Movie Analysis

Last year saw the release of two heart-warning movies that captured the interests of the younger and older generations . Both the musical film Music and Lyrics and the romantic /drama movie of I Could Never be Your Woman appealed to viewers whose enchantment is into having to watch a light but good and entertaining movie . An analysis of the movies techniques , theme and narrative will manifests that although both attracted a somehow the same audience , their effect and influence to culture would spell comparison and contrast

The musical and

love film Music and Lyrics is about the combination of a popular lyricist and a washed-up musician whose characters and lives took personal turns and eventually find their relationship developing into something serious . Directed by Marc Lawrence and starring Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant , the movie presented the story of a charming Alex Fletcher (Grant , a has-been 1980s pop star who has been demoted to performing his nostalgic and old songs only at county fairs , children parks and occasional high school reunions . His charisma and musical talent were put into test by the sultry diva Cora Corman (Haley Bennett who asked him to write and record a duet with her . This sounds easy but for the fact that Alex has not written a song for so long nor never written lyrics . Now comes the brilliant but off-beat and not confident Sophie Fisher (Barrymore ) whose magic for creation of words strikes a chord and melody with Alex . Sophie 's unwillingness to collaborate with commitment-phobe Alex eventually resulted in a fine-tuned chemistry This is where the two will have to succeed in their fears if they want to have their long-find love and success they both deserve . The two need each other just like in composing a song , a music needs lyrics and vice versa

According to Murray , the attracting factor /technique of the film is its title itself as the public expects that it will contain much of appealing and entertaining songs which Adam Schlesinger from Fountains of Wayne provided . The musical creations were attention-getting in terms of what else , their music and lyrics , and brought back memories of the 1980s in a bearable and delightful manner . Although the film did not picture the usual romantic comedy formula , it supplied an acceptable source of amusement that is anticipated from this genre of film (Murray

The movie dealt on the theme of a professional work set-up developing into a love relationship . Although musical in nature , the movie played on the subject matter of the conflicts encountered by two people who combine work and pleasure (love and sex . The narrative style was played up on the female character (Barrymore ) who oftentimes reigns in a romantic comedy /drama audiences . Grant and Barrymore clicked and their involvement with each other led to the dramatic presentation of the film because of the problems the couple encountered when their work and personal lives were mixed
