It Happened One Night

1. Relate what was discussed in class or the text to the screening.
   
This film titled it happened one night was very similar to a lot of discussions that occurred in class and out of class. In class we talked about love films and more so how females started to get more attention in the ground breaking love films of Hollywood. Out of class discussions meaning,  there are many films from modern day that are exact copies or replicas of It Happened One Night.









2. Find a related article and summarize the content.

    A Similar film to It Happened One Night is a film that was made in 1940 just six years after It Happened One Night was The Philadelphia Story . When a rich woman's Ex-husband and a Tabloid-type reporter turn up just before her planned remarriage ,  she begins to realize the truth about herself. What's funny about all the movies from back then and now is that they all aren't  original movies they all are piggy backed off the movies from the past. Many movies are all all repeated now days they just are re-made a little than what they made it to the last they make it.





3.  Apply the article to the film screened in class. 
    
     This article or movie applies to the last film screened in class because they are very similar in the way of  somebody meeting somebody and they start to fall deeply in love with that person. Its also cool that they made the film just six years after they made It Happened One Night.


4. Write a critical analysis of the film.
