The Birds is a book and a movie, and they both are interesting. There are similarities and differences when looking at the movie. The movie does not compare to the book in my opinion. I thought the movie was very funny. In the book I could imagine and feel what the characters were feeling, and for me it was much more serious but not that scary. There are a lot more differences when you compare the movie to the book, but when reading the book there are actually enough similarities that you know maybe the the movie director's actually read the book. The similarities are few and far between. The thing is there are some, but not as many as the differences and they are general things. One of the similarities was the fact it was costal town; it …show more content…
Here is what I think; the book was not as exciting as the movie was so they had to do something to have people even consider watching it. I have to admit if the movie had been the actually story, it would have been pretty good. They changed it so that it would appeal to other people, and also it was a bit scarier than the book was. The movie also had a variety of different characters and more places and action. The book just didn’t have all of what the movie had so they had to do something to make it more exciting. They threw in Melanie and Mitch’s relationship giving that romantic air to the movie, and by adding more characters it made to where they could go into town or the school. It would have been weird to go into a town and no one was there even though there should be. If the director’s hadn’t changed the plot, it would have been a very boring movie with cliffhanger ending making people annoyed, upset, or just bored. The Birds is a very interesting movie and book. Even if it had a lot of differences and a few similarities. The thing is the movie directors had to make the changes or the movie wouldn’t have been that exciting, and the movie was funny even though it was meant to be scary. Both versions are unique and interesting in their own ways. I overall enjoyed reading and watching The
The first similarity is the conflict of the story. The conflict of this story is when the cobras, Nag and Nagaina, are trying to get rid of Rikki, the mongoose, the boy, Ted, and his parents. In the book the cobras said, “When there are no people in the Bungalow,did we have any mongoose in the garden? So long as the Bungalow is empty, we
The similarities are prolific in their presence in certain parts of the novel, the very context of both stories shows similarities, both are dealing with an oppressed factor that is set free by an outsider who teaches and challenges the system in which the oppressed are caught.
I think that most of the event in the movie were not in the same order that Jeannette had wrote them. After reading the book I had a different picture in mind of how each character would look and it threw me off for the rest of the movie. I did like the fact that I could see what was happening and not just imagine things in my head that I thought was happening, as I was watching the movie I was seeing the same thing everyone else was and not just what I was picturing while reading the
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.
There are many major similarities and differences between the book and movie forms of the Secret Life of Bees. Three similarities are that in the movie and the book, June and Lily grew to love each other in the same way, Lily and T-Ray’s relationship was the same and the reason Lily ran away from him was the same, and finally, Lily and Rosaleen have the same relationship. Three major differences between the two forms of the Secret Life of Bees are that T-Ray finds Lily and Rosaleen in a different way in the movie than in the book, there is no Mary Day celebration or vigil in the movie, and finally, in the book, Lily narrates how she is feeling and what she is thinking. On the other hand, she does not do this in the movie. There are many similarities and differences between the movie and the book forms of the Secret Life of Bees, causing the movie to be missing many important details.
Though very similar, the movie gives the themes something more. The way they approach a situation and how they show the symbols seem to relate the message clearer. The book does the same but some parts may not be as specific and relatable as the movie. But, both contain the two most important symbols, the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg and Owl Eyes. Without these two symbols, both the book and the movie would be impacted for the worst and leave major themes out of the storyline.
I liked all of the events in the book and how they showed Mattie’s determination to catch her dad’s killer. I did not like the movie because of how they changed some of the main events and how they changed some of the characters in the book. If the movie was just a movie then it would have been a good movie but it was created from a book so I think it should be just like the book.
Overall I thought that the movie was a very good interpretation of the novel. It is very rare to find a movie that follows the book so precisely. I think that even if I had not read the book I would have understood the movie well enough to follow along and understand Gaines’ message. I thought it was very moving, especially being able to see the characters of the book come to life in the movie.
As most everyone knows, there are differences between a book and it’s movie adaptation. This is applicable to the book and it’s movie counterpart To Kill a Mockingbird, as well. But aside from the differences, there are also similarities between these two.
Now for the counterargument. Some people say that they enjoyed watching the movie after reading the book. They may say that they think the movie does follow the book, and that the characters and events are the same in both versions. However, they are wrong because there is plenty of evidence that says otherwise. The different scenes of the book and movie, and also the characters that are completely different and don’t follow the same path in the two different
Some similarities are obviously that they are both slaves who are trying to escape their misery. The characters also have a good relationship with their fathers because they taught them how to care for themselves and what to do when they need
... almost nothing alike from a superficial aspect. The stories have different historical contexts and they simply don’t have much in common to the average audience. It is easy to contrast the stories, but deep within certain elements, the stories can be linked in several ways.
Second there is more detail in the book than the movie. Well, I think that more detail is better because the more you know the better you understand the movie or
The movie The Kite Runner is based on the book and it contains both subtle and explicit differences as all books and movies do. Both the book and the movie have very compelling and moralistic themes though at times the movie’s themes seem limited. The themes presented throughout the movie and the book are penance, loyalty, prejudice, religion and growing up. The characterization, overall plot of the movie and the setting of the book seem to be consistent with each other though at times they both may vary both slightly and drastically.
The book and the movie were both very good. The book took time to explain things like setting, people’s emotions, people’s traits, and important background information. There was no time for these explanations the movie. The book, however, had parts in the beginning where some readers could become flustered.
