How would you compare Baz Luhrman's modernization of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet to Kenneth Branagh's interpretation of Shakespeare's Hamlet? Consider the style, content and social significance of these movies. (this is a summary of a topic for an essay I am doing for my screen studies course, i'd just like some different points of view and opinions so that i can give my essay more substance. any and all help will be deeply appreciated. THANK YOU)
