Of Being a virgin viewer of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet‚ I found myself dissatisfied as I began to see the famous balcony scene reveal itself on the courtyard floor. “Where is the barrier‚ the ‘stony limits’ that separates the lovers from each other?” I inquired.

help of sound effects‚ costumes‚ and visual movements. Undoubtedly‚ both Zeffirelli and luhrmann have majorly had the sound effects of their movies to support their conflict scenes. Zeffirelli had used the orchestra to create a dramatic tension for the viewers or the clanks of the swords as they clashed together moments before the death of Tybalt as he fought with Romeo‚ similarly the sound effects luhrmann had used were the rap music to give off the gangster vibe of danger or the gunshots between

Interpretation of Literature 6 December 2013 The Great Gatsby: Luhrmann v. Fitzgerald From super evildoer Tom Buchanan‚ to a modernistic‚ rap party‚ the Great Gatsby‚ directed by Baz Luhrmann‚ contrasts the written version of the Great Gatsby by F.

In William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet‚ Juliet’s cousin Tybalt is portrayed as an aggressive character who despises all who belongs to the House of Montague.
