There are many differences and similarities in both the book and movie of Ben-Hur. Especially the differences in the character's actions and behavior of the problems they face. There are many differences in the beginning because the movie begins with the birth of Christ, but the book begins with Judah and Messala talking to each other. The movie also shows one important character that is not mentioned much in the story. In the movie, Esther takes Amrah's place, and it only shows Amrah once. In the book, Esther is not an important character, but Amrah is. Also there are some similarities between the movie and book about the chariot race Judah and Messala participated in. Although the book and movie can be different it could both have some of the same events. The book begins with Messala and Judah talking to each other, and meeting up after five years. The conversation continued on until Judah noticed how much Messala had changed, and he called him out on it. Both men get into an argument, and that eventually …show more content…
Even if both started the beginning very differently it was still easy to understand the purpose of the events. How Esther and Amrah's roles were changed was very interesting especially seeing how the movie used Esther compared to the book which only mentioned her a couple of times. Amrah had great purpose in the book especially how she was able to keep the secret of Judah's mother and sister from him was very pressuring on her. The chariot race scenes had both similarities and differences like the cheating, and another opponent getting trampled, but still had the same outcome. Judah still had his victory in both the movie and book even when certain actions were changed. Even if some things were changed, both the movie and book got one point across, and it was that everything gets better at the end, and that Jesus is the Son of
There are many examples in both movie and book that compare and contrast to each other. I felt that the book and movie portrayed characters differently. The main character of the book was Jon Krakauer, the book told about the way he felt about people and his struggles and toils. In the movie I felt
While watching the movie, I could see that the main characters in the book, both their names and traits, were the same in both the movie and book. However, aside from that there were many different as...
There are many differences and similarities in the book, movie, and both. The book is some what different from the movie. There are many differences between the book and the movie. Like when PonyBoy and Johnny went to the movie theater Pony wished that he was big and buff like the guy in the movie.
To begin, there are many similarities and differences in the characters personalities. One similarity would be Aunt polly not having the hear Tom when he was being naughty in both the book and the movie. Another similarity would be Huck and Tom always acting michiviouse they’re always going on adventures and causing trouble for adults. One difference would be Huck in the movie seemed a little self centered, he seemed that way because when he had the chance to help Muff he didn’t want to because he was scared he would be killed by Injun Joe. Another difference would be Muff seemed more caring in the movie like when he was telling stories to the kids and he took them in the cave which made you feel a little sorry ...
A movie rarely does a book justice, the To Kill a Mockingbird movie truly brought the book to life. However, the book is still better than the movie. The book is far superior because, the movie deviates character development by leaving out certain events, the movie is missing key characters such as Aunt Alexandra, and some casting choices took away from certain characters.
There are many similarities presented to the audience between the movie and the novel. One
For all the differences the film had from the novel, it was basically the same story just told in a more cheerful way and was more about the Joad family. However, the differences did not take away from the film; they might have made the film even better. No matter how different the film was from the novel, they both have succeeded in their own respective fields and remain classics to this
There are usually differences in two different versions of something. This can often be seen when a book is made into a movie. There are many similarities and differences in the book and movie versions of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
For example, Mama goes to the bank in the movie and is given a hard time about paying her mortgage, but this did not happen in the book. Another major difference is that the school bus scene, where the Logan kids played a trick on the white kids, was not shown in the movie, even though it was an important part of the story. There are some character changes as well. Lillian Jean, Jeremy, R.W, and Melvin are Simms’ in the book, but in the movie they are Kaleb Wallace’s children. However, the main plot difference is how the movie starts in the middle, summarizing everything from the first part of the book very briefly. Additionally, many scenes are switched around and placed out of order. Altogether, the plot and character changes contribute to my unfavorable impression of the
I have only included what I have to believe are largely important plot gaps and differences in the movie version in comparison to the book one, and so I apologize again if I have missed any other major ones. Forgive me, please.
Three things that were similar and different include the following. In the book it showed they lived in an annex above Mr.Frank's business. In the movie it also showed them hiding in a secret annex above Mr.Frank’s business for hiding from the Nazis so they didn't get caught. Another similarity that happened was Anne and Peter start liking each and visited each other and visited each other in the attic, which was also in the book, along with the movie. There are a lot of similarities that were in the movie and the book, but these are just some of them.
In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.
When you get to the beginning, middle, or end u realize they are both very different. The movie and book have a lot in common like they both have the same characters .
The plot in the film is very similar to the book but in parts, especially towards the end, the plot is slightly different to the film. The plot is varied in the film to show
The characterizations of the main characters are not so much different in the movie than in the book but are incomplete. The movie does not show the depth and secret desires that motivate the characters and does not allow for on to sympathize and really get to know the characters. The movie follows the basic outline of the books plot but does not incorporate all of the small details that make the book so profound. In contrast, the setting in the movie and the book is mostly identical. One line in the book tells the whole story of Amir. The line is said by Rham Khan and it is “There is away to be good again.” The line tells Amir’s true desire and that is to atone for his sins as a kid. Since both the movie and the book focus on that one line they are both more similar than different. In conclusion, although, the movie was not just like the book and emphasized certain themes more than others it still told the story and shared the lessons the book
