In order to be fully successful, you'd have to cut the first half of the piece, which summarizes the film where you'd be better served discussing the questions of genre, introducing Chandler, etc. Then you'd want to greatly exapand these few lines: <br /><br />As expected by the viewer, Hitch presents a story line, or theme, that follows the guidelines of its genre; Boy falls in love with a seemingly attainable girl, and despite the obstacles manages to win the girl over, or vice versa, and live happily ever after. The only real difference in the case of Hitch, is that it is not just one boy winning over the girl. Instead it is one boy winning over the girl with the help of another who happens to be trying to win over his own girl.<br /><br />Showing your reader first how it follows the genre (and thus your summary would still have a place, in truncated form), then much more about how it deviates, would be the ideal form for this piece, and would push it from a discussion of a film to a discussion of the problems of genre.S Henklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893192932580925482noreply@blogger.com
