There have been multiple cinematic and dramatic recreations of this timeless tragedy by Shakespeare. In the 1996 film version by Baz Luhrmann the film setting was a modern Southern California, as opposed to Verona, Italy, for example.
In the older movie, Romeo does not slay Paris before entering the Capulet tomb as he does in the play. Also, Friar John in the play is held captive in a small town due to the black plague however in the movie he simply takes too long to reach Romeo with his news.
1. romeo kills Paris in the book. but in the movie Paris does not even show up
2. in the book lady Montague dies, but in the movie she does not.
3. in the book romeo gets poison from the apothacary, but in the movie he already has the poison at Juliet's tomb.
that's all i could find for. now.. hope it helped a little
There have been numerous movies made of Romeo and Juliet and all of them (like all stage plays) make some alterations from the script. But different ones. Your answer is therefore going to depend which movie you are talking about. This answer is about the Zeffirelli movie from 1968.
Some are:
In the book romeo kills Paris at the graveyard going to see Juliet, and in the movie Paris does not even show up to the grave yard.
Lady Montague dies in the book from grief, and in the movie she is at the graveyard seeing her son dead.
Friar John was stopped by the black plague and could not give the letter and in the movie he is seen with the donkey on his way to Mantua to give them to Romeo.
In the book Romeo stops at the apothcary to buy the poison and in the movie he is shown already having the poison in the tomb.
that depends on which movie you are refering to. in the old movie the differences are: Romeo never meets Paris in her tomb, he uses a rock to break down the door, Lady Montague never dies. In the recent movie, there are several dirrences. these are: he never meets Paris in the tomb, Juliet wakes up before romeo dies in the movie,wheras in the play she never does, the friar never shows up in the movie after Juliet awakes, in the movie Juliet kills herself with a gun, in the play it is a pocket knife.
Director Baz Luhrmann chose to set his film in a modern-day American city. Some aspects of the original dialogue were difficult to reconcile with this setting, particularly the references to fighting with swords. The director chose to keep the language of the play, but to have "swords" be a slangy way to refer to guns.
The film follows the order of events in the play fairly closely, although (as is almost always the case in film adaptations of Shakespeare) many lines have been cut. This is because it is not considered to be interesting to watch someone talking at length on film, and the play is full of longish speeches.
One piece of the action which was changed was the fight between Romeo and Paris at the Capulet monument. This was left out in the film, although Romeo does keep the line "Tempt not a desperate man!" Also, in the film, Juliet wakes just before Romeo dies. This was done in some 17th and 18th century adaptations of the play but was not in the original. Nor is Friar Laurence present when she wakes.
The play has been made into several movies, but if the director stays with the Shakespearian dialogue and the essence of the play it usually follows the play fairly well. I would suggest if you are thinking of watching a movie instead of reading the play that you read the play first. Shakespear can be hard to follow unless you know the play. It usually takes me about 10 minutes into the play on stage or in film to leave the modern world and immerse myself in the the dialogue of Shakespearian language. Give it a try.
what is the setting of the book "The romeo and juliet code"
she was about 14
Its a good book.
Depends, in the movie Romeo sees Juliet next to the nurse, her fiance and her mother. Like this, right away he figured out she was a Capulet. In the book, Romeo is told by the nurse that Juliet belongs to the Capulet Family.

There have been countless film adaptations of Romeo & Juliet. It's impossible to know which one you're referring to. Please ask another question and be more specific.
what is the setting of the book "The romeo and juliet code"
Juliet says it to Romeo in Act 1, Scene 5 of "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare.
16
yes there is a book
she was about 14
It depends which movie and, for that matter, which book. There have been at least a dozen movies made of Romeo and Juliet, more if you count the ballets and operas. Shakespeare's play wasn't the first telling of the story: he got it from Arthur Brooke, who got it from a French story, the author of which got it from an Italian story based on earlier Italian stories which are based on the Latin. Or you could be talking about an actual book which was based on Shakespeare's play, which is not strictly speaking a book.
Yes.
Its a good book.

Watching it. How do you watch a book, do you ask? Well, you can't, but fortunately Romeo and Juliet is not a book to read; it's a play to watch. If you watch a play or movie based on a novel, you miss a lot of what the author intended. If you watch a play of a play, you get everything.
