We can see many differences, for example: in the book, at the party, Romeo and Benvolio are wearing masks, but in the film, they are wearing dresses and costumes or another difference is that at the end, in the book, Juliet killed herself with a sword, but in the film, she used a gun. In the film all the actors use guns, but in the book, they all use swords.
