Romeo and Juliet is a play that conforms to the context of the tragedy, it is about a tragic love story that coincides with a couple of unfortunate admirers of families rivals. Subsequently, the work was illustrated in films, plays and novels. One of the many films (Romeo and Juliet) was directed by Baz Luhrmann and the original play was written and directed by William Shakespeare. In this essay I will analyze the juxtaposition between the two. One of the two scenes I will examine is the "balcony scene"; is the second scene of Act 2. In this scene, Shakespeare attempts to portray a charming and sweet Romeo, “It is the east and Juliet is the sun,” which represents Romeo's feelings for Juliet. Furthermore, it is deciphered that Juliet Shakespeare emphasizes this context by writing “I will be new baptized” provoking the audience to produce an opinion of Romeo regarding his availability and desperation for his love. On the other hand Luhrmann goes further by showing that Romeo is willing to baptize (literally), this is shown when they fall into the water. Although this is not clear because when they fall into the water the dialogue is not complete. Therefore, the audience would feel frustrated towards Juliet for not accepting Romeo, as as a result he is trying to win Juliet over and also even baptized her. From my observation, Luhrmann and Shakespeare's scenes differ because Luhrmann exploits his scene in a way that has more effect on the audience because it includes reality-inducing religious factors, such as the visual metaphor of baptism. However, Shakespeare shows the scene in simple words which diminish the effect it has on Shakespeare portrayed Romeo in this recognition to show that he is enraged; he is furious with Tybalt. It also illustrates (indirectly) that Romeo is beginning to change; he is no longer the helpful and kind character he once was; it is the inauguration of a vicious and ferocious individual, who affects sadness among the audience. In Luhrmann's Romeo it is not said, but it is vividly represented in Romeo's eyes; He's driving recklessly. We can visualize his eyes full of sadness and resentment. The audience will feel that Romeo has developed a lot as he is now combative, also a hint of sinister can be vividly perceived from his eyes. The audience would prefer Luhrmann's scene as it is depicted with emotions and movements, rather than words. Furthermore, this has a greater impact on the audience because sometimes we can recognize the characters' characters more through their body
