Grease’s Ending : My Analysis and Story Closure All in all, I fairly enjoy the ending of Grease. I understand the resolution of Sandy changing herself seeming troublesome, but I believe that there was more to this than what meets the eye. I believe the message that was trying to be conveyed was if you truly love someone, you should learn to understand, accept, respect, and love them for who they are. This can be seen by Sandy dressing as a greaser, and Danny dressing as a letterman. I realize this statement may sound contradictory, but once again, I believe this wardrobe change was supposed to represent something else entirely. In my opinion, this visual change was supposed to show these two characters learning to walk in the shoes of the other person, both figuratively and literally. In the song which follows this turn of events, (“ You’re the One that I Want.”) Sandy repetitively sings, “ You better shape up.” She’s trying to tell Danny that if she’s going to sacrifice some lifestyle traits in her life to love and be with him, than he better do the same for her. For clarification purposes, I understand this can be seen either as a deep analysis, or a far reach on the subject. Therefore, I agree that some minor details could be changed to better show this representation of sacrifice and

    For example, Mama goes to the bank in the movie and is given a hard time about paying her mortgage, but this did not happen in the book. Another major difference is that the school bus scene, where the Logan kids played a trick on the white kids, was not shown in the movie, even though it was an important part of the story. There are some character changes as well. Lillian Jean, Jeremy, R.W, and Melvin are Simms’ in the book, but in the movie they are Kaleb Wallace’s children. However, the main plot difference is how the movie starts in the middle, summarizing everything from the first part of the book very briefly. Additionally, many scenes are switched around and placed out of order. Altogether, the plot and character changes contribute to my unfavorable impression of the

  • The Outsiders Movie Vs Book

    995 Words  | 2 Pages

    The first scene many might notice, is that the book starts out as Ponyboy walking home by himself unlike the movie, along with the part of being attacked by the Socs in the first part of the book. This scene is one of the only scenes that happens in the book and not the movie. In the movie, it starts out with the greasers at the gas station Another part that is uniquely in the book, is the part where Johnny and Ponyboy pretend to be playing soldier in Windrixville so they do not get caught. In addition to those parts, there is one substantial subplot that does not take place in the movie, and that is Sodapop’s girlfriend. In the book, Sodapop has a girlfriend who had moved to florida because she was pregnant and not allowed to marry Soda, however, Sandy did not like Sodapop they way he thought she did."When Sandy went to Florida… it wasn't Soda, Ponyboy. He told me he loved her, but I guess she didn't love him the way he thought she did, because it wasn't him." (Hinton 165). Unfortunately, another story of him did not prevail, the story of his favored pet horse, Mickey Mouse. In the book, Soda was was mentioned far more than any other characters in the story, be that as it may, the movie failed to mention him as the book did, leaving him in the dust with the other characters. One other major difference from the book, is the fact that the reader is able to know what Ponyboy is feeling and

  • Analytical Critique of The Godfather

    928 Words  | 2 Pages

    I believe the reason that, 'The Godfather', is such a great film is because it lets audiences decide whether they like the characters or not. Too many movies made about organized crime begin with some seemingly random act of violence. 'The Godfather', however, lets it be known from the start to judge the characters in the film based on what type of person they are instead of the criminal activities they may engage in.

  • The Godfather Film Analysis Essay

    1627 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Godfather is most notably one of the most prolific films of its time. This "gangster" film displayed many transformations of permeating color to give the viewer observable cues in its mise en scene that drew one right into the movie. The dramatic acting set the tone of the film with a score that lifted the viewer right out of their seat in many scenes. The directing and cinematography made The Godfather ahead of its time. The nostalgic feel of family importance and the danger of revenge lets us into the life of the Mafia. Even though no other techniques would have given the viewer a feeling of inside the mob like the mise en scene of the power the godfather held, the characters are reinforced literally and figuratively because the story views the Mafia from the inside out, and the cinematography of the film gives it a dangerous and nostalgic feel.
