Emo The Musical, Short VS Feature

So as part of a little series I've been doing I'm going to compare which version of Emo The Musical is better! (SPOILER WARNING)

So, if you haven't read either the Feature Film Review I would recommend reading that first, then reading the Short Film Review of the movie.
Alright now that's out of the way, I want to give a spoiler warning for this post. Turn back now if you don't want spoilers!
LAST WARNING FOR SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, the character of Ethan is very different form the short vs the feature. In the feature film, he is willing to compromise his beliefs so he can be with Trinity. Yet in the original short, he still wanted to be with her but he wouldn't change who he was. 
Now with Trinity, in the feature she was constantly trying to convince Ethan to convert and she does get what she wants. By that I mean, Ethan gets baptized, and sets aside his values for her, but in the short he stands up for his values but still accepts that hers are different and he's okay with that.
There is just so much more feeling from the short rather than the feature length version of this film, and I think it was reflected in the scores I gave the films.
Now, there are good parts to the feature length version, but they don't convey the tone the short was going for very well.
In the end, I think it's fine to watch both, but if you are going to watch only one of the two, then just watch the short.

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No per...
