Movie Difference

For someone who read Cyrano de Bergerac and didn't watch the movie version of it, yet watched Roxane. It is very difficult to point out that Roxane is actually the modern version of Cyrano de Bergerac because the modern language and actions are so different from the Old English language or French. The two movies have many similarities yet different if a person was to focus on specifics, such as the dialogues. In the original French version, Cyrano had a long dual fight with another man while mocking him with different ways to address his nose. In the modern movie, many can see that there was no physical fights between the man and the enemy while he was mocking him. Only afterwards, it was seen that the man knew Kung-Fu. Also, Roxane did recognize Cyrano in her life, not like in the original where Roxane barely knew Cyrano. Obviously, the technology and type of language was too easy to notice, and it brings out how old love differentiate from the modern type of affection.
