I think, hopefully along with you, the reader that books are greater than the movie, especially in this case. For some extra details, here are some good mentions. The book, produced in 1886, had more evidence that Alan had committed the Appin Murder than the movie! Also, the plot and timing of character scenes were off. One example was when Davie asked the woman in the book where the House of Shaws was, in the movie it was a man! Also, in the book, the woman had hatred for the House of Shaws, when in the movie he had no hatred that would of made the movie slightly more…
S.E. Hinton was only 15 years old when she wrote this extremely detailed book. I liked her book a lot because of how much detail she put into it. I didn’t like the movie a lot because I was kind of expecting it to be a lot like the book but was disappointed when it left out many different parts of the book. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the book was more effective in telling the story.…
I liked the movie better. I personally did not really like the ending of the book. A. Square got to see the 3rd dimension, something no one except the council knew about. I thought there was going to be a big revelation at the end of the book, but instead he gets thrown into jail and basically forgotten. It was like nothing happened. Not even his grandson found out.…
The settings I imagined while reading the book were very different from what I saw in the movie. Some of the characters such as Kenny and Byron were shorter than I imagined, but Joetta was taller than I imagined her and Grandma Sands looked very different than I imagined. I thought she would be tiny, really old looking, and very mean. She wasn’t really any of those. The settings were very different such as the church and the Watsons house. I thought they would be more dated. Their house wasn’t modern, but wasn’t as old as I imagined from the context clues in the book. Overall I liked the movie better because it had more information about racism and I felt I learned more about it. I think I would like the movie even better if it had Rufus as a character, but it was still a great…
Based solely on the novel of Divergent a movie was made lasting two hours and nine minutes. This isn't a short span of time for a movie yet, could it be pure coincidence that they left out some details. Could it have been some of the effects were to gruesome for a film rated PG-13? Or were these actions of leaving the details out more purposeful? Does it give the movie somewhat of a different meaning than the original script of the book? So it brings into question, who wrote it better the writer of the novel Veronica Roth, or the director of the film Neil Burger?…
Book to movie adaptations are very common to find now of days. Some examples are: Hunger Games, Divergent, Paper Town, ect. All book to movie adaptations have many differences, but also many similarities. One of the popular book to movie adaptation is Divergent by Veronica Roth. As Divergent started to climb to the best sellers list, the possibility for a movie was almost undeniable. Soon enough a movie was announced, and sold out box offices all over the world. There were many similarities, and many differences in this book to movie adaptation.…
To conclude, I think that the book and movie had many differences. Also the movie should have added more scenes about the book that was true. When they got older LeAlan went to college and became a businessman. Lloyd just went to college for one year and dropped out. Also David Issay won an award for having the best radio…
The main differences that I saw between the two were character development, details, and an overall better timing of event. Although the movie wasn’t horrible it did not develop its characters like the book was able to. Character development is a key aspect of a story that allows the reader/watcher to connect with the characters, understand why they make certain decisions, and to form emotional ties with the story. Throughout the book Orson Scott Card adds immense details on Enders life that allow us to connect with him. Some of the details that the book showed that the movie did not were Enders hatred of Peter, intelligence, and the effect being a third had on Ender. All of these combined allowed us readers to connect and understand Ender which eaily increased the enjoyment from reading the book. All of the characters were developed in the book in such a way that brought them all closer together and explained some of the weird situations in the book and movie. There were many details that did not make it from the book to the movie which caused the movie to be boring and have less meaning behind certain important scenes. A prime example of this is Enders important strategy of not just defeating the enemy, but destroying it. The book showed three great examples of this that add together and allow us to better understand why Ender acted so…
The dramatic structure and the predictable execution of twists didn’t stop me from giving this lot, a starred review. That is saying a lot. Rick Riordan truly knows how to engaged his readers and make us root for his characters.…
All in all, I have no criticism for the film. In fact, I believe this film is such that it could be expanded upon to create a full-length feature or at least a more substantial film. But of coure, that requires time and resources that the filmmakers may not have at their disposal. Both the joy and agony of indie films. Phenomenal stories without the restrictions of the studios but also without the funding of the studios.…
Some actors acted and appeared entirely different in the movie than the book. The directing and special effects were okay in some scenes, but half-baked and lousy in others. Furthermore, the characters are developed far less in the film and many semi-important scenes in the novel are excluded in the film. Do not watch this movie unless you have read the novel (or even if you have read it). If you haven’t read the book and decide to watch the movie instead, you will fail to understand the complicated relationships between each character and between the Socs and Greasers and just think the movie is substandard and all aspects of the movie lacked in action, emotion, or just seemed like they were not well thought out. A 3.5/10 may seem harsh, but I was not pleased. Just go read the book instead. It had the potential to be a great film, but severely missed the…
The book was better than the movie on account of it had way more details, and it had more parts in it than the movie did. It is extremely time-consuming to fit an entire book in a less than two hour long movie, but authors and readers can produce a book as long as you want. Although the movie took a shorter time to watch than reading the book did, the readers can retrieve more from a book than they can retrieve from watching a movie. Even in movies that into feeling by the book scene for scene there is still less detail in the movie than there is in the book.…
There were countless small differences in the film as compared to the book, things such as shuffling the order in which chapters appeared in the film. For example, the beginning of the film took a different path than the beginning of the book. In the book the first chapter set the tone for the rest of the book, describing the firefight and all that had gone wrong, Burning into your mind the thought of Ron Kovic lying on the ground bleeding, paralyzed, screaming for help and hearing people get shot all around him. The beginning of the film is a different story all together. It gives you hope, it lulls you into believing that this is a happy story, the kind where everything always works out in the end. It is not until after the entire buildup of the character, after you feel as if you know him, that you see this scene. The accidental killing of the civilians, the baby, the killing of the corporal, all these things happen before you find out that this soldier, this Marine, will come home paralyzed.…
I didn’t at all expect for the movie to be a carbon copy of the book, but the things that they left out didn’t seem to change the effect of the…
The Fault in Our Stars: Book & Movie Comparison The Fault in Our Stars is a well written book. After I read the book I watched the movie and I noticed some major differences. Some important scenes that were in the book were not in the movie.…
