What did Baz Luhrmann leave out of his film production of Romeo and Juliet that the play included?

Of all the reproductions I have seen that take a little
liberty to change something like setting or era, Luhrmann does pretty good sticking to
original text.


One of his biggest liberties is the final
scene. We never see Paris or the Friar and Juliet discuss the fight scene that occurs
between Romeo and Paris. We do not get to see Paris' page or Balthazar outside watching
out for anyone to come and check on the
monument.


Throughout the rest of the movie, Luhrmann often
portrays character lines through actions (we never see the word play of Gregory and
Sampson in the beginning scene), the television news, or a different character. He also
re-orders some lines, although he does stay true to Shakespeare's old
English.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
