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. Clearly Zeferelli made very …show more content…
One of the biggest ineffective choice was made, him leaving out the scene with Friar telling the two families the entire story of the “Five Day Romance” was a decision that negatively impacted the movie. In Shakespeare’s piece Romeo and Juliet a funeral was held for both Romeo and Juliet “The star crossed lovers” lying next to each other. With not much understanding of what happened the two teens Friar Laurence was the only one who knew all to the story. The Capulets thought Juliet was already dead so this was an n example of dramatic irony as the readers knew Juliet was still alive as she had taken the potion to make her seem dead. But Romeo and all the Capulets thought Juliet was dead. Although this time they were both actually dead. With no understanding from both sides Friar begins telling the tale from beginning to end before he begins talking he says “I will be brief for my short date of breath it’s not so long as is a tedious tale”(299) Friar got a lot of information out in few words. As the two families sink all of this shocking chain of events. It is realized that it was caused by them and only them because they couldn’t figure out how to end the feud as adults. Indirectly the two teen deaths were caused by them. They only realize this after hearing Friar’s summary. In Zeferellis version of the movie it is shown Friar running away from the tomb and never being seen again. This is clearly one of the biggest ineffective
In the story Romeo & Juliet, I believe that it could have ended differently. Say that Romeo cried just a little longer. Then Juliet would have woke up and they would just move on as planned. Or they could have just left in the first place not telling anyone so they wouldn't have to worry about faking their death or being seperated. Lastly if Romeo didn't kill Tybalt then the two families wouldn't have went to the prince and they wouldn't have to worry about the prince finding out that it was Romeo that killed Tybalt and that Romeo's life would be on the line.
Luhrmann uses lighting more effectively than Zeffirelli to portray the mood and emotions in the story of Romeo and Juliet. To begin with, Zeffirelli’s use of lighting is very weak in his version of the movie, as he does not change the lighting to suit the characters behaviors and the overall feeling of the movie at the time. For example, during the fight scene where Tybalt fights Mercutio the lighting does not change, the light remains clear and bright even after Mercutio dies. This shows that lighting in Zeffirelli’s version is not as powerful as the lighting does not reflect on the characters and how they are acting but just as a light source so you could see what's happening in the movie. On the other hand, Luhrmann’s use of lighting was
In the play The Tragedies Of Romeo And Juliet written by Shakespeare, the film made my Zeffirelli is more closely related because of where the scene takes place. In the playwright, this scene in Act 3, Scene 5 starts off with Lady Capulet telling Lord Capulet of Juliet's reaction to her newly announced marriage. Which is the same in Zeffirelli’s film that shows the scene taking place in the stairway nearest to Juliet’s room (3.5.115-135). However this is not the way the scene starts in the other film by Luhrmann in which Lord Capulet hears of the news by walking into Juliet's room and overhearing the conversation between Juliet and her mother. Also, in the playwright the text states, “Lady Capulet enters” then later on “Capulet and Nurse enter”
Romeo and Juliet is a famous play, written by 16th century English poet, play wright and actor, William Shakespeare. There have been several adaptions of this, portrayed in many different forms, as modern interpretations of the timeless classic. One well known conversion is a film, created by the Italian director Franco Zeffirelli in 1968, which remains largely true to the original text written by William Shakespeare, however does make some alterations based on his own perception of the original text.
I feel that Franco Zeffirelli’s version of Romeo and Juliet maintained the original setting better than Baz Luhrmann. For Example, in Zeffirelli’s version, Juliet was on a balcony or deck just like the actual play of Romeo and Juliet. He also had Juliet on the balcony and Romeo on the ground speaking up to her. Luhrmann’s version had them in a pool, that they fell into, when they tripped over each other. In the pool is where they had their conversations. I understand that Luhrmann’s version is supposed to be
Romeo and Juliet was written about 421 years ago and is still one of the most famous love stories in literature today. Zeffirelli’s film was produced in 1968, only 48 years ago. The film was made 373 years after William Shakespeare’s play, yet Zeffirelli was able to capture the essence of various themes from the play. The theme of Act II scene ii from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet was best represented in the film.
In Renata Adler’s critique of Franco Zeffirelli’s film, “Romeo and Juliet,” based on William Shakespeare’s tragic play of the same name, Adler claimed that the movie “is a lovely, sensitive, friendly popularization of the play.” Furthermore, she alluded to the film as one that “should become the thing for young people to see.” Adler’s statements, to put it bluntly, were totally invalid. The motion picture was extremely distant from the incredible representation of the play that Adler depicted in her article, due to three main things.
Love is powerful, bringing both joy and harm. Romeo and Juliet are two unlucky lovers that had to see the dangerous side of love. Two children from opposing families fall madly and irrationally in love. They run away, but Juliet is supposed to marry Paris. The plot is to escape by pretending Juliet is dead by using a potion, reviving her, and running away but the plan doesn't work and they kill themselves because they can't live without one another. In this play the setting plays an important role because the setting can be an extremely impact of a movie and even become a part of the story. It's the setting for all that is to come and even if it's one set on stage, it can convey so much about who the people are and the way they live. In telling
Romeo and Juliet Comparison The Zeffirelli film is a much better representation of Romeo and Juliet because of many reasons such as a far more realistic setting of the play and the mood being a lot closer to the one portrayed in the play. The settings of the play have very little in common mostly because of the differences of when the movies were made. In the Zeffirelli film, there are more objects in the scene that look more like what was intended when Shakespeare wrote the plays such as the apple trees that are mentioned by Romeo saying, “That tips with silver all these fruit-tree tops--.”
The story of Romeo and Juliet has characters that make the outcome of the play, these characters are the people that could have changed some of the events that took place in this tragic story. Two characters who could have done a lot to change the ending were Romeo and Juliet themselves, as well as Friar Lawrence. Most of the characters did have some impact on how the play concluded. But these characters made the biggest difference. During the play there are a lot of moments when the relationship between Juliet and Friar Lawrence are shown. This is also shown with Romeo as well. From the book to the movie different personalities and relationships between characters are shown making it possible to see the story in different ways.
Romeo is the lover in the story and hates to fight and always try's to stop people from fighting.

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.
As a child, I used to be very open and told my mom and friends everything of what was going on in my mind. Since my father’s death, as years went by, I started to close up more. Juliet has a hard time explaining her emotions to her parents because she fears criticism from them and feels as if they won’t understand. Parents do critique their children and often, they don’t always understand.
