Describe the difference between both movies? Describe what happened, using operations, acts, and scenarios. And explain the significance of these movies to your lives.
The different in both movies cannot be hard to explain, but I would like to have time to discuss it in class. The first thing that is different on the movies is the social class, which the first movie represent a very high class, and the second one it is mixed. The second difference is the scenario, which the second one was bigger because occurred in different time and places. The thirst different was the massage. And the last thing is the show to us the different of the culture: the first movie represent such as Japans or Chinese culture, and the second one of course, represent American culture, and I can say that in this case we are like in middle of both culture.
This movie has a very significant in my life because this was my dream. I always wanted to be a professional dancer, but I do not have enough time to do it. Other significance is that I can do what I want just if I persist to do it. We have to try to do something until we say that we cannot do it.
