Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
January 31, 2.00 pm, 2015
Ellen Eccles Theatre
Albert Hackett, screen play
Stanley Donen: directorMetro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM)The
theatrical play is an adventure of a bride that teaches and trains
seven unkempt brothers to become gentlemen and turns basic
desire into romance. The movie which was set in Oregon in1850
is a story about Millie, a young bride living in Oregon, whose
plan to turn her brothers- in law into civilized and worthy
gentlemen so as to secure her marriage backfires. Her plan to
civilize and marry them off as good men fails when the bothers-
in laws kidnap six women from a nearby society and claim them
to be their brides. This play is a boisterous fun and romance of
a young woman brought up in a civilized society but endures
living in a farm with unkempt brothers- in- law.
The plot of this film is good. The events are interconnected to
bring forward a systematic story that unfolds as it is presented
to the audience. The script of seven bride’s seven brothers
makes a lot of sense and simple to understand and follow.
Though it is difficult to predict the next event or scene, the play
is comical and is ensemble into perfect showcase. The theme as
presented relates to marriage and the message brought out relate
to cultural differences of backgrounds that affect the way of life
in societies.
The film is unrealistic. The seven brothers are depicted as
overly wild and as manner less. It is impossible to convert the
waywardness of the brothers in their own surroundings. ``The
fundamentals of production involve incorporating the audience
in the formation of the film’’ Edwin in his first chapter states
the fundamentals of an audience when developing a film
(Wilson, pg. 38). He urges students to be active theater goers so
as to know the techniques of production and the role of the
audience. The actors in the movie are well presented and the
characters brought out in them portray the theme. Millie for
instance is brought out to portray a young, diligent and
enthusiastic lady who desires change and smooth transition from
her urban life to farm life. The character of an enduring and
dutiful wife portrayed my Millie is believable and good on
stage. The setting of this movie in the wilderness brings out the
rugged terrain and the environment of a farm where the bride is
not used to. The lighting of the movie is great and the mise-en
scene is real. The costumes used in the play show a transition of
both urban and farm life and bring out the distinguishing
features of both surroundings. The performance is done in a
open space so as to show the vastness of the farm. Spacing
between the events is also suitable and the music used in this
film as conducted by Gene dePaul is slow. The music flows in
between set and in low tones to set the mood of the play which
is both hilarious and romantic in nature. The reactions by fellow
audience were of awe, surprise and thrill.
I highly recommend this play to all audiences. The themes and
the background are well brought out and the characters in are
unique. This play is suitable for all kinds of audiences ranging
from middle school, high school and theater productions. People
who enjoy romantic and thrillers are likely to find this movie
quite enjoyable and hilarious due to its appropriate
performance.
