Romeo and Juliet can be interpreted in many different ways, even though it follows the same script. Franco Zeffirelli’s Romeo and Juliet and Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet are similar in many ways, however they also differ significantly. Both films are based on Shakespeare’s play and have used the language in which Shakespeare originally wrote the play. However, in Baz Luhrmann’s version, some lines have been cut. Both films provide very different perspectives on Shakespeare's text because of the different eras in which they were set.
For example, Franco Zefferelli produced his film in 1968, and Baz Luhrmann produced his in 1997. Both films provided very different perspectives on Shakespeare's text because of the eras they were set in. The symbolism and imagery in both films were very different because of this factor. Zefferelli’s film remains faithful to Shakespeare’s original play, whereas Luhrmann made a more modern version of it. Zefferelli didn’t change the play much; it was aimed at people who wanted a film that was basically the same as the play, but with better scenery and cuts.
Opposite of a book is a movie. In a movie you see and accept the story, characters, and setting the way director presents it to you. There were many noticeable significant differences between a book and a movie based on that same book. One can only see the difference, if you read and watch the movie. “Joe Gould’s Secret” is a nonfiction story written by Joseph Mitchell, and a movie based on this book is also called “Joe Gould’s Secret” directed by Stanley Tucci.
Unfortunately Shakespeare’s plays have been subject to change and scrutiny throughout the years. When the play was first being performed the representations were different than they are today as males played both parts of Romeo & Juliet. The plays representation was changed when women were finally allowed on stage after some changes to the culture and society. Even Hollywood filmmakers have done a remake of Romeo & Juliet in which the movie isn’t even set in old English times but rather in modern day. William Shakespeare’s play Romeo & Juliet has remained the same as its message transcends time, yet its representation has changed as English society has changed.
Thesis statement: In the play Everyman the author presents death as one of the Lord's messengers, his message is that the time for accountability has come. This is in contrast to many other contemporary plays and literary works. Introduction: In the play Everyman the author presents death as one of the Lord's messengers which is in contrast to many other contemporary plays and literary works.

These two lines of action are eternally intertwined and entirely dependent on each other – the story’s plot will not reach one goal without reaching the other. While the film seems to be consistent with many of the elements that characterized classical Hollywood movies, there are also several aspects in which Possession departs from the classical system of narrative and style. The most obvious and withstanding constituent is the way that time is portrayed. The entire movie is, essentially, two movies that alternate when their scenes will be shown. Scenes jump from present-day London to scenes from a medieval English village but the separate stories each help to piece together parts of the other story.
Death of a Salesman Movie Critique In many cases, when a book is produced into a film, the director may make a lot of changes that can take away from book. In the film, “Death of a Salesman” directed by Volker Schlondorff, there were barely any changes made. Watching the movie helped me to understand and grasp the characters personalities portrayed in the play by Arthur Miller. In the play Willy was described as a lost and confused salesman who struggled with his inner self. Dustin Hoffman played the character of Willy and he really captured Willy’s passion and relationships with everyone he encountered.
Original Novels and Film Adaptions As an avid fan of both movies and books, I often find myself wondering whether or not to buy the book after I’ve seen the movie, or vice versa. I’ve seen some terrible film adaptations and some really good ones, and some that have nothing in common except the characters’ names and the titles, but are both enjoyable in their own way. On the whole, I think I like reading an original novel better than watching its film adaption because the original novels were created by the person who knows them best. The personalities of characters may be changed and become different between the novels and the movies. The movies don’t even come close to how the books portray the characters vividly.
Perfume. Although having a simple two syllable title, it is a rather intricate, entrancing and engrossing movement that is turned into both film and novel, that leaves the reader and watcher moved. Although the storyline of Perfume is the same in both movie and book there are many differences that are present and observed in both, some large, some small. These differences and similarities allow Perfume to capture an essence that is different in both book and film, major differences being listed below; these including: Omissions, Additions, Adaptions and Characterisations. Perfume has many emphasising changes within the plot, many oversights and omissions of scenes from the film as well as sections from the novel; some obvious and large, others small and minor.
Hamlet’s Madness In the play Hamlet, by Shakespeare, the main character Hamlet, battles with struggles during the play. He goes through changes of his father’s death, his mother’s re-marriage to her dead husband’s brother, seeing a ghost of his father, the girl he loves having a father who makes her believe that she can’t love him, and living through is step-father trying to have him killed. In the play, it is thought that he goes mad due to all the lost love of Ophelia and the pressures that he is presented with throughout. Moreover, during all of this, he is also claimed mad because of the way he acts and talks around the king and general public. However, this is not the only type of type of play or drama in which the main character acts crazy or mad in order to enact revenge upon someone to avenge someone or just to purely gain revenge for some personal purpose.
