Compare And Contrast Movie And Play
In the play I think it came more to life because the period of time that was used can be related by more people. Meanwhile in the movie, I think the differences made it come more to life because there was a clear story with an introduction and background for each character instead of being plopped right into the the action. Furthermore, the characters were believable in both the movie and the production since I could clearly tell that each character had a clear personality while watching both of them. If I was the director of the movie, I would’ve wanted something that gave the movie life like extra scenes and characters to give the movie more depth. If the play production was directed by me I probably would’ve stayed faithful to the script

    The changes in the movie are deeply flamboyant. One of the biggest changes is the main event for the cause of the Salem Trials. In the movie, the audience sees the girls running to the woods very surreptitiously, practicing witchcraft, in the play it was mentioned through dialogue in Act 1. In addition to changes, in the play Reverend Hale states that he signed 72 death warrants, but in the movie he signed 17 death warrants. There was only one deletion that I saw that was very noticeable. In the play when John Proctor was accused, he snached his warrant out of his wife Elizabeth's hand, but in the play he never showed any anger towards Elizabeth. Further…

    One of the major changes from the play to the movie is that both Mama and Ruth are given more agency; they have more power and aren’t just trapped in the house all the time. A major example of this is when Ruth goes to get the abortion. There are several extra scenes that…

    I like the movie a christmas carol more than the book. The story a christmas carol has been a very famous story for a long time. The move was better because you could see the actions the charters was taking. Every time the charters mood would change in the movie the lighting or the music would change.…

    One of the biggest differences between the play and the movie is the dramatization of everything, they show all seances with something that the play could not deliver by itself. One example of this is the opening scene, we see Abby violently swinging around a dead chicken and then smash its neck open, and proceed to drink the blood. This violent display was show in the play to be more calmly done. A whole other difference is the placement of the scene, the movie having the whole dancing in the forest scene at the very beginning of the movie, whilst the dancing in the forest portion of the play is learned about more and more through the girls talking about it after the fact.…

    Differences between the two start from the very first scene. In the movie we see all of the girls and Tituba in the forest dancing and casting the spell, while in the book they only reference that it happened, but is never shown in the play. This scene is the most crucial part in setting up everything that is going to happen in the play. The fact that the play does not show this doesn’t let the readers actually visualize what happened like the movie does. Another difference in the scenes is that in the play the Doctor goes to visit Betty, but in the movie he goes to see Ruth and Reverend Parris says that Betty is the same…

    The first difference is that there were some scenes added or adapted in the movie, as opposed to the play. First, the large group of "stricken" girls, which indeed had a greater number than did the group in the play, left the church meeting at the beginning of the movie to see about Betty's condition. Betty seemed to be much more violent in the movie and she tried to jump out of the window, which did not occur in the play. These details were most likely added to augment the idea of "mass hysteria." A scene was added in the movie, showing the hangings and cheers of the crowd watching, also to add to that effect.…

    The settings, however, are very different. The play takes in place in Italy back in Shakespeare’s times, but the movie takes place in the 1990s at a high school in Seattle, Washington. The language, clothing, and technology in the movie is much more modern than in the play. Another thing that is different is how the patriarchal society in the play (which can be seen with lines such as Petruchio’s, 'Women are made to bear, and so are you') changed into more of an equal society in the movie.…

    One of the most capturing scenes that really stands out between the two is the scene that depicts the funeral of King Hamlet. In the play there is not scene that depicts the funeral of kind Hamlet. However, in the movie the scene is present as well as very well depicted. In this case, we see that the director believes that the death of Hamlet the main character is important and key to the production of the movie. The director thought it was so important that he used it to replace the opening scene of the play. In the actual play the opening scene portrays the ghost of King Hamlet that appears to the guards on duty. This is also the scene of how the ghost is introduced into the play. The movie on the other end does not show this scene at all. The director completely ignores it and replaces it with what he thinks the audience will like more or will relate to more easily.…

    From watching the older and more modern version of the killing of Mercutio and Tybalt there are obvious differences, as well as hidden ones. The comparison is between the Zeffirelli version and the more modern version. Watching these movies, paying close attention is important because it is not just the scenery and which characters are played by whom, but what the director was trying to portray in this scene. Both these versions were very different and it is obvious that in both cases the fight probably meant different things or played a separate significant role in each movie.…

It was adapted into a film in 1961 by Columbia Pictures Corporation that was also written by Lorraine Hansberry. The film was intended as an interpretation of the play with many similarities, but there are several distinctions that allow each of the versions to stand as an independent work.…

    One major difference between the play and the movie actually occurs in the mood set in the two. An example is the marriage scene where Romeo and Juliet are in a very serious mood. The reader can tell this from the way the two relate to each other. Romeo says that the holy words the friar speaks can make something without an equal, which is a very intelligent thing to say. In the movie however the two are kissing and giggling the whole time, this portrays a bad image as it shows as though the movie wanted people to think that the characters wanted to look like fools and children and that they could do anything the way its normally done, thus making this scene not look very realistic. In real life young adults take issues seriously because they know it’s a major step in life.…
