Franco Zeffili’s Film Version of Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet is a play about two young adults that fall in love with each

other. The only thing that is holding these tow lovers back is the feuding

between the two families.

“Was Franco Zeffili’s film version of the play “Romeo and Juliet an improvement

over Shakespeares play?” Yes, Franco Zeffelli’s film was an improvement over

Shakespeares play because he changed the dialogue a little, he made the location

better, and the Tybalt and Romeo duel was action packed.

I really liked the real elaborate scenery in the movie. I liked all the nice

looking buildings. I also liked the scenery because it was real open and right

in the center of the city.

Franco Zeffelli really added a lot to the great battle scene between Romeo and

Tybalt. In the actual play the fight sounded stupid and it seemed like it

barely lasted a minute. In the movie the fight scene was great because it was a

long fierce fight.

Franco Zeffelli’s film was a great improvement over Shakespeares play. He made

it better by taking out some of the boring dialogue. He changed the scenery

around a lot. The fight scene was a lot better also. Over all the film was

twice as good as the play.
