It Happened One Night - Essay Example

It happened one night in a film about a young girl Ellie who comes from a wealthy family and her confused marriage decision (Andrews). Ellie falls in love with Westley who is not as wealthy as they are and for this purpose, Ellie’s father revokes the marriage. Due to this confusion, Elsie runs away and meets a young man who recognizes her and threatens her with two choices. The first choice is a promise of reuniting her with Westley or calling Ellie’s father and reporting her location if Ellie fails to tell her story. Ironically, Ellie falls in love with the young man peter whom he has just met on the bus while running away from her home. Eventually, the two get married and there is a reconciliation between the father and the daughter. The second film is Rebel Without a cause, which is a story of a young man who feels disappointed by his dad’s weakness at home. Jim is only 17 years and he feels depressed especially by the constant wars at home (Stark). Due to this, a bad company that eventually leads to the loss of his comrade influences him. The film ends with Plato's friend dying.

The two films show a similarity of the daddy's influence on their children. The teenage age requires critical love and care from parents especially due to the confusion that teenagers undergo at this stage since they struggle to identify themselves. At the end of both films, we also experience the reunion of both Jim and Ellie with their respective fathers.  However, there is a slight difference in Rebel without a cause in the dad's failure to influence his son's decision leading to his son Jim falling into the hands of thugs. In contrary to what happened one night, Ellie’s father has complete direction against her daughter’s life to the extent of convincing her on whom to marry.
