All of us have had the idea of creating a group or a band in our childhood. This is the theme of a book called "The Commitments", which represents the dreams of people who were inmerse in the music world.
The original version is the written version, which is more descriptive and precise. It give us a view of how a group of people create a band in order to connect their beliefs, dreams and music. Moreover, it is a clear narration of life, and how life gives opportunities and experiences to people.
The Commitments in a word means: "diversity". Because, all of them have different preferences in music and life styles. However, they composed an entertaining and crazy band.
On the other hand, the movie has a brief description of the characters, and it has an overview about their personalities. In the visual version, the group has not many difficulties to advance in the musical environment . Maybe, it is a short and simple interpretation of the book. But it is effective to catch people´s attention.
From my point of view, in the book you need to imagine and create the atmosphere and the situations that the author describes, you have to discover and analyse the consequences of creating a group. For that reason, the written version has a more complex and clear description of the story, which is an example of life and, at the same time, a good reason to achieve your goals, despite of general rules that society sets.
