The reason is because of his clothing. The clothes symbolised 2 main things.

Juliet’s outfit in Romeo and Juliet symbolises that she is the angel that Romeo was looking for. In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet wears an angel costume for the masquerade party. The outfit symbolises that Juliet is beautiful, and that she is an angel, and also represents that she is pure, kind, and young. You can see this because she never seems to act out, and is always kind. When Romeo enters the party, he sees Juliet and falls in love.

She is wearing a dress that she refers to as the least feminine in the store, while her father wearing a full velvet suit embracing his femininity. His wife was clearly unhappy, she accuses him of outshining the bride. She was clearly unpleased with her husband’s appearance, this demonstrate the dislike for her husband’s feminine side, which further shows the struggle of dealing with his homosexuality. Ever since finding out about the husband homosexuality, the wife seems to have a grim expression that never seems to

Romeo’s friends think that taking him to the party will help take his mind off Rosaline. They hope that seeing her around other women will make her seem less attractive.

Since zippers were not invented in the 14th century, men and women would use buttons and lace to secure their clothing. Some documents even state that women would be sewn into their clothes because the fashion was to wear tight fitted clothes.

“These violent delights have violent ends.” ACT 2, SCENE vi, LINE 9 For my visual assignment on Romeo and Juliet, I chose the quote, “These violent delights have violent ends.” In regards to the story, this quote can be explained in two ways - the first of them relating to Mercutio, who dies in the scene after Friar Lawrence says this to Romeo and Juliet. For example, “violent delights” could be interpreted as Mercutio’s amusement towards violence itself (which also explains his name - Mercutio for Mercury, the easily-disturbed metal and the Roman god of thieves and trickery), while “violent ends” describes Mercutio’s death.

Captivating an audience with a beautiful setting cannot be done without the use of props. These have been used by Baz Luhrmann in his film ‘Romeo and Juliet’ in order to tie in with the setting, and use his unique use of colour in order to attract a young audiences attention. Although this was achieved through setting, the props were also a major part of mise-en-scene such as cigarettes. This prop created a bad boy image for Romeo who instantly attracted Juliet, relating to teenage girls who like the bad boy image and the rebellious nature common among young people. Another prop used by Luhrmann was the ‘Bachelor of the year’ magazine depicting Paris as the main figure on the front cover. This was to symbolise the supposed image he represented

“Romeo and Juliet” is a fictional book about the love of two star-crossed lovers who come to a brutal end due to their family fued. This book has been recreated in many different ways, whether it is the whole book or just a scene. It has been made into books, movies, musicals, posters, and plays. The author William Shakespeare published this book in 1597, yet still to this day, it is being recreated. Romeo and Juliet from Stratford Festival, Mercury Theatre, and the book itself are three examples of amazing recreations.

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.

Though he did make some cuts that take away from the meaning and characters of the play, the reason often made sense. For example, Juliet’s soliloquy in act 4 scene 3, which is incredibly important because it shows the darkness of Juliet, was cut because the death scene does not take place in a tomb and that is the main topic of her soliloquy. Although the audience missing the dark depression of Juliet in this soliloquy, he compensates for this by making the Juliet scene with her father where he tells her she is going to marry Paris, be much more emotional. Another cut was the death of Paris, which at first seems like an important plot point to leave out, yet other than showing Romeo’s determination to see Juliet, really has no purpose. Luhrmann

With only three actors, a chair each and a room of space, Brisbane based theatre company Zen Zen Zo has redefined what we know to be a classical Shakespeare tragedy, Romeo and Juliet, and has created a modern interpretation of this tale through dynamic physicality, specific actions, the elements of drama and both classic and modern texts. The physicality used in this performance manipulates the most common viewpoints of society, to draw in the younger audience and to relate and combine the youth of modern times to that of hundreds of years ago. Throughout the performance, multiple elements of drama including movement, action, language and physicality were used to explore the topic of the strength of love and the rejection of authority, to refer to relatable topics for a younger modern audience.

Women’s stockings is the motif in the play. What is the significance of the women's stockings in the play?

. In both of these movies, makeup is not a big constituent of these films. Nevertheless, the use of fake blood is noteworthy, especially during the fight scene. Blood was used in both versions to show that each family had wounded one of their opposing men. Furthermore, the use of blood and various other sources of makeup helped animate the brutal fight that occurred between the two groups of men. In both versions of this love story, the use of props in moderation, strengthened the accuracy and modernization of the film. Franco Zeffirelli created his film to portray the time period in which this play was written. Therefore, the weaponry used was swords. Keeping the swords in the plot was a remnant of the original play’s prop usage. Looking
