Save the Last Dance is the other film that we chose and the scene that we chose in the film is that of Derek and his friend Malakai discussing what they are going to be doing. Malakai, like the friend in our film, is someone who has got himself into things that he shouldn't have and now he has a hard task to face and needs Derek's help. Derek knows that if he goes on to help Malakai then he knows it can ruin his chances of going to medical school but then he is also conflicted about being disloyal to his best friend. All of this fits in with our film because of the idea that our main character wants to follow his dream but try and be loyal to his friend knowing the consequences of it if he does and even doesn't help his friend.

In our film, the main character does actually decide to do the right thing, even though we won't be showing this part, and so did Derek which shows them that they know that they need to follow their dreams and lead a positive and safe life. It also shows the dynamics between them and their friend and that the main characters are still willing to stick by their friends even though they know that their friends will lead them down a dark path.
