Essay Comparing A Hard Day's Night And Walk The Line
Following a career of your dreams comes with consequences and the realization of who the real supporters in your life are. In the movie A Hard Day’s Night it portrayed the members of The Beatles as a band with a perfect mythical life of mischievous acts and female screaming fans that run after them everywhere they go. While Johnny Cash, in the movie Walk the Line, undergoes a more realistic and factual lifestyle with struggles of being an absent dad and a depressed person that gets dragged into a life-changing addiction. Although A Hard Day’s Night and Walk the Line are similar in symbolizing the motto “follow your dreams” I favored Walk the Line more because it's more relatable in the sense of tough love from Cash’s father.
Growing up Johnny Cash had a tough father that didn't appreciate him as a son. He would often tell him how he was the wrong son that god took and how he should do something more effective in his life. My father never treated us that way but he did show his tough love to make us strong and empowering women in this world. He always gave us life lessons and guided us to the path that will make us successful in the future. With every scenario that was thrown at us in life, my dad always had a saying that kept us motivated to keep on going. In the movie, A Hard Day’s Night the band’s “father figure” that looked after them during the tour were their managers, Norm and Shake. In opposition to Cash’s relationship with his father, it was The Beatles that gave their managers a hard time due to their mischievous behavior during the tour. For example when they snuck to the hotel’s late-night party while they were supposed to write back to fan letters, and when they lost Paul’s “clean” grandfather in the hotel where he escaped to the casino of the hotel. My childhood wasn't the kind that labeled me and my siblings as rascals but we did have fun in our own ways with the kids from the block. We may have snuck out to our neighborhood park by ourselves and went to friends’ houses without parent permission but other than that we were “angels.” Symbolizing the saying “follow your dreams” was shown in both A Hard Day’s Night and Walk the Line but Johnny Cash made the film more empathetic to viewers since it visualized an engaging storyline with the relationship of his father and his journey to becoming a famous singer; while The Beatles represented an idealistic lifestyle with their crazy adventures during tours. A Hard Day’s Night and Walk the Line both had a story of the life of famous musicians but most of the viewers related to Johnny Cash’s story a little more than The Beatles’ story. My film recommendation would be Walk the Line because the structure of the movie met the expectations of a movie plot because it included an exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and a conclusion, which made it a realistic and relatable life story. The movie that The Beatles starred in, only showed a climax throughout the whole movie which kept the viewers on the same emotion throughout the whole movie. It also didn't have a connection or a life lesson in the end.
