In the film we are watching the film maker changes a lot of elements from olden days features to modernised features. In this blog I will be telling you some features of how we interrupt them. One of them are that they change daggers and swords to guns , which are used in real fife right now. Another one is the setting in the film is different, in the book it’s set in Verona Italy where Shakespeare wanted his film to be set, but in the film it’s set in Mexico because in Mexico now they are still having street fights. Also in the film, Tybalt dies by having a sword fight but in the film, Romeo crashes with Tybalt in a car crash then shots him twice. Also the Price of the scene was actually the police chief.

You’ve gathered a lot of thoughtful ideas about how the film interprets the play. I also like how you’ve taken the time to explain this in some detail.
I’m sure you’ll fix up the spelling and sentence issues with this entry – they were just quick notes taken while watching the film after all!
It will be interesting to see whether you like these interpretations or whether you think they detract from the play.
