1. The normal Verona is a city situaded in the north of Italy, and Verona beach is a other city situaded in L.A, USA.  It has nothing to do the book city whit the film, because ther are too much differences like in the book are swords and in the flim guns, and they don't have horses they have cars, the film is too modern compared with the book, the book talks of a  story in 16th century and the film its set in the 2000 to much years of differences. 
2. 
In the film, water represents the love and fire represents the hatred between Montagues and Capulets. All times in the romantic scenes we see whater like the aquarium, the balcony wen romeo falls in the swiming poll etc
And we see fire when there are conflicts between the two family's like in the petrol station etc.
3.
In the book all of characters speak in verse but we notice more Romeo and Juliet beacause ther speak more time. In the film the other characters speak in prose, but Romeo and Juliet speak in verse possibly beacuse ther are the main characters. Something curious, in the book the narrator speak in verse, but in the film the narrator whas a journalist and he speak normal.
4.
All the characters in the Fancy dress party have a dress acording to they character:

• Romeo goes like a knight beacuse he is a honest and loyal guy.
• Juliet have a angel costume because she is a holy girl
• Tybalt wear a demon costume because he love fighting and he all the time wants to fight with Romeo.
• Paris is an astronaut beacuse he is not aware of anithing.

5.

Ther are many differences like:

• In the book we have swords and in the film ther are gun's.
• The horses have been changes for cars.
• The prince of verona in the film is a black police man
• The two familys have problems because they have two big companys and ther are enemys.
• All the places of the book are diferents respect the film
• And the place where Romeo go when he was banished, in the book was another village with her people and in the film he goes to a desert whit a old caravan.
