Romeo and Juliet, and War Poetry Comparison Paper

How well does Baz Lurhmanns adaptation if the script show the theme of conflict? I signify Baz Lurhmanns adaptation of Romeo and Juliet strongly shows the theme of conflict throughout the entire film, in which it is retold for the modern viewers.Baz Lurhmann shows at the start of the film two sky high building with Montague and Capulet in bold lettering at the top, this shows how the two families have a lot of rivalry, such as in the business world of nowadayss society which a lot of people can relate to also the fact they ar both nearly at a war about something nobody knows anything about Ancient sexual conquest, I think this is the base point of the build up of conflict in the film. Lurhmann also utilise quite modern weapons such as guns and drugs which I think is easier for people to understand, as it is up to watch which world today.In nearly every shot in the film at that place is a gun which shows the sum total of tension and rivalry between everyone and how this leads into the conflicts. Also Lurhmann choose to represent the different houses in the form of gangs which a lot of people now days can understand in a sense which there is always a lot of conflict to protect yourself and your family name. I think Lurhmann has achieved exactly this in prompt 1 Scene 1. The conflict shown in this scene is incredible in a way in which it is brought up how something very small can lead into something big and cause a lot of injure and disruption.
