An_Adaptation_Of_Romeo_And_Juliet

An Adaptation Of Romeo And Juliet The Adaptation of Romeo & Juliet William Shakespeare used his remarkable talent to delight his audiences for over 400 years. Of his many splendid plays, perhaps none is more popular than “Romeo and Juliet”, the timeless tale of a pair of star-crossed lovers and their family strife. There have been many movie adaptations of this world’s most tragic love affair, but none had brought out the true passion of the story as successfully as Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 “William Shakespeare’s Romeo + Juliet”. This film is an amazing feat of imagination. The characters speak Elizabethan verse, but the setting has been shifted from the chivalrous, swashbuckling sixteenth century Verona to the twentieth-century “Verona Beach” of tropical heat and lethal competition. Luhrmann’s film provides the audiences with an excellent example of the themes of family conflict and ill-fated love, particularly in Act 3 Sc.1, when Romeo is banished from Verona, and Act 1 Sc.5, when the star-crossed lovers initially met. This will be proven by examining the scenes through a look at the changes of cinematography, language, music and plot of this outstanding adaptation of the world most well-known love story. Act 3 Sc.1 is about unnecessary deaths and family strife.
