Stage directions can be literal and functional in describing what is happening, or they can be more abstract and poetic in setting the scene.
The etymology is of course from the theater, where ‘stage directions’ would be what is written in the playtext to provide information relevant to the staging of the play.īroadly speaking, it would tell actors where to go, set designers what to design and directors what to focus on. So what are stage directions? Well, these are the parts of your screenplay that will help describe the action around the dialogue. Stage Directions in a Spec Script vs a Shooting Script.Writing About Characters in Stage Directions.Language and Style used in Stage Directions.No film production of this play will please everyone, alas I feel in love with it!It was those little details that were added that made me enjoy this adaptation. Also, when Bonvelo gives Romeo the news, Romeo has this moment where he looks up at that beautifully painted Fresco and he has that very Hamletesque moment the "To be or not to be," inner struggle that the filmmakers probably wanted the audience to reference. Men were also made at a younger age during that time so we can historically accept that. At first, I had reservations that Bonvelo, (who let's be honest is the real reason why Romeo discovers Juliet's "dead") is played by such a young actor but he made me a believer, when Romeo gives him that final goodbye, it was just heartbreaking. I loved how Romeo was a sculptor, when he is talking about Rosaline and sculpting her, that was perfect for the time period. It was more historical accurate and it really showed and felt right for Shakespeare's classic. The jousting in the opening scene was genius for that was probably taking place at the time. Romeo and Juliet is set in Verona and this film captures it beautifully. I loved the setting for this film, such beautiful and grand locations. Romeo and Juliet is such a beautiful tragic love story, I applaud the filmmakers for their choices. They come out with a new version of Romeo and Juliet every 10 years it seems and although I still love Romeo+Juliet from the 90s I love this one for different reasons.
I'm quite shocked that this adaptation is receiving bad reviews.
