I feel like the movie is helpful for us to identify the differences in old movies and current movies. We can see from their attire, settings and so on that they are from a different era. It is a good movie for us to analyze and the plot is easy to understand as it follows a steady pace, starting with exposition, the conflict, the rising action, the climax, the falling action and the resolution. The story also implements a value in the us in the sense of we need to appreciate our family and how important it is for humans to have an emotional connection with someone.

As for the actors, I feel like Sandra is a perfect fit for Lucy as she sounds so humble and sincere whenever she talks. Each character plays their roles perfectly, especially Michael Rispoli as Joe Jr. seems like a very funny guy that provides the comedy relief, but also a good friend to Lucy.

The story is about Lucy Eleanor Moderatz, a lonely woman who works at the Chicago Transit Authority as a fare token collector. Her parents have passed away, leaving her alone without any family members except for her pet cat to keep her company. She has a secret crush on a handsome man named Peter Callaghan but she has never spoken to him personally. Jerry Wallace, Lucy’s employer approaches her one day, trying to persuade her into working on Christmas Day as the other employees have plans with their families. Being the only one without a family, Lucy reluctantly agrees to work on Christmas Day. When that day comes, she sees Peter being pushed onto the tracks. She saves him from the oncoming train and he falls into a coma. At the hospital, a series of events causes a misunderstanding that made Peter’s family to believe that she is his fiancée. At first, she did not have a chance to explain and end up keeping the secret, mainly because she is worried for Peter’s grandmother, Elsie as the latter has a heart condition. As she spends time with the Callaghan, she finds herself falling in love with the family. Then, she meets Jack Callaghan, Peter’s brother after spending a belated Christmas with Peter’s family. He is suspicious of her at first, but falls in love with her after spending some time, getting to know her. Soon, Lucy finds herself falling in love with Peter’s brother too. When Peter finally wakes up after New Year's Eve, the family assume that he has amnesia as he does not recognize Lucy. Peter’s godfather, Saul persuades Peter to get to know her and propose to her "again" which she accepts, even though she is in love with Jack. On the day of the wedding, Lucy finally confesses to everything and tells the family she loves Jack and not Peter. Towards the end, while Lucy is at work, Jack tosses an engagement ring in front of her with the whole family beside him. He then proposes to her.

I feel like the filmmaker has succeeded in executing this film as the plot is very simple to understand and not confusing. For example, throughout the movie, Lucy would explain about her background, either through monologue or dialogue with other people. The pace does not seem rushed, as we have the characters getting to know each other without any disturbance. For example, when Jack walks Lucy home after Lucy helps him carry the sofa to Peter's apartment. Therefore, the idea of Lucy and Jack falling in love with each other does not sound very ridiculous, unlike with Peter as Lucy does not know Peter as a person.

I personally like the movie. At first, I thought it would be a bit boring but Lucy's character is very relatable in the case of everyone can be lonely. Everyone searches for that someone that they can laugh and grow old with. Lucy seems very lonely without a family and she is content just by the company of people around her. For example, when she spends time with the Callaghan family during a belated Christmas, she just sits there quietly, observing the others opening their gifts. She looks at them, content. I also like the filmmaker would slip in some humor here and there. For example, when Lucy tells Peter's family about his one testicle and whenever Joe Jr. would visit Lucy, he is always rejected in a slightly light-hearted and humorous way.

Conclusion: I feel like the successful point of the movie is how important a family and company is for a human being. As evidence, Lucy seems so lonely even with her pet cat. She does not have anyone to talk to. When she decorates her Christmas tree, it seems so lonely compared to when she sits with the Callaghan family. She seems happier with Peter's family. She even admits in the movie that she has fallen in love with the family. The movie is very helpful as it provides this raw feeling of loneliness that people tend to have and it shows that when you have family and friends beside you, you feel more alive and vibrant. It helps people understand how desperate a lonely person can be in order to have someone to talk to and just spend time with.

The title of the movie is 'While You Were Sleeping' and I feel like it fits the movie because while peter is sleeping, Lucy meets his family and Jack. She spends time with them and starts feeling less lonely. She finally has someone she loves and a family she can be a part of. In the ending scene of the movie, Lucy says that he told Peter that she fell in love with Jack while Peter was sleeping.

The exposition starts at the beginning of the movie when the female lead, Lucy talks about her father and her crush. The beginning also reveals her employer, the place that she works at and the overall setting. We can see from the beginning that Lucy is in love with Peter and she is lonely, without any family members to celebrate Christmas with. I feel like this can be the problem that she faces in the movie.

The rising action is when Peter has finally woken up from his coma. This is when Lucy realizes that she needs to come clean and confess to the family as Peter does not know her personally. This is also around the moment where she realizes that she has feelings for Jack, Peter’s brother so she is caught up in her lies and the fear of hurting the Callaghan. Her problems have become more complicated.

The conflict in the story is introduced during the beginning of the movie when she is misunderstood by Peter’s family. Lucy has to pretend to be Peter’s fiancée in order to not hurt Peter’s family. In the rising action, the conflict becomes more complicated when Peter wakes up from his coma.

I also feel that Lucy’s loneliness and her desire to have a family to spend the Christmas with can be interpreted as the conflict in the story because it is the female lead’s internal conflict with herself. Other than not wanting to hurt Peter’s family, due to Lucy’s desire and loneliness, she continues to pretend to be Peter’s fiancée.

The climax is during Lucy’s wedding ceremony with Peter. She confesses to everything and admits that she is in love with Jack, and not Peter.

The falling action is when Lucy starts explaining why she continues to pretend to be Peter’s fiancée and the whole family seems to forgive her as they look at her with understanding expressions. Jack also seems to be happy that Lucy is not truly engaged with Peter.

The resolution is when Jack and his family visit Lucy at her work before he proposes to her as the movie ends with them getting married.

The dialogues used in the movie are very easy to understand, even for non-native speakers like me. I feel like the dialogues mostly involve the characters, talking about their lives and them getting to know each other. For example, whenever Lucy and Jack would spend time together, they start talking more about each other and this is good, in my opinion, because even if Lucy has gotten to know Jack in a short time, she actually knows a lot about him, unlike with Peter.

Each character plays a part in the movie. Lucy is very kind and brave, this shows when she jumps onto the tracks to save Peter. I feel like this is important because Peter’s family starts to take a liking to her because of her kindness. Jack seems very down-to-earth which would be very suitable for a character like Lucy who needs someone that understands her, unlike Peter who seems self-absorbed as somehow he feels like the world revolves around him. He does not seem like someone who would sincerely be there for Lucy and understand her. Joe Jr. is like the comedy relief in my opinion because as kind as he is, he always makes me laugh with his unrequited love towards Lucy. The Callaghan family is very accepting and kind which is exactly what Lucy needs.

The setting is in California, and during winter. It is bright during the day and romantic at night. Whenever Jack and Lucy would spend some time together, I feel like they spend it at night. For example, when Jack brings the family’s gift to Lucy and he walks her home after she helps him with the sofa. It seems even more romantic with the snow and the calm surroundings. The background music is also very soothing but at the same time, suits the Christmas theme. When Jack confronts Lucy about her ‘pregnancy’, they were also meeting at night time where he follows her to her friend’s party. Even during the night, the atmosphere seems vibrant with Christmas decorations. The characters’ attire seems to be mostly coats as the setting is during winter but only when they are out of their houses. They usually wear casual clothing unless there is an event such as the wedding where the characters would wear accordingly. Peter, however, even in the beginning he seems to be wearing suits, indicating that he is very businesslike, maybe, unlike Jack who wears casual clothes, and seems very relaxed.
