This is the trailer for the Woody Allen film, Match Point, made in 2005. It is a movie that shows a different perspective of the American Dream. Rather than working up the social ladder, the main character gets quite lucky and marries into the fame and fortune of a “Utopian-esque” lifestyle. Critics claim that it instills many ideas from Theodore Dreiser’s An American Tragedy. This novel and movie provides a different perspective than The Pursuit of Happyness because it shows how a great and fortunate lifestyle could actually end up initiating negative consequences. Lust and luxury becomes overwhelming and quite devastating to the lives of the character’s portrayed in both sources.
