Views on Baz Luhrman’s Adaptation of Romeo and Juliet

Capulet my name is anonymous. My topic for the IOP is based on the film Romeo and Juliet by B Luhrmann . I am overtaking to impersonate William Shakespeare with a monologue where I shall speak aloud my views on Baz Luhrmans adaptation of my text. When I wrote this carry I was attracting a crowd with very orthodoxed thnking . the idea of two young lovers going against the society merely for lust was intolerable hence in my book they died 4 days into their courtship. Death was their punishment for going against the knomes of the society. my book was a matchless with a serious message put forth to the reader.Where as the moving-picture show which was adapted frm my text seems to be moulded inorder to attract an audience with a very open prospect mindset who prefer entertainment over moral values. It had a many humourous faces ,mercutio dressing up like a girl and dancing at the capulets party,which the redbrick crowd would enjoy much. The main objective of the this movie was to m ake money,which was done by mocking at my well known novel of romeo and Juliet.. adapting their movie from my book must have been a huge advantage for them as tthey wouldnt have needed any script or a new bosh which has the risk of being disliked by the audience. hey just changed the costumes and situations into redbrick day ones which will obviously entertain the audience as they picture romeo as a young teenager in the days of old and not wearing a suit and smoking a cigarette on the beach.. the movie has a many differnces compared to the book in order to make the film more entertaining. in my book Juliet was 14 years old notwithstanding in the movie Juliet doesnt appear to be 14 at all. the movie makers changed this aspect of the book in their movie in order to make the scenes expressing lust more entertaining for the crowd.But the reason I had Juliet to be so young in the book was to highlight fact that her actions were all justified by the fact that she was immature. The cos tumes of the actors in the movie were very western and commonly worn by the people of the new measures. in my book they were meant to be dress the way the people did during the time of the book being published. instead of wearing the olden day clothes characters like benvolio were wearing hawaian shirts and romeo was dressed in a suit smoking a cigarette on the beach . scenes like this werent common to see in days when I wrote the book.Instead of actually s word of honors the charactes threatened each other with shinning pistols with the word sword carved on them. this aspect of the movie killed the seriousness as in the opening scene the capulets pointed a pistol at the montagues and ordered him to levy his sword. How will two people have a dramatic fight holding two pistols against each other? In my book this scene was supposed to be a dramatic fight . The royal prince was replaced by a police official to make the movie more relative to the modern world.The reason my book had a royal prince was to highlight he fact that these two lovers were going against the will of the highest authority. the movie portrayed the same situation but the police official replacing the prince is another example which I saw where barz luhrman has presented a change in the film for it to be resembling a modern tonus situation. In two offices of the capulets and the montagues were shown in the film as tall skyscrapers where as my book was geographically set in Verona which is supposed to be a petty(a) and silent town. During the time when I wrote this book ,writers and producers would only produce works which gave some hints to make the viewers or readers to ponder over certain real(a) life situations. but I guess times have changed and so has the mindset and the taste of the audience. they seem to enjoy mockeries instead of eye openers I feel barz luhrman has not been faithful to my text while depicting it as a mmovie because the movie simply mocks at the text if I had an op tion to create a film depicting my text it would have been very different not changing any scenes for it to be enjoyed by the modern crowd.
