A short review of Director Baz Luhrmann's version of Romeo and Juliet called:- William Shakespeare's Romeo+ Juliet. In this piece of work my aim is to give a short review of Luhrmann's work. This film was released in 1996 and unlike the others that have tried to imitate Shakespeare's work Luhrmann tried a new approach. He set the film not in the time Shakespeare deemed it to be set but in a modern day setting. …showed first 75 words of 1233 total…

…showed last 75 words of 1233 total…the 'bad guy' loses and they all live happily after. The 'happily ever after' is why in 99percent of all films there is a love interest. Whether the love interest dies or not is not what the audience wants to see it is the love that they show each other when they are together like in Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (Luhrmann).
