    see Juliet not caring if he got caught. This suugests the audience that he is still not completely changed and committed to Juliet. This scene also contrasts the ball room scene that he looks in control. We know this because the types of shots Baz Luhrmann used in that scene and the balcony scene are different and show different things. In the ball room scene the shots are straight forward, which suggests he is in control of how people see him. Then in the balcony scene most of the shots are close

    for many would seem like the most likely answer. However, both the Zeffirelli and Luhrmann versions follow the story closely and are relatively new. Some would argue that because they are more modern that they would be more effective. Even though all versions have their own strengths, the Luhrmann version from 1996 is the most effective because it tells the story in a way that kids today can understand. The Luhrmann version has many reasons as to why it is the most effective of the three versions

    rendition of the novel. Baz Luhrmann’s extravagant production of the classic ‘The Great Gatsby’ is filled with lavish visual displays, gaudy costuming and esteemed casting. However, behind the fame and opulence of this extravagant adaptation, Luhrmann fails to highlight the true eminence of the classic and is lost in the valley of ashes. Revered on the list of “100 Best Novels of the Twentieth Century” and fundamental virtue for educationalists, F. Scott Fitzgerald has successfully enlightened

    Baz Luhrmann version was the best well at least in my opinion. For one it had better graphics, better clothing and just better scenes. Like I said earlier it has some really good graphics and im not comparing it to every movies out there just one in specific and that’s the Franco Zeffirelli which does not have good graphics the other version. The Luhrmann had better raster graphics and looked way smoother. I don’t blame it though cause the other version was made little later than the Luhrmann version

    There are countless ways to interpret a Shakespeare play, particularly the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. In the 1996 adaptation, Romeo + Juliet, director Baz Luhrmann uses film techniques such as shadows, contrast between actors and background, the interruption of non-diegetic sounds with brief diegetic sounds, close-up shots, shots from varying angles, and cuts to different faces in order to show the similarity of Romeo and Juliet and the difficulties that lie ahead for their relationship. These

    Scott Fitzgerald’s novel, Luhrmann’s rendition of The Great Gatsby is as good of a representation of Fitzgerald’s story as a movie can get. As a whole, the movie captures virtually every scene that is in Fitzgerald’s novel with a few extra added by Luhrmann. The movie opens with a scene of Nick in a sanitorium, admitted for being “morbidly alcoholic”, which is different than how the book begins. This change in beginnings made total sense to me, as it shows how the East and the people who Nick had

    Luhrmann’s film adaptation. However, it differs slightly from the original as Jordan is used to demonstrate this arising tension. Luhrmann draws a lot of attention to this heat by the use of perspiration and the buckets of ice placed over the hotel room. The hum of the fan also creates an uncomfortable aura which hints to the audience that something bad is about to happen. Luhrmann uses this metalanguage to put an emphasis on Daisy’s difficult to choose between the person she claims to love, Gatsby and
