Romeo and Juliet

Last term we read Romeo and Juliet in this class.The film is only an adaptation of the play the movies, and what We can not expect it to be identically equal to the original, the film so much interest in me, because they are two different ways of seeing the same story. There are scenes in the movie were impossible to get, because it would be like in the end if it had appeared the Count Paris in the tomb of Juliet as happens in the book had lost the thread that carries the film and had not been that ending so tragic and romantic, it's the same in other scenes where you remove or add things in the book, but that is unimportant, because the original scheme is the same. The city of Verona is hosting the events in both versions, with one big difference between the two, which is that one was written in 1595 and the other was shot very late twentieth century. Surely the film director had no problems with the story, because it is a story that would fit perfectly in our society full of hatred and love. The story is the same and wants to convey is the same, whether in the sixteenth century Verona or in the late twentieth century. The clothes are very different from one era to another and this has been seen in the film. What the film has done is make the characters of ancient and contemporary Verona and put us and our and us believe that these stories also exist and are not just part of the imagination of a man who at one point wrote a story about two star-crossed lovers.
