Modern world presents the old worldDo you like using modern customs in Romeo and Juliet? Or does it degrades the classical value of this movie?
Romeo and Juliet (1996) is the movie that uses all modern styles such as cloths, hair styles,songs, etc to replace the original custom in the very past. Anyway, one thing that the director still preserves in this movie is the classical way of characters’ talking.
I think it is a very effective way to invite young people in this generation who are not interested in old literature because of the hardship of understanding complicated poems to see it.
There are modern styles of summer cloths for beach boys.Cool sport cars are used to replace horses. Beautiful guns can be substitutes for swords. Modern songs such as cardigans’s love fool are used to support the modern style.
All of theses can capture attention of young people very well. They can feel like it’s the world they live in and they can share the same feeling in the story.Morever,it doesn’t spoil the classical theme of the original story.
