Davie Movie Vs Book

In the book, Davie fell overboard. Oh, wait, in the movie, the ship blew up. Never mind the fact that the movie was much more violent, it was completely derailed of the plot! Yes, many of the people out there like guns and bombs, but the book had many more twists and turns then the movie. I will show you one comparison I noticed. In the movie, Davie’s dad died from a tree falling on him. In the book Davie’s dad was shot. Also, the book itself didn’t start with Davie’s dad dying , it started with Davie’s dad being dead, and Mr.Campbell telling him that he belonged to the House of Shaws. Also a misfortune for the movie watchers, the trip only took 2 miles, and in the book, it took him 2 days. Therefore, there was much more events in the beginning of the book.

Since the two are very different, I will tell you 3 differences and similarities that I noticed. One difference was Mr. Shuan, an important character, wasn’t even in the movie! He had killed Ransom and that helped Davie escape. Another difference is that Ransom didn’t die in the movie, or at least not the original way. We saw him on the boat before it blew up in the movie, in the book he died in the hull. My last difference is that The Long Mile Gang didn’t exist in the book. Some evidence that proves the flick wasn’t crazy wrong were (1) Alan did wear a blue coat
when the murdered the “Red Fox” in the book and movie. That was important to string together that Alan had committed the Appin Murder (2) Clooney let them stay in his cave in the book and movie. Therefore, this helped Davie and Alan escape the redcoats. (3) Alan does stab someone in the roundhouse,where they fight, in the book and movie. This was more important in the novel because the male that had gotten stabbed was Mr. Shaun, who had done a major part before in the movie. That has wrapped up most of the good evidence.

This is why I am positive the movie was bland compared to the book.
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
comical.
