Certainly no one would argue that Gary Cooper and Adam Sandler play Longfellow Deeds the same; however, after viewing both Cooper's Deeds (Mr. Deeds Goes to Town - 1936) and Sandler's Deeds (Mr. Deeds - 2002), it is obvious the similarities. Beyond the obvious differences, such as actors and the latter film being in color, there are many subtle differences. Your task is to discuss both the similarities and differences between the films and then decide which one you thought was a better example of film and storytelling. Keep in mind that you are not arguing for your favorite film, but rather the film that told a more cohesive story. Another word of advice: when comparing the films it will certainly be helpful to explain which directorial choices were more effective (for instance Babe Bennett working for a print tabloid vs. Babe Bennett working for a tabloid news program).
As always I will be looking at writing conventions and the development of your post. While you are required to write at least three hundred words, I doubt that you will be able to thoroughly compare the films without exceeding this minimum.
