The Parent trap that came out in 1998 is an adventure, comedy, and drama remake of the 1961 Hayley Mills version. It is a Disney classic that is not only family oriented and heartwarming, but humorous as well. Though it fits the title as a children's movie, it is one that all ages may enjoy. Whether you like the original Parent Trap or not, it is not hard to enjoy the remake. It tends to bring out emotions with the instantaneous bond between the twins and their parents. Lindsay Lohan plays the dual role of Hallie and Annie with great simplicity. The directors, Meyers and Shyer, have the perfect combination of comedy and romance to keep the hearts of the younger audience, while continuing to keep it profound. The directors did an outstanding job keeping the audience on their feet and excited for what is to come.
The story begins when two twins, Hallie and Annie, are separated at birth and coincidentally attend the very same summer camp eleven and a

In the end of the movie the two get re-married and incorporate Hallie and Annie into the wedding. Another great aspect of this movie that had an effect on the audience is the music. The soundtrack that is playing throughout the movie does a fantastic job at making you feel each heartwarming scene. For example, the opening scene that consists of Elizabeth and Nick’s first date has the song L-O-V-E playing. Not only is the setting romantic, but the song presents love and happiness. It’s hard not to sing along with the music.
Overall the “new” Parent Trap is a wonderful movie that can be watched with the whole family. All of the criteria that make it a fantastic movie was absolutely well thought out. It could have gone one of two ways, being that there was already a parent trap filmed in 1961. Without a doubt the new version ended up being a big time hit. I think that The Parent Trap will continue to be a popular movie even in the years to

Personally I think both the movies were good, but if I had to pick my favorite it would have to be the remake one. I just think it is more relatable and I defiantly like Hough playing Ariel better than Singer. Also I think Ren actor was a better choice as well. I think Wormald fit the role very well. The 1984 will always be the classic Footloose, but so will the remake version. I would recommend both movies to any age. I think the kids will love to sing along to this classic musical

In the movie the Color Purple written by Alice Walker and directed by Steven Spielberg the opening scene was my one of my favorites because they were so happy together and it was just a really cheerful scene. I like this scene because it showed how happy Celie and Nettie were together and that those two were the only ones that were super happy with each other. When times got rough it showed that they were there for each other and they could make the best out of any situation that came along. This is one of my favorites because it kind of reminds me of my sister and I because we are close and we would do anything for each other this scene just makes you really happy and feel good about life and everything like that which makes it feel like this scene is almos...
My wife has watched this movie probably over 100 times. She says it is such a great love story with great dancing and music. Well, I do agree with her it does have a lot of great upbeat music that matches each scene, and I am not one to watch musicals films.The tempo of the movie is really impressive for its time. Critics seem to write that it was rare for the era. Written and produced in 1952, and showcased some of the best actors of its day.

The movie mainly focuses on the love story of Daisy and Gatsby. The director shows the theme of love through scenes, like flashbacks, spoken dialogue, music, and through the characters. Out of all of the elements, Luhrmann’s choice of music really captured the essence of an epic love. “Young and Beautiful” by Lana Del Rey was a song that can be heard multiple times throughout the movie, this song provokes feeling and really sets up the mood of a love story. At the scene where Gatsby sees Daisy for the first time in five years and he shows her around his house, “Young and Beautiful” is played, as the viewer sees Daisy falling for Gatsby once again. In addition to the music, many scenes in the movie attributed to theme of love. In the first flashback scene of Daisy and Gatsby, when Nick learns about sir past, the viewer can see Gatsby and Daisy talking, obviously flirting. According to Jordan, Gatsby looked at Daisy “the way every girl wants to be looked at”. Then Daisy is shown reading a letter from Gatsby after not hearing from him for years, and she gets extremely upset. Daisy was about to marry another man, this scene showed that she was probably still in love with Gatsby at that time, but couldn’t have him. When Gatsby and Daisy see each other for the first time in five years, the camera is in on a close-up, letting the viewer see their connection and love for each other, clearly showing they miss each other. Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays Gatsby, and Carey Mulligan, who plays Daisy, successfully portray the chemistry these two characters have. The montage of Gatsby showing Daisy his house, shows a variety of moments between Daisy and Gatsby rekindling their love for each other. The viewer later find out, by the narration of Nick Caraway, that Gatsby has had this grand dream of living happier ever after with Daisy since he met her.
