Coming of age has many aspects and undergoes changes throughout time, as Daniel Jones states, “What began as a way to fictionalize how a child became an adult became complicated throughout the centuries by other issues.

While coming of age literature changes with society over time, but

However, Luhrmann still receives much criticism for not staying true to the original source material of the stories he introduces to the big screen. One fails to realize the fact that, “Luhrmann’s films are not so much adaptations as re-imaginings” (Vogue Magazine) and through analysis of his various techniques, as well as his overall cinematic language in his films, “Strictly Ballroom” (1992), “Romeo + Juliet” (1996) and “The Great Gatsby”, one can see this clearly, through Luhrmann’s evolution as a director.
