These same ideas are also presented in Baz Luhrmann's film Romeo and Juliet, but not necessarily in the same way. Whatever time period you are in, romantic love will always be present and William Shakespeare's idea on love is what is still recognizable across the ages.

When people are in love, it can make them do different things which may or may not be what society wants them to do. do, and this has not changed from older to modern generations. Both William Shakespeare and Baz Luhrmann explore the complex theme of romantic love and its power in their texts and films. Shakespeare uses metaphors to emphasize the idea that love has no boundaries: "What's in a name? What we call a rose / Would smell as good as any other word", and to show that love should not be stopped because of a person's name. Names shouldn't matter when you fall in love with someone, just like a rose doesn't change shape or color if it changes its name. Shakespeare uses religious and physical references in metaphors to show that their love is not only physical but also serious: “My lips, two blushing pilgrims, are ready / To soften that rough touch with a tender kiss.” It makes the audience see their love more seriously and makes it relevant through the ages because whenever two lovers delve into a relationship they want to prove that their love is serious and not childish to the world. Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film also explores how Romeo and Juliet are in their world. …middle sheet……EVERYONE IS PUNISHED!” The rebellion of Romeo and Juliet who love each other and the rebellion of the two houses against society is punishable, in this case with the death of Romeo and Juliet. Rebellion of any kind in any century is punishable, this idea of rebellion shown in William Shakespeare and Baz Luhrmann's text and film will remain relevant throughout the centuries.
