The settings for the opening scenes in both movies are very important because they give the audience an understanding on what era it is set in and where the movie will be set. The settings, props, costumes, cinematography and music have many similarities but are manly different due to the views of the directors/ writer. The opening scenes of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film and Zeffirelli's 1968 film are treated very differently.
