Aaron Berger May 8, 2003 Paper # 3 Oceans’ Eleven was made in 1960. The major stars in the movie were Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Peter Lawford, Richard Conte, and Caesar Romero. This was a great movie and was good at reflecting it’s time, the 50’s and early 60’s. Forty one years later, this movie is remade. The major stars in the new film were George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Andy Garcia, Matt Damon, and Bernie Mac. This Movie was also great and also was an excellent reflection of it’s time, the new millennium. There are many differences and similarities between the two movies, yet it is still hard for me to say which one I like better. Both movies had a common theme. A group of very smart men get a way with crime. Both movies have guys in suits that are good talkers, good with the ladies, and are very smart and cunning. One main difference in the theme is that in the first one a group of war heroes use there training for crime. Throughout the movie, they refer to the heist as a mission, they move as if they are always covering each other’s backs, and they even refer the city as the combat zone. The army trains our men to have skills that they can abuse after the war. That was the message the first movie was trying to relay. The Second movie was made in a completely different era. It didn’t have the same time of tone setters. The first movie did a good job of using music to portray mood. I noticed special music when a character would be confused, surprised, sad, or enlightened.
