Romeo & Juliet
There are many binary oppositions during Romeo & Juliet (1996) on the opening scene. The two rivals the Montagues and Capulets are presented in different ways. The Montagues are dressed very bright with open shirts, that seem casual and colourful. However on the other hand the Capulets are wearing smart suits and dark colours like navy and black. The capulets also seem to present their suits as they're brave and calm unlike the montagues that are cowardly, nervous and do silly things behind the capulets instead of their face and ask for peace however capulets do not agree and create a war. The montagues seem more if tramps and hood boys wearing dog tags whereas the capulets are wearing real gold/bling. The capulets could also rely on their body for being so brave as they seem fit and muscular whereas the montagues seem chubby and unfit. They're also two different types of Americans, the montagues are the White Americans and the capulets are the Latin Americans.
