Comparison of 1964 and 1996 Romeo and Juliet

Over years several Romeo and Juliet movies are filmed. The 1964 version started with the servants of the Capulets walking on the streets and biting his thumb at the Montagues, which led to a bloody fight between two families. This is more similar to the original Romeo and Juliet, written by William Shakespeare. However, 1996 version of the Romeo and Juliet is different from 1964 version. In 1996 version, the Capulets, including Benvolio, Romeo's cousin, were driving their car to a gas station, where the Montagues were, too. Also, the weapons that use in different film were different, too. In 1964 version, people were using swords. Instead, people in 1996 version of the Romeo and Juliet were using guns. Later on, the plot of the movies are quite similar. The Capulets were biting their thumbs are the Montagues, and later on led to a fight. Also, the dialogue when the servants of the Capulets respond to the Montagues are almost exactly the same as the 1964 version. I like the 1996 version of the Romeo and Juliet better because it is more modern, and easy to understand. The most important, I like the actors in 1996 version of the movie more than the 1964 version of the movie.
