“Was Franco Zeffili’s film version of the play “Romeo and Juliet an improvement
over Shakespeares play?” Yes, Franco Zeffelli’s film was an improvement over
Shakespeares play because he changed the dialogue a little, he made the location
better, and the Tybalt and Romeo duel was action packed.
I really liked the real elaborate scenery in the movie. I liked all the nice
looking buildings. I also liked the scenery because it was real open and right
in the center of the city.
Franco Zeffelli really added a lot to the great battle scene between Romeo and
Tybalt. In the actual play the fight sounded stupid and it seemed like it
barely lasted a minute. In the movie the fight scene was great because it was a
long fierce fight.

around a lot. The fight scene was a lot better also. Over all the film was
