Claire is diagnosed with breast cancer and is told that she will have to undergo chemotherapy. She is devastated by the idea of losing her hair and begins to fall into depression. She sees her dream slowly slipping away and decides to lock herself away from society. Her family are also affected, as her parent’s focus all their time on her they have no time for their eldest son who turns to a life of crime. Her confidence hits rock bottom and she is a shadow of her former self, she tries to commit suicide numerous times and her mother contemplates leaving.
This is until one day during a visit to the hospital she meets a young girl who suffers from leukaemia. The girl has lost both of her legs but she one of the happiest people in the hospital.

The director of this movie is Martin Scorsese which does successful films in that type of genre. Al Capone was excellent for the part aswell because he was well known for gangster films e.g taxi driver.
Hana Yori Dango (Japanese Drama)
This opening shows the main character and she is narrating the opening sequence. We know who the main character is because the camera keeps referring back to her with big close ups, long shots, medium shots. It is set in a school and while everyone is sitting together with her friends, she sits alone in the middle of the room. The audience can sense that she is lonely and don’t fit in. She even complains about her classmates objects and how rich they are, which makes the audience think that she don’t fit in and she is not as wealthy as others in her school.
The drama is typical to the genre because in the opening we have establish that she is in school with has no friends and doesn’t fit in when other people that are rich have a lot of friends. The music is dark and soft at the same time because one of the instruments used is a xylophone which has a dark sound to it but sweet aswell. For the genre it helps because it goes well with the dialog which helps us figure out the genre because together they help us sense loneliness of what the character is feeling.
