Franco Zeffirelli and Baz Luhrmann present two very distinct versions of the iconic balcony s c e n e f r o m W i l l i a m S h a k e s p e a r e ’ s R o m e o a n d J u l i e t . O n e i n t e r e s t i n g s i m i l a r i t y i s i n t h e m u s i c a n d h o w i t helps the scene along. The costumes are also similar, with similar colors representing characteristics of their relationship. The scenery of the Zeffirelli version, even with it being more true to the story, better suits the relationship. Despite the similarities in the use of crescendos and decrescendos in the music to advance the two interpretations of the scene, and the symbolism behind the costume choices, the way in which Zeffirelli uses setting to portray Romeo and Juliet’s relationship is much more authentic. The music in both film versions advances the scene with crescendos into louder music at more intense parts of the scene, and decrescendos at quieter parts of the scene. The accompaniment does a great job of mirroring the dialogue, as well as the setting. In Luhrmann’s more modern version, contemporary piano is used, while in Zeffirelli's version, a medieval pan flute is used. Both of these adaptations made the music more conducive to the realisticness of the scene, and the relationship. Both Juliets in the scenes are wearing white dresses, symbolizing purity and innocence. Their long hair, worn loose, adds to this theme of naivety. Both Romeos, on the other hand, wear blue, symbolizing boldness,…

She can see through other people's disguises or flaws, that not even they are able to spot. Some characters are deceived about their true nature. An example of this is that Orsino sees himself becoming "one self same king" of Olivia's "sweet perfections", fulfilling her sexual desire, thought and feeling ("liver, brain and heart"). He naively believes that he is in love with Olivia when he has never really spoken with…

As I am waiting to get back to Earth I think about all of the stuff that has happened. Will my bones be okay? Will I actually see Nana? I guess I don’t really know until I get to Earth.

the level of storytelling and having the audience become emotionally invested in the outcome. The plot itself was very convincing, I would believe the two actors were truly in love as much as I would believe the feud between the families were true and real. Olivia Hussey played a very convincing role as Juliet, a young innocent demure teen who had been completely swept off her feet. Her mind,…
