Book vs film




The story of the Romeo and Juliet.
In the school I have read this book and after I see the film: Romeo + Juliet.

But the book and the film they have many differences.
The basic differences are:
The first and the most important difference is the situation of the story. The book is in the Middle Ages and in the movie is in modern life. Other difference are the places. They are very different since in the whole book is located in Verona, in the streets and home of the protagonists but in the film this changes. The story is located in Miami, almost everything happens on the beach or modern place. Also another dissimilarity is that the weapons used in the book are the simple medieval swords and change in the movie are guns of all kinds. In the book that would be the modern version of the story everything is a little changed since the clothes, means of transport even the appearance of the characters so that everything is more current. One of the significant things different in the movie is that all good deeds are reflected in the water is a symbol of peace and tranquility, however all the bad times are reflected in the flames, the fire that are the symbols of evil and danger. The difference in the argument is that in the book Romeo and Juliet never are alive and  together in the grave and change in the movie if they are together in some time before they die in the church. One very important thing is that in the book the narrator is in third person and change in the movie is Romeo himself who tells the story.
These are the differences between the book and the movie. I have to say the movie that I did not liked but I do believe that the actors are very good. The book I liked it. What strikes me is that the movie and the book have the same vocabulary he wrote William Shakespeare.
