How Does Baz Luhrmann Engage a Moders Audience's Interest That
The Baz Luhrmann version of Romeo and Juliet opens with prominent beginning which engages a modern audience by providing rock music at the start of the film. This rock music includes a strong base guitar and some heavy drums; appearing at the beginning but as the music progresses the whole band establishes a foot hold in the soundtrack, which builds up adrenalin within me. As the whole band is drawn in, this reflects what the young audience may in account. From a young audience's point of view, the rock music may lure more young audiences because this might possibly generate more adrenalin.

Elderly people who tend to go for the more classical music and young people totally the different. By Zefirelli's older adaptation, which commences from a more classical point of view, this signifies that classical tends to be much slower and composed. The plot in which the Zefirelli's version commences is like chalk and cheese compared to the setting in which the Baz Luhrmann version took place. Zefirelli's version takes place in a market area compared to Baz Luhrmann which proceeds in a modern petrol station. In the Baz Luhrmann's adaptation, they seem to be fighting with the use of modern day guns, and in the Zefirelli's version th
