and special effects. In presenting Romeo and Juliet in films in both directors take certain liberties with the script, Zeffirelli omits lines in the dialogue, but stays pretty close to the plot, as also Luhbrmann. But Luhbrmann does delete some minor characters, and rearranges a few scenes to display the emotion and events of the main characters or dramatic purposes. The points in his movie, where this can be seen are the following: Tybalt's death, the scene cuts from Romeo avenging Mercutio's death (Act III, scene I) edited with Juliet's monologue of her love for Romeo (Act III, scene II). And the death of Romeo and Juliet, (Act III, scene III) where Juliet awakes before Romeo's death.Special effects are also used in Luhbrmann's film, in the following manner: both of Friar Lawrence monologues. (Act II, Scene II and Act Iv, Scene I) Luhbrmann use these to parts in the film a commercial explaining what is to come. In conclusion, Romeo and Juliet, is the perfect of Shakespeare plays to be done as a film, both filmmakers had different interpretation of the story. It is a film, which can reach the masses, everyone is familiar with it, and it is a great story....
