Beautiful Creatures Movie And Book Comparison
Many books have been made into movies. Although we may have enjoyed the book, we may not enjoy the movie. One book that was made into a movie recently and had many things different in them is Beautiful Creatures. There are three main things that are different throughout the story in the movie compared to the book. One thing that was different was the characters or cast. Then another thing that stood out the most was the friendship and chemistry between Lena and Ethan. The last thing that is different and completely changes the plot is the ending. Books can be different from movies and this one is truly the most different of them all. Picking characters is a hard thing to do when making a book, but picking cast for a movie is even harder. While reading a book your imagination starts to get a brief idea of what the character would look like. Lena, one of the main characters is played by a very gorgeous and sweet girl. In the book it …show more content…
Lena also has a necklace that she wears throughout the story, filled with charms from her past. In the movie they only show this necklace once, which takes away many parts were things happen because of the necklace. Ethan, another main character is a young man that is not that popular in school. In the movie though he is a jock and overly popular, which causes more conflict. Ethan’s father in the book was mentioned a lot, but he stayed isolated because of his wives death. Since Ethan does not have a great fatherly figure in his life he always having nightmares and is very emotional. In the movie the father of Ethan’s is never mentioned or seen the whole time.

    Why is it that when a book gets it’s own movie that there are several differences between the book and the movie? Some people argue that the book is always better than the movie. There is a reason for this. Firstly, in most book to movie adaptations small details are changed or are just not included. Secondly, the movie often takes short cuts and doesn’t touch on certain aspects that were described in the book. Lastly, when reading a book you are free to make your own subtext and fill in the blanks with your imagination. The movie adaptations of books have always lacked the detail that's in the book, some things are completely cut from the movie to maintain a well paced story, and it fills in the gaps for us making the experience less unique.…

    The first noticeable major difference is how the story is told. In the novel, Jon Krakauer writes from his own point of view, providing his own input and opinions on McCandless, while the film is told in his sister’s point of view; she is scarcely mentioned in the novel, aside from the fact that Chris was very fond of her. The shift in narrators in a way limits the amount of information that can be delivered to the audience. Though the narration by Chris’s sister adds a more…

    The Alfred Hitchcock movie, The Birds, was said to be based on the DuMaurier story by the same name. Both versions included birds going wild and attacking humans. They also included some of the same things, for example, in the movie and the book, they boarded up the doors and windows to repel the attack, and someone is found dead at a farm with their eyes pecked out. However, the similarities are not as numerous as the differences. There are many contrasts between the story and the film, particularly in the areas of characters, and setting.…

    In the birds the book and movie are really different. To me i really preferred the movie over the book but the both seemed pretty pointless and pretty stupid because like in the movie the characters have different names. In the movie there was also a lot of really bad actors. Whereas in the book you didn't have to worry about bad actors you just would read.…

    Some of the characters in the film are how they are portrayed in the book, whereas many are quite different. In the book Ivy Lloyd (Poison Ivy) is Josie’s arch enemy and Carly is just someone who is mentioned in chapter 8, whereas in the movie Ivy and Carly have been blended into the same character. The fights between Josie and Ivy have been omitted and they don’t reconcile their differences at the end. Also in the book Josie has three friends, Anna, Sera and Lee but in the movie Lee has been blended into both Sera and Anna. In the book Lee has a different point of view and brings more to the group of friends. Other characters such as Josie (Pia Miranda), John Barton (Matthew Newton) and Michael Andretti (Anthony LaPaglia) are well casted in these roles for the movie because they looked like they were described in the book. Christina, Josie’s mum, looked too much like Marcus Stanford in the movie and in the book was described to look more Italian. All in all the characters in the movie were very good interpretations of the characters in the book.…

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…
