She is dressed in a ball dress which is not fancy, and the setting is not filled with lavish elements. In the Capulet ball scene in the play, Juliet is dressed moderately but smartly. Whereas in the play Shakespeare focuses on the romantic side of the play and does not portray Juliet as a symbol or desire. The displays of fruit and wine, vibrant fabrics lit archways and lavish red dress all point to Juliet's sexuality. In this scene, Juliet is an active character. In the Capulet ball scene, the 1968 Zeffirelli version portrays the expression of desire from Juliet. In the movie, the scenery is correct according to the description provided within the text of Romeo and Juliet. In Zeffirelli's movie, he uses counter-culture to portray the intended message by Shakespeare. The play was acted during the 16th century, so it is obvious it was basic which includes decors and costumes and simple backgrounds. Most of the scenes are set as a result of technological advancements resulting from the difference in time of the productions and cultural setting of the times. He again used fresh new faces to portray the roles of the characters in the play and not superstars to give the movie a more current innocence value.
That gives a clear picture of how the play is set.
The play is the most filmed and its universal themes remain uniquely and adaptable for any period.įranco Zeffirelli bases his movie in the 16th century, unlike other movie directors. In modern times audiences still want to believe in things such as love at first sight. The play supports the 16th-century belief that true love conquers all and there is love at first sight. Romeo and Juliet is a catastrophic play about two deeply in Love couples written by Shakespeare in 1595.
