1,013 wordsOut with the Old and in With the New The success of both the traditional and modern movie versions of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet are dictated by their settings. The traditional version of this legendary love story was filmed in 1968 and is set in the 1600's, placing the characters in the time period from which the story was derived.

Emma Thompson Version Edward
1,012 wordsThe novel Sense and Sensibility was truly a masterpiece. Written by Jane Austen this ironic love story has captured the heart of readers for years. The popularity of Austen as a novelist can now be experienced through film. This book has been adapted into various screenplays, including one by Emma Thompson.

First there is the Disney version Cinderella. Secondly we will look at the movie "Ever After". Characterization is an important...

Modern Version
472 wordsThe most important purpose for adopting a Shakespearean play to film is showing the action and the real emotion of the play. I feel the Dicaprio version fulfills this purpose better than the Zeffereli version for the following reasons.

When I say the modern version is more entertaining I mean that it is far more ca...

Film And The Novel The Boys
567 wordsComparison Between Lord Of The Flies Film And Novel Many novels have tried to adopt the idea of their story on to a film, such as the novel Lord Of The Flies. It is apparent that in most cases the novel is more successful than the film, since it has a greater capability to attract the readers attention by using literally devices such as symbolism, and meaningful events through out the story. I believed that the novel Lord Of The Flies was far more superior to the film Lord Of The Flies, because ...

Versions Of The Film
