Journal 3

One of my favorite movies that was adapted was Romeo and Juliet. The book was definitely more complicated to understand considering it was Shakespeare. However, the 90's remake gave the book a modern setting, one that people could relate to. The music and clothing was adapted but the classic Shakespeare lines were not. This contrast was something that really grabbed my attention. It allowed for a broader audience to appreciate and understand a classic. I think that it taught me that when trying to comprehend old classic works that are from a different era, to try to relate it to present day.
