Growing up have you ever wanted to go see a movie with your older siblings because you knew you were mature enough but you parents just wouldn't let you?

Within the musical film genre, the use of music is essential to the film narrative and plot structure. Many of the classic musicals, like Singin’ in the Rain, use this use of musical numbers to not only further the plot but also the individual character narrative. With this integration of music, these musicals are typically referred to as integrated musicals. This integration is usually expressed through a scene within a scene setting (ie.

Kidnapped was excellent. I read the book, and watched the movie. Both were great. It had action, and I remember the characters running many times. There were also many fights. The purpose of writing this essay is, to have you consider watching/reading Kidnapped. If you do want to watch/read Kidnapped, I would recommend watching it, since watching it clears everything up, and make the story clear. However, the book and movie were different. Although they were also similar. A quote from the book…
