Shakespeares Stories

Shakespeare as long with other writers from earlier ages have influenced today's movies. One example is, a Cinderella Story. Although is is really based off of a Disney picture, it has some concepts inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. It has the basic star crossed lover theme and isn't totally like a Shakespeare play but takes some concepts. So to what degree? Well a moderate degree.
A Cinderella story is about two people who talk through email and text, and definitely like each other. But they are from different worlds and Sam the main girl is to scared to tell him who he is. In Romeo and Juliet, the title characters are also in love and are from different worlds, and are enemies. So Sam and Austin and star crossed lovers like Romeo and Juliet.
