Compare+and+Contrast+Movies

Romeo and Juliet, the famous story that has been made into two movies; our class was able to watch these two movies in class. They had the same story line, about love. There were many similarities that were mentioned in the movies and my prompt. However, since these were created at different times, there were some concepts that were contradicted to each other.

These two movies and my prompt refer to the same topic, and so there were of course, many similarities that has been made. There was a basic similarity in which was Romeo and Juliet falling in lovec. When Romeo sneaks in, they have a conversation “outside” of Juliet’s house. While they were talking in the balcony, the two movies and my prompt mentioned about a danger that they face. Their feelings towards each other were always the same; for Zeffereli’s movie and my prompt had similar ways of expressing. For example, we both had in common that Romeo was very dramatic. Romeo is very brave towards love in which was mentioned in my prompt and the movies. He expressed his bravery by trying to make him noticed by others. Also, there was a very common one that was mentioned in the three story lines; and that was kissing. I thought that there were going to be a lot of kissing scenes, and both of the movies had many kissing scenes also. There is nothing that can stop him in order for him to love Juliet. They were eager about their love, and they were very expressive about how they love each other. Since Zeffereli’s and mine followed the exact story line of Shakespeare’s, we had a lot of expressions that were similar to each other. However, there are some contradictions that are made with these movies. I personally think that Juliet from both of these movies have a different personality. From Zeffereli’s movie, Juliet was very willing in order to meet with Romeo while the other one had Juliet as being worried and not as excited because of the guards that might catch Romeo. My prompt usually followed the concept of Zeffereli’s; I usually showed that Juliet was happy to see Romeo in which is very similar to the movie. As it was mentioned, they both faced danger, but in a different way. Where they were located was also different. Since the other movie was a modern version of Romeo and Juliet, they went into the pool in order to communicate; while Zeffereli’s were setted on the balcony like it was in the real “Romeo and Juliet.” The modern one has more technological advancement; Juliet arrives to the pool by taking an elevator, the guard watches out for strangers by a monitor, and Romeo’s friends take a car while Romeo was trying to run away from them. Zeffereli’s one usually focused more on the real “Romeo and Juliet” background. Romeo was hiding under the trees, Juliet was actually wondering around the balcony, the maid calls Juliet, and other factors that were mentioned in the real story. While Juliet was wondering around the balcony, Zeffereli’s movie had Juliet being very dramatic of how she wanted Romeo and I also expressed that too in my prompt. However, the other movie had Juliet not as much being dramatic but being very quiet and calm.
