To Kill a Mockingbird Averelle Ulanski To Kill a Mockingbird is considered a classic novel around the world. To Kill a Mockingbird was released in 1960. The movie was released in 1962 pulling in over $15 million. The movie followed the same plot line as the book, but had many differences that may have changed the outcome. One of the differences include when Jem and Scout had had decided to sneak out to go over to Boo Radleys. Jem and Scout heard Nathan Radley come out and load a shotgun they then ran back home. Once home, Jem was caught without pants and questioned about it. Later that night Jem ran back to get them and found them folded and crookedly patched up as if someone knew he would be coming back for them. In the movie right after this happened Jem ran back for his pants, but he didn't wait like in the book. Instead in the movie, it shows Jem coming back right after to retrieve his pants, this is when Radley came out with his shotgun. This scene should have been acted out as it was in the book b...
The movie and the story had some of the same characters but some weren't exactly the same. The movie introduced many different characters and changed some of the others. For example, the movie had the plant lady and had the mentor of Anderton as the founders of Precrime while in the book, Anderton was the only founder of Precrime. Also, Witwer wasn't blond he had black hair and Kapler wasn't named Kapler he was named Crow. In the story they had the red head Fleming who did not exist
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

To Kill a Mockingbird is a 1962 American film, based on the novel of the same name by Harper Lee. To Kill a Mockingbird is a classic film about racial injustice, the loss of innocence and what it was like to live in the deep south during the depression era. When I watched To Kill a Mockingbird, I had many things I like about the movie and a few things I wish that could have been differently.
1. The movie To Kill A Mockingbird was based on Harper Lee 's Pulitzer Prize winning novel To Kill A Mockingbird. The movie was released in the United States on March 16, 1963. Many of the characters in this movie are relevant such as Boo Radley, Tom Robinson, Jem, Bob Ewell, and Calpurnia; however, this movie is a representation of what was seen in the deep south during the depression era through the eyes of a six year old girl named Scout. Because it is a narrative, Scout makes one of two primary characters. Scout 's father, Atticus Finch, is the other primary character; he is the morally righteous lawyer that decides to defend a colored man who is being accused of raping a white girl.
The differences in the movie and the book might have been intentional. If audiences were to read the book, watch the movie, and reach conclusions, I think they would have great understanding of what’s inside them both. For example, a scene in the movie in which Atticus tells his children why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird was not in the book; from that scene, I inferred on how that became the initial title of the book. By using both resources, I was able to gather information and grasp its contents tighter.
Usually movies try to take the story to a different level or by adding parts or just try to change it to a completely different story. Some of the differences between the movie as to the book are some little and large differences. They might also try taking little parts away that will change how the readers see the story characters. An example of that would be Walter not smoking in the movie (Pg 115). Walter usually smokes because he is stressed or just as a way to relax. Walter also does not get punched by Mam...
Each version also has the main characters boarding up the windows. Anyone who thought the birds won’t attack are usually found dead, but in the movie they are found with their eyes pecked out. Also, both the story and the movie have REALLY bad endings! They aren’t very similar, but they both leave you hanging. When you see a movie or read a book you want to know what happens to the main characters. In these two, you didn’t get an ending. They left you hanging and for some people that ruins it all.
To kill a Mockingbird was set in the 1930s, but published in 1960 when judgement in
Neither the novel nor film version of To Kill A Mockingbird is superior to the other, just different. In the book you delve more into the separate characters while in the film you see the relationships in action. The book gives you a broader view of everything, but at the same time the movie points out everything that seems important. Lastly, the novel shows Scout as a girl caught in the middle, when the movie seems to paint Scout as a girl without a inkling of what is going on.
Overall, there being numerous differences between the movie and book versions of To Kill A Mockingbird causes the scenes of Jem and Scout going to church with Calpurnia, the school scene in which the Ewells, Cunninghams, and Scout’s teacher and classmates are introduced and talked about, and the scenes with Aunt Alexandra and other Finch family members being left out to be a completely different experience for the viewer and reader. On an overall scale, the book describes much more and is easier to follow and understand than the movie. The book also tops the movie because it has the factor of suspense, while the movie rushes through topics and events, even skipping some.
In the movie, it is told in a third person point of view and the characters look a lot more different than how they do in the book. The movie goes by much quicker than the book. Also Pony goes straight home after the church burns down.
There are many differences between the book; To Kill a Mockingbird and the movie. Some differences are easy to spot and some aren’t. Many things that are in the book aren’t in the movie. Many of these things you don’t need, but are crucial to the plot of the book. Movies and books have differences and similarities, but many things in books MUST be included in the movie.
The book To Kill a Mockingbird was written by Harper Lee. It was published in 1960 then it went on to win the Pulitzer prize in 1961 and was later made into an Academy Award winning film.
The similarities are quite apparent, the movie plot mainly follows the basic plot that the book took, leaving the viewer’s with a sense of accomplishment, as this is sometimes not achieved in the highest degree. Scout still has a brother, Jem. They both still meet Dill and have a few adventures with him throughout the film. Jem and Scout still have a single father, Atticus, having lost their mother many years ago. Calpunia is still their cook. And the whole story still has an overpowering sense of focusing on two main stories, Boo Radley (Arthur Radley) and Tom Robinson’s trial.
