The Baz Luhrmann version of Romeo and Juliet opens with prominent beginning which engages a modern audience by providing rock music at the start of the film. This rock music includes a strong base guitar and some heavy drums; appearing at the beginning but as the music progresses the whole band establishes a foot hold in the soundtrack‚ which builds up adrenalin within me. As the whole band is drawn in‚ this reflects what the young audience may in account. From a young audience’s point of view‚ the

three versions of Romeo and Juliet had many similarities and differences.

Overall‚ Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of the great Gatsby was great‚ but as all adaptations‚ it had its faults and its strengths during production. The song “100$ bill” by Jay Z for instance‚ was not incorporated well as I do not believe that rap in a way was like jazz in Gatsby’s period.
