Comparison Between Act 3 Scene 1 in Franco Zeferelli's Romeo and Juliet and in Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet
I am going to compare the two pieces of 'Romeo and Juliet, Act 3 Scene
1' that I have been studying for the past few weeks. I have been
looking at; Camera shots, setting, special effects, moods, costumes,
characters, etc. These things are severely thought of by the director
before and during the making of the film.
I have been looking at Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet and Franco
Zeferelli's Romeo and Juliet.
The budget for Franco Zeferelli's film had a much smaller budget than
Baz Luhrmans did. This was because the film industry didn't really
want Romeo and Juliet to be brought out at that time. Whereas, Baz
Luhrman's version was much more appealing as younger people would want
to watch it. The result of this was that Franco Zeferelli had to cast
unknown actors.
Many interpretations of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet have come and
gone, two of the most famous are listed below:
· West Side Story by Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins - The musical tale
of Rivals, The Sharks and The Jets, being brought together by Tony
(Jet) and Maria's (Shark) love. In this interpretation there are a lot
of issues on racism.
· Romeo must die by Andrzej Bartkowiak - This hard - hitting film is a
war between a Japanese company on the docks and an African-American
company on the docks, fighting over land. In this situation, an
unlikely couple emerge (Han Sing and Trish O'Day).
There are many preferences to Romeo and Juliet in many different types

the Received Pronunciation. Baz Luhrman, on the other hand, gives his
characters casual, contemporary American. This is a very big
difference and the more recent version is a lot more welcoming to
younger and older people, giving it a wider range of audience.
Zefferelli's version is a lot more jovial than Luhrman's, e. g. When
Mercutio is stabbed he knows he's injured and makes puns about it in
Zefferelli's and in Luhrman's he makes jokes and a little later
realizes the extent to his injuries.
In conclusion, I have noticed not just big, but huge differences
between Franco Zefferelli's Romeo and Juliet and Baz Luhrman's Romeo
and Juliet. I prefer Baz Luhrman's offering, I usually like the
classic versions of things, but Franco Zefferelli's version just
didn't affect me as Baz Luhrman's did.

In Act II, Scene two the Balcony Scene where romeo and Juliet finally protest their love toward one another and see that they are in true love. This is one of the most important scenes because it show the love and a bond forming between the two young lovers. In the movie there were some differences and similarities.

Romeo and Juliet is a play about two adolescents—Romeo and Juliet from two hostile families fall in love with each other. This prohibited love ultimately turns into a romantic tragedy, in which they commit suicide for each other. Both Franco Zeffirelli’s (1968) and Baz Lurhmann’s (1996) versions retained the dialogues written by William Shakespeare in their movies. However, these two movies are directed in their own unique ways, which have several distinctive differences.

Romeo & Juliet has various interpretation with different input and similar input, in this essay I am comparing and contrasting how the scene of the ‘first meeting’ of Romeo and Juliet differentiates by the version. The first meeting of the two lovers is in my opinion one of the strongest meetings in the play. It is evident where the story will lead from that point.
Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet is a film that converts Shakespeare’s famous play into a present-day setting. The film transforms the original texts into modern notions, whilst still employing Shakespearean language. Compared to Franco Zeffirelli’s adaptation of Romeo and Juliet, Luhrmann’s picture is easier for a teenage audience to understand and relate to because of his modernisations. Despite the passing of four centuries Shakespeare’s themes of love, hate, violence, family and mortality remain the same regardless of the setting.
A Comparison of Two Film Versions of Act 3 Scene 5 of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Baz Lurhmann’s creation of the film Romeo and Juliet has shown that today’s audience can still understand and appreciate William Shakespeare. Typically, when a modern audience think of Shakespeare, they immediately think it will be boring, yet Lurhmann successfully rejuvenates Romeo and Juliet. In his film production he uses a number of different cinematic techniques, costumes and a formidably enjoyable soundtrack; yet changes not one word from Shakespeare’s original play, thus making it appeal to a modern audience.

Zeffirelli’s ultimate goal for his version of Romeo and Juliet was to capture Shakespeare’s original intentions for the play while targeting the teenage audience of his generation. Luhrmann’s intentions were different however; he changed the way an audience looks at Shakespeare’s masterpiece by modernising the props, costumes, and sets. Obviously, to match film time quotas Zefirelli and Luhrmann has both cut many lines out of the play.
