Book vs film.

SETTING:The history in the book pass in Verona, in the film pass in Verona-beach. In the book there are a lot of woods and in the film there are buildings. In the book the people go with horses or walking and in the film go with car, walking, moto, helicopter ...
IMAGERY:In the film I think the watter mean the good things for Romeo because he meet with Juliet when see the water of the fishbowl, he kissed jJuliet in the water of the swimming pool and the bad , Tybalt,dies in the water. On the other hand ,I think the fire mean the died and the figths because Romeo and Juliet died in the middle of the church where are full of candles and when the capulets and montague fight in the gas station are fire too.
For mee the night and the moon mean the romantic situation and the day the problematic situations.
LENGUAGE: In the film and in the book when talk Romeo with Juliet or about Juliet is more romantic like a poem and when talk the other peaople talk normal.There aren't a narrataor.
THE FANCY DRESS PARTY:In the dress party the costumes are very important in the history in the book and in the film because if the people didn't go with a costume Romeo didn't enter and he did't meet with Juliet.
ELEMENTS: Swords for guns, horses for cars,the antic costumes for a T-shirt and a troussers, the prince of Verona for a police-man,the wood for a beach.
OTHER DIFFERENCES:In the book mercutio is white and in the film is black,in the book Romeo kill Paris and in the film no, in the book there aren't the Tybalt's and the Benvolio's friends.
