The view of society on rock and roll
Rock and roll played a vital role in society by educating and scorning devious acts of society. The cultural practices conducted today were influenced by rock and roll. A lot of people did not like the music because Black Americans started it. Especially parents resented the music since the music encouraged youths not to follow the rules and question them. Also, the music singers were viewed to be drug addicts who had no had gone astray. The movies also show that rock and roll singers are suicidal as Sid killed Nancy.
Mostly the lyrics of the songs had vulgar language. People, mostly adults, resent the music that was sung. More so, the music was not pleasing to white Americans as the music integrated the culture. The rock and roll, little by little, made society realize that all of them are despite color or gender. Hence, the music contributed positively to the abolishment of racism as seen the music was also pleasing to young girls who were selling drugs.
The focus was both on the people making the music as well as the music itself.
As it is vividly seen in the movies, people focused on music and some on musicians singing the music. For instance, the whites did not listen to the music since it originated from the blacks Americans. At another point, the parents denied their children to listen to music since it had a vulgar language that was not suitable for them. Furthermore, the people who sang the song were not pleasing, so the songs were loved by teenagers and young girls fast. In point of view, the people concentrated more on the music since, despite Sid's murder case, the children were still ready to listen to the music after his release.
Dream Girls
Summary
The dream girls are a movie about three ladies: friends; Detroit, Effie, and Deena, who had a soft spot for fame and wealth. The girls were starving hard to make a name out of themselves back in the 1960 s. In the pursuit of their career, they were invited to a contest where one famous manager noticed them. The manager known as Curtis Taylor had gotten married, but despite it, he had a habit of making love to his singers to pay back to what he offered.
With this, the three lasses who were very young and attractive were a little hesitant to agree to sing along with their womanizer boss as the backup singers for a bang called James Thunder Early. But as soon they realized they were already in, they had no choice but to take the job. Along was Effie's brother, who as well as a talented musician who was engrossed by it.

Society view on the music
The movie's plot tries to portray that the women are supposed to be supporters of men as it is supposed to be. Therefore if men are the ones to be the heroes, this is vividly seen in the movies the Dreamgirl since, after all their achievements, they stopped pursuing their dreams of fame and prosperity and preferred being in a family setting.
The plot also shows how women in society have to succumb to challenging situations while pursuing their careers. In the movie, the boss is known to abuse those who work for him sexually, making him lack those who are willing to work for him. The act is a reflection of the society were are living in today. Many women get sexually abuse in the workplace as they are making ends meet. They are making their life miserable at the place of work. The writer also conveys a message that the quest for prosperity in life should not take the place of family and friends.
What the movies focus on
From my perspective, the movie focuses mainly on the singers since we have tried to show how the three friends came to be famous by singing and all they underwent to reach their goals. At one point, the singers had to leave their well-renowned life and start a new life with the family. Also, the movie has shown how they started until how they ended. The shift of character from being led by their boss to being independent and one of the girls emerging as their leader shows the movie focused on the characters, not their music.
