The idea that infatuation can develop so quickly is an interesting one and one that is explored in both the play and the film
It is interesting because an audience can contemplate the nature of infatuation and decide whether or not such feelings are wise or foolish.

Luhrmanns film captures this idea and keeps it interesting for a contemporary film audience. In the corresponding scene, Luhrmann underscores the action with action and romantic non-diegetic music to enhance the idea young love. The casting of young actors further develops this idea. The setting becomes highly symbolic in this scene. The pool being a symbol of life and energy and the Romanesque mansion acting as a visual metaphor, bringing the old text into a new medium. Close-up shots are used prominently in tis scene to capture the pyous looks on the actors' faces. In this scene it would seem as though looks on the actor's faces. In this scene it would seem as though Luhrmann at least, believes in the idea of young infatuation and the universal nature of young love and in following one's heart and desires, in such a way he keeps this idea interesting.

    This essay talks about the role of love as it used in Shakespeare’s comedies. It directly talks about “Much Ado about Nothing” and “Twelfth Night”, and how they use love in their stories. “Shakespeare expects us to accept wonder as having some kind of value in itself and in its relations to the action that has gone before. We are presented with the wonderful as an incitement to knowledge and to pleasure; and we are asked also to consider the dramatic fact that those who participate in the happy ending must be ready to set aside their human confinement to the probable and accept an intrusion of the improbable into their lives.” (262-263) Wonder and love are on equal footing in Shakespeare. He expects us to accept that the characters fall in love with each other as well. Love is a vital part of every romantic comedy whether it’s a play written by Shakespeare or a movie like “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”. The essay also makes a note of how the characters change through the plays and compares how it works in both stories. The author of the essay…

    Comparing the plot and the play, I was able to see a parallel to some very basic human emotions and dispositions such as unrequited love, deception, and lies. Once the actual story was revealed I was able to gather a myriad of human experiences and see that they are still relevant and prevalent to me in the twenty first century; to list a few, religious prosecution, adultery, deception and scams, mob mentality, love, mankind evilness towards one another, pride, and…

    The play “A Midsummer Night 's Dream”, by William Shakespeare and the film version directed by Michael Hoffman relate to the same plot, but were created over four centuries apart. Shakespeare’s play was written in 1593-1594 while Hoffman’s film was produced in 1999. The play and movie used love as the main theme with clever literature and magic. Even though both the play and the movie had identical structure, such as characters and plot, Shakespeare’s play was transformed in Hoffman 's movie in order to appeal to the modern audience.…

    Lurhmann successfully portrays the idea of belonging and self-identity through the use of symbolism. The red curtains in the opening sequence symbolise that the world of ballroom dancing is a world of theatre and performance. The Dancers are all living in a fake world; they are not true to themselves except Fran. Fran is the only character that is living a natural and true world whilst other characters are unrealistic and wear exaggerate costumes, hairstyles, and make-up. The audience are soon portrayed that the dancers live in a world of pressure and competition where to win; they must obey the rules of others, such as Barry Fife. It is a world in which individuality and creativity are thrown away in the desire to win. Lurhmann successfully shows the audience that Fran does not simply belong to this world.…

    , cited by Stone, 2013). The film has a critical reception, which censures the selfish of middle upper class. Corresponding, it is a surrealist film and focused upon inner and outer realities at the same time (Radall, 1976:4). I am going to analyze the sequence from the mid-way of the whole film, which was the scene of the party, and discuss technical concepts (mise-en-scène, cinematography and sound) used in this sequence.…

    Crucial scenes, like the fountain scene, lay building blocks for future situations that occur. This scene, in part one of the film portrays Robbie Turner and Cecilia Tallis, who grew up together in the idyllic surrounding of the Tallis house in Surrey, arguing over a valuable Tallis vase that had accidentally been broken by Robbie. The dialogue, “move in different circles” implies that although they went up to Cambridge together (there being no mixed colleges at Cambridge until forty years later), they were separated by a much more fundamental divide. Cecilia was of upper class and Robbie was a Tallis household maid. The use of mid shots, wide and close up shots emphasise the mixture of irritation, showing off and contempt underlie Cecilia her undressing to her undergarments and retrieving the piece of Meissen vase that had fallen into the fountain. It is important to note Robbie’s misunderstanding; he wants to help her but does not realise what she is doing mirrors Briony’s behaviour later on in the film, in that the young thirteen year old had subconscious prejudice that Robbie was not a suitable partner for Cecilia and that prison would keep him out of the way. The broken vase is symbolic of the lives that would be destroyed later in the…

    Romance can cause both men and women to act frivolously, which makes the difference between love and lust difficult to distinguish. The desire of another human being leads to irrational thought and actions. Sometimes one will create sensations of love where no love exists. As demonstrated in both William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Giovanni Boccaccio’s The Decameron, and Po Hsing-Chien’s The Story of Miss Li one may create feelings of love in order to overcome a recent or persisting tragedy.…
