A 5 page paper comparing of William Shakespeare's original play Romeo and Juliet with the 1996 version directed and produced by Baz Luhrmann. This paper compares the film and the play to determine whether the film reflects an updated version of Shakespeare's original theme, or something else altogether. It concludes that Baz Luhrmann's world view is nihilistic, pessimistic and depressing, completely foreign to anything Shakespeare intended. Bibliography lists six sources.
