Romeo and Juliet - Movie vs. Book :: Movie Film comparison compare contrast

Romeo and Juliet - Movie vs. Book   Often times people say that William Shakespeare was and still is a legend.  They are correct.  It is amazing how Shakespeares play Romeo and Juliet scripted centuries ago tramp be better than Franco Zefferellis movie production of Romeo and Juliet, which had much better technology to work with only decades ago. Although the movie appeared better, it left out well-nigh major parts.  The play had better mood and plot details which made it much more dramatic and by far a better presentation.   mavin major end between the play and the movie occurs in mood.  An example of this is the marriage scene.  In the marriage scene of the play, Romeo and Juliet act very serious.  The reader can tell this by the authority the two speak. Romeo says that the Holy Words the mendicant speaks can make something without an equal (Act II, Scene 6, Line 4) which is a very healthy thing to say. Whereas, in the movie they k iss and giggle the entire time.  This leads the viewer to believe that Franco Zefferelli wanted the two to look like fools, that they could not do anything the way it is normally done be name they are children in search of quick love.  This is bad because it is not very realistic.  In real-life, young adults would take the matter seriously because they feel it is a major step in life.  Because the play is not entirely trying to make the two look bad, it is the better production.   Another major difference in the mood of the play and the movie is in the funeral scene.  The funeral scene of the play is a very serious event.  Juliets family is very upset and think that they are the cause of her death.  Also, the Friar soothes the family of the loss of young Juliets life (Act IV, Scene 5, Line 65).  However, in the movie version of the funeral scene, again everyone is sad but this time the Friar lets out a giggle as he pretends to pray for Juliet.  This is a major difference because if someone had seen the Friar giggle, it may have changed the entire play.  They may have questioned him why he giggled but since
