comparison

The mood of a story or movie is the atmosphere and feeling of the location and how the characters are feeling in the specific version of the script. For example we watched a parody of Romeo and Juliet, they used the script that the play had but they made the mood in more modern of a scene. At the beginning of the movie it started at a gas station instead of on the street, the Montague’s family was more of a crazy free spirits. They had pink hair and their shirts were just loose and were always happy. The Capulet’s on the other hand seemed more like they were macho men with greased back hair and leather clothes. In the movie the Montague’s seemed as though they were afraid when the Capulet’s came to fight them and they would run away.  But in the play the Montague’s seemed like they dressed more respectful and more stylish. The Montague’s didn’t dress like they were greasers in the play either they dressed how people did in the time this play was written with more puffy dresses and that kind of style. The mood changes everything about the written material. It can make you think that Romeo and Juliet are dare devils or sweet little children inlove.
