Some years ago, when I went to La Serena with a group of friends, on our way to this city, we saw a route sign that said “Fray Jorge Park, 10kms”. Most of us did not know anything about that national park, for being honest, nobody knew it.
When Simon said: "compare the book with the movie" I wondered: "how am I going to do that!" At the beginning I thought in creating a special way of telling the story, or having a little research, but unfortunately I did not find out anything creative to develop this task. Nevertheless, since I chose this career, I must be a teacher who is always doing his best, not staying and keeping useless ways of teaching. Thus, I wondered again: "Simon's task is going to be useful for me, great!" Here we go! The commitments, the movie; as in the book said, live in Dublin, Ireland. They are part of the working class, looking for better opportunities in a hard society full of difficulties. For that reason, Jimmy found a very interesting form of living the life: R&B and soul hits. But he needed a particular group of artists, the ones who feel and live music. Consequently Derek, Outspan, Ray, Mickah and the sisters were the ones Jimmy wanted to have in a band. As we already know, books taken to the cinema factory always have differences that a reader can find. For example, and most of my classmates agree with me, in the books, Some of The Commitments wanted to be performing again, some of them not. In the movie, everyone kept having their previous life (before being part of the group). Finally, what we can save, like a piece of advice, is to have always a dream, a dream come true, not a thing we cannot reach. By this it means, we have to overcome tough situations to get what we really want to get, even though when there is no chance to obtain anything. Dreaming waiting for the day when everything will be true.
