Romeo And Juliet Compare And Contrast
Romeo and Juliet
In my Englsih 1 Hnr's class we have been studying romeo and juliet we have watched the 1996 movie,2013 play ,1968 movie, in this paper i would like to tell you about them and compared and explain their differences. Romeo and Juliet is a very beautiful love story with a tragic ending but you know what they say all good things must come to an end.
The first thing we watched was the play which was made in 2013 this production was filmed in Broadway but it depicts Romeo and his Montague family with white actors, while Juliet and her Capulet family are depicted with black actors.

The 1996 version is held in the modern day urban city, and changes the viewpoint and perception of the play. The Zeffirelli version seems to be much more accurate to reenacting the play's setting because they filmed on a site with castles, and helped the viewer visualize what the play scene was like. The Luhrmann version changes the view of the play by having mansions instead of castles and streets instead of dirt roads.The two films are similar because they both capture the play's sad story, and they both leave out some parts of the play. Both films used the lines from William Shakespeare's play, and they had a common emotion of lines spoken in the play, and the scene where mercutio dies is similar because it is played off as a joke that Mercutio was hurt, but he really was they thought he was drunk or something and they laughed. The endings were different but both were effective in capturing the tragic end to Romeo and Juliet's
