Dlj Vs Seven Brothers Essay

903 Words4 Pages

The two musicals I have chosen to analyze in this essay is Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

Similarities include the attire worn by the actors from both movies, in DDLJ Raj and the boys have a western inspired style because it shows their power and freedom and the women are in their traditional sarees, the brothers wear their boots and work clothes majority of the times, however they are dressed in bright colored shirts for the barn raising and so are the women who are in their pink and lighter colored dresses. How the characters treat their elders in DDLJ is very different from how it is in SBSB, the actors in DDLJ treat each elder as someone very wise and in SBSB it is a lot more carefree and everyone is considered equals. My personal impression on Bollywood is very good because I have grown up watching both Bollywood and Hollywood movies. I enjoy the cultural roots in the Bollywood films and it allows me to relate to relatives in the homeland and being able to understand the language is very useful for when I visit back home. The Bollywood movies are usually much longer than Hollywood movies as seen with DDLJ and SBSB and this can be a negative attribute, but the amount of work put into the music which is in each Bollywood movie is astounding and it gives it a unique

Similar to the Spanish reaction of Jay’s Treaty, the French were very skeptical of the unexpected agreement between the Americans and Great Britain, causing the French to take action. Seeing the treaty as a violation of the Franco-American Treaty, the French began impressing many American merchant ships just like the British had. Adams, infuriated by the actions of a supposed ally, sent representatives to fix the relations between these two nations, a meeting commonly known as the XYZ Affair.
