There are many similarities and differences that can characterize the movie and the book as different or similar. The movie provides a lot of differences to separate the movie from the book. There are some similarities to that really make the book and the movie similar too. I liked the book better because the book expresses Charlie’s thoughts and his development better.
The book Hoot and the movie Hoot are very alike and very different. Some people like them both but some people only like one, or neither.
F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, “The Great Gatsby”, and Baz Luhrmann’s film, “The Great Gatsby”, both have similarities and contrasts between the two of them. The Great Gatsby is a novel and film taken place in the 1920s filled with wild parties, mysterious people, The American Dream, and most of all, love. There are several things that can be compared between the novel and film; such as the characters and the setting. There are also contrasts between the two as well; which is mainly involving the character Nick.
Overall, the movie and book have many differences and similarities, some more important than others. The story still is clear without many scenes from the book, but the movie would have more thought in it.
There are few similarities between the book and the movie. Usually most movies are similar to
The movie and the book are different in many ways but at the same time they have a lot of things in common, the movie doesn't have as much details as the book does but it is a very good movie. In the movie you can very easily see and understand what's going on being you are watching the whole thing with your eyes. The movie also shows you how the students have to fight each and everyday just so that they protect themselves in the streets, the streets is all they know because well they were born and raised in the streets so they learned all about it & are about it. In the movie you can clearly see the struggle they go through, and how the streets are & when they're in school. School is supposed to be a safe place for all kids.
All in all, the book was, by far, much better than the movie. This is because the book can give us a better view of what Craig is thinking and feeling because he is our narrator. It is easier to see what is going on in his head and why he is doing what he is doing. The few changes that the screenwriters made didn't influence the story much but it would have been much better if they kept it the
In the novel Big Fish by Daniel Wallace, we are told the story of Edward Bloom, a man of many adventures, who is somewhat of a myth. Big Fish is a collection of the tall tales Edward tells his son about his life, and also of the effect his tales had on his son. The novel comes from an American author from Alabama, while the movie comes from Hollywood and is directed by Tim Burton, who is also American. This story is not an ancient sacred text, so the story’s function(s) is to entertain and to make money.
Certain scenes seemed powerful and well interpreted. Both Ralphs and Piggys were well selected and portrayed in both movies. Simon in the second version seemed too young for the big role he was given in the book. Also if you notice in the second movie, the director added kids of color. A huge drastic change since in the book they were all English boys in during World War II. When you think about it, you imagine them blonde, blue eyes, and fair skin. So to add different ethnics in this movie was a bold move, you wouldn’t know how the people would react to that. Which brings me up the accents of the boys. One movie actual English accent while the other was an American accent. The author emphasized that the boys were English and to put kids with American accents set the thing off. Which brings up the choice of language in both movies. The black and white version they used a lot of dialogue from the book. They mostly made the movie just as the reader would imagine. While in the second movie, the director’s choice of foul language for Jack to use towards Piggy was a shocking reaction to the viewers, as you didn’t expect him to say that.
The movie started with the train car, then to Leisel’s arrival on Himmel Street, and everything leading up to Max’s appearance. Also, in the course of the movie and reading the book, the mood was the same. Both had a sad and dark mood, considering the setting, which was in Germany during World War 2. It was undoubtedly a hard time, and they both emphasize it quite well. Continuing on, the actors and actresses chosen for the film were alike to how the reader would imagine them. However, there is one similarity that came off a bit negative, which was the use of narration in the movie. Both contain a narrator, but the narrator in the the movie simply didn’t fit. It did not seem necessary and even when used, it just did not have the same effect. Death in the book seemed more relatable, like one could make a connection with him, but in the movie, it was purely just a man talking. Speaking of negatives, the differences between the two were rather
In both the novel and movie focus on the war. The war influences the characters to enroll.Also, the main setting is at the Devon School. However, in the novel Gene visits Leper at his house but in the movie Leper lives in the woods.In the novel Gene is coming back to the Devon School 15 years later.However, in the book he is coming to Devon as a new student.Therefore, similarities and differences exist in time and setting in the novel and the movie.In the novel and the movie there are similarities and differences in events, character, and time and setting.
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.
While watching the movie I noticed several differences from the book. I noticed while in the book they had crash landed on the island with no adults in the movie they cashed in the ocean and drifted to the island. I also noticed several other differences. In the book it seemed to be going slowly but i the movie they seemed to be moving very fast. I disliked the move for how different it was compared to the book.
One thing that can make a book good is characters. In the book, there were many more animals in the farm. The movie did not show many animals except for the main animals. Even thought this is a small difference, it can be noticeable. In the book, Mollie was a character.
After reading the book and watching the movie 1984 there were similarities and differences between the two. The novel is about manipulating people in believing in something that isn’t really there and about erasing history. Both the book and film focused on: authority, government, and war. The book and film follow the theme of conformity to control society.
There are many similarities and many differences between the book and the movie. In the movie Of Mice and Men there are over 15 differences. For example, the first major difference from the book and the movie is at the end of the in the movie George does not hesitate to kill Lennie, but in the book it was very hard to shoot him. He first aimed the gun at Lennie and then put the gun down but he had to put the gun back to Lennie head. That is a major part because George hesitating to shoot causes suspense and sorrow. George‘s best friend that he has been through everything with and he has to kill him. The director changed this scene to change the tone and outcome of the movie. The book had a better ending than the movie because it makes you feel depressed also the movie did not get as intense as the book did, because the director explained the outcome a different way.
