Decent Essays
In the movies written by Baz Luhrmann and Zeffirelli, the differences between the two are that the version by Zeffirelli's is a little more old fashion than Baz Luhrmann. For example, in the version by Baz Luhrmann there is a pool and fancy house security. This example shows that it is just a little fancier than the other version plus a tad bit more modern. Another example is from the version by Zeffirelli, Juliet is up on a balcony with her nightgown on and the material and the style are very old fashion, as is the solid concert balcony that keeps her and her true love apart. In conclusion, the differences in the two movie are the time period that the director decided to set the movie

    In the Hunger Games, the most important similarities the movie shared with the book was making Peeta initiate the idea of him and Katniss being lovers. This is so significant because, without this, most of the main events in the book and movie would never have taken place. For one, this angle would have left Katniss to be just another face in the crowd, not making her stand out, which also meant fewer sponsors, decreasing her chances of survival. However, the most important reason for this is because Katniss would have left Peeta to die when he needed her the most and she would not have been able to plant the small seeds of defiance against the capital.
