In this essay, one will discuss how the film adaptation alters the original story. This will be done by looking at the film in three respects: ‘characteristics of elements used to produce the film’, ‘director’s awareness, background information, and intention’, and ‘viewers’ understanding’. For better explanation, two virsions of films Zeffirellii’s and Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet and Francis Ford Coppola’s film Dracula will be examined partially.

In the book Literature and Film, edited by Rober Stam and Alessandra Raengo, even lists eight reasons explaining why some critiques think in such a way about the film adaptation.
