would shakespeare..?


Would Shakespeare like the new version of his story? Personally, I think he wouldn't like the new version. Why? He might think that there are too many distractions and other things to pay attention to besides the point of the whole story.. the love between Romeo and Juliet. Some distractions I'm talking about are the way people dress in the film, the cars, and the drastic change in time periods which makes EVERYTHING different from the original novel. I think Shakespeare would still think that the love that Romeo and Juliet have between each other has the same feel and meaning, but it's just harder to interpret this in the film, rather than just reading the play.
Yep, that's my opinion. What do you all think :)?
