TRANSLATION

Translation 3:

1. Translate the passage into German!

In „Looking for Richard“, äußert der Schauspieler und Regisseur Al Pacino seine große Hoffnung für seinen Film – um seinen Enthusiasmus für die Theaterstücke der Dichter an ein breiteres Publikum auszudehnen. Auf eine andere Art und Weise, das ist was Baz Luhrmann (Strictly Ballroom) mit dieser radikalen Vorgehensweise mit „Romeo & Julia“ versucht zu machen. Luhrmann hat diesen Spielfilm mit dem schwerfälligen, elitären Shakespeare „Sprachreiniger“ nicht mit Absicht hergestellt aber hat - unter Berücksichtigung von lebhafter, moderner Bildersprache mit einem pochenden Rock-Soundtrack und coolen Schauspielern – auf ein Publikum, welches Shakespeare normalerweise, wahrscheinlich als Hausarbeit betrachtet, um in der Schule ertragen zu werden gezielt, nicht ein leidenschaftliches Drama um die Leinwand zu entzünden.

Mach keinen Fehler, diese Version von „Romeo & Julia“ ist nicht das Ebenbild von Franco Zeffirellis unvergesslichem Klassiker von 1968. Obwohl Leonardo DiCaprio und Claire Danes ein erfolgreiches Paar bilden, brennt ihre Romanze nicht so wie die Liebesaffäre mit der weißglühenden Intensität von Leonard Whiting und Olivia Hussey. Jedoch ist die Interpretation so fundamentalistisch anders von alldem was vor dieser kam, dass keine Gefahr der Wiederholung besteht. Bei demselben Vorkommnis hat es zwei verschiedene Versionen von Richard III. in den letzten zwölf Monaten gegeben, und niemand beschwert sich.

Für diejenigen die nicht wissen, dass „Romeo & Julia“ die Geschichte von zwei Jugendlichen, deren Liebe unter einem schlechten Stern steht, erzählt, welche im Geheimen füreinander nachgeben und heiraten. Ihre Familien, die Montagues und die Capulets, welche hitzige Feinde über Jahrzente gewesen sind, sind in einen Irrgarten der Gewalt verfangen und gerade als Romeo und Julia ihr Ehegelübde sagen, brechen neue Gewalttaten zwischen den beiden Stämmen aus.
