Shakespeare: A Comparison between Play and Film. It's not an easy feat, translating Shakespeare from play to film, but many have tried. While many of Shakespeare's works have been translated to film, this paper will concentrate on Romeo and Juliet. Romeo and Juliet is one of Shakespeare's greatest told stories, one that has withstood the holds of time again and again, even in film. Like all turn-of-the-century movies, the Shakespeare film still hadn't reached the stage of telling a story in pictures. Moreover, to make a silent movie based on the work of England's greatest poet-dramatist seemed so crazy that filmmakers. The process of messing with musical accompaniments, sound effects, phonographs, intertitles, and supplementary lecturers seem overwhelming to the film industry of this time.
