Film Review of Romeo & Juliet (1996) Directed by Baz Lurhmann

With Romeo & Juliet, director Baz Luhrmann has attempted to create a fresh, naked as a jaybird and modern take on a dated classic. He achieves this very well ? even managing to use the original deal ? and captures a younger audience than would previously fox been anticipate to take to a Shakespeargon adaptation.

With these splashes of colour and fleeting shots comes, in my opinion, a loss of Shakespearian influence and the romance seems slightly suffocated.

As a film review, this is pretty nifty - it certainly does its job. This probably wouldnt suffice if you were looking for thick(p)er analysis however. solely as it stands, a pretty good job.

You have explained and analysed the grassroots concepts of the movie however as stated before you are missing many elements in the movie for a deep analysis this includes the constant recurrence of the holy cross and the iterate uses of water which symbolises for purity and purifying of the soul which is associated with baptism. So you could say Religion is one of the important themes in Baz Lurhmanns version of Romeo and Juliet. general Good Job Keep up the good cypher!!!!
