The movies Dream girls and Sparkle are very similar and empowering for that time in which it came out. The director or Dream girls is Bill Condon who also directed two Twilight movies. Then the director of Sparkle is Salim Akil who directed the television show The Game. Both films covey the theme of girl musical entertainment trying to make it in the music industry. Each movie shows the struggles of how tough it is for women to get in the industry, also the toll it takes on others involved in the process.
Dream girls was brought to the big screen in 2006. It is about a girl group trying to make it big time. They face issues on getting the right manager, going from background singers to front line singers, love, how to make money, and division in the group. The group takes a break

The audience saw everything play out. But in Sparkle the audience had to hear it from the narrator and watch it unfold as it was told. The audience experienced it how the narrator experienced it. Dream girls whatever happened the audience saw and was apart of it. The two films were similar. The both dealt with music and the angles on how the show happened where very close. The structure had someone in each film struggle and fall from the pressure of stardom. Both films did a good job presenting the theme just in different ways.
The sound in both films was incredible. The crew managed to get the songs to match the singer’s lips and there was no fed back. In Dream girls some women had solo songs where the audience can feel the power in their voices. Also, in Sparkle when she was singing quietly the crew hushed the surrounding noise where all the audience could hear was her singing. The whisper even spoke volumes. In Dream girls the power the singers had projected through all technology and it was made as if they were singing effortlessly. The music was used equally in both films. It had its element to better the
The movie Hoop Dreams centered on a pair of intercity youths, William Gates and Arthur Agee. Both of them lived in the projects surrounding Chicago.

1. How do you think the new and old versions represent different aspects of their societies/times? What are the similarities and differences? For this assignment I reviewed the movies Emma and Clueless.
While the similarities are smaller, like the considerate personalities shared between the main characters of both
And the scene were the reverend slaps ariel in the church after she screams out “ I’m not even a virgin!” Although there a quite a few noticeable changes brought about in these two films one is a classic and the other is still a hit movie. The ending of either of these movies basically go hand in hand, the ends justify the means, the resistance of the petition, and at the dance where Chuck shows up and Ren beats him up. All of these event are close to identical.
Zadie Smith’s “The Girl with The Bangs” is a vivid account of a romantic relationship between two incompatible characters with vastly different personalities. Told from a first person perspective, it traces the narrator’s journey through an unusual relationship with the girl Charlotte, exploring what it is like “being a boy” – enthralled by a girl’s physical features and thus willing to tolerate any faults of any magnitude (188). His optimism and attraction to Charlotte eventually leads him to grief, where, blinded by their relationship, he is caught unawares and replaced by another boy. Yet, he also achieves an epiphany: that the relationship is built on irrational obsessions and motives and is thus ultimately unsustainable. Told in introspection,
In the new episode of New Girl, titled Big Mama P, Schmidt meets Cece’s mother (Ms. Parikh) for the first time, only to find out that Cece had never told her mother she was getting married. Using code switching, facial expressions, and paralanguage, Schmidt tries to create a good first impression in order to receive her blessing, and ultimately fails to do so. His failure is shown through Ms. Parikh’s use of powerful language, and the same nonverbal cues used by Schmidt. The scene first starts with Schmidt walking towards Ms. Parikh.
It’s easy to pin point the difference but in reality they share common themes which includes life lessons. Despite the difference in the years and the actors both the classic and sequel has common themes that can be applied to situations now in day. When we compare and contrast
One similarity was the rape of Hassan by Assef. The book was better than the movie because the movie left out important and crucial scenes that changed the meaning of the story in the film. Going from one country to another is not always easy especially if you're trying to go with a minor that is not your
In the movie and book there were many similarities. One similarity was that there was the movie scene where they meet Cherry and
Even though they may have shared some similarities, they also have some differences like the setting of where
The themes of both books are both knowledge is power. Both of the settings are around the same time period and they are dystopias. Finally, the characters of the two stories are both lifeless wives and the main characters are against the society. This shows how the two stories are similar by themes, settings, and
Like a rat placed inside a maze to be examined by a scientist, the cast members of the reality T.V show “Bad Girls Club” are placed in a house to be examined as a psychological experiment. The popular reality T.V show “Bad Girls Club” is a show that follows the lives of seven self-proclaimed “bad girls” as they live in a house together. The supposed purpose of this show is to not only watch these bad-mannered women fight, bicker, and argue, but it is also to watch these women mature and step away from their “bad girl” personifications. In order to frame the show of its experimental ways, the show even includes a life coach that is supposed to “help” the women grow out of their “bad girl” ways. But what really is the true objective behind the
Although there are many differences between the two, there are also many similarities. Like how in both the movie and the novel she outsmarts the
Another difference would be the way the short stories were ordered. In the book, the stories were told in no perceptible order, making it hard to remember who is whose daughter/mother etc. The movie begins with a party which all the characters attend, and the stories are disclosed as the character is thinking about it. The mother and daughter’s stories are staged after one another. The movie allows for a more natural way of telling the story, and makes it easier to remember the characters and associate mothers with daughters.
