Differences Between Book And Movie
The movie itself is very much different from the book. The story was also changed with some of the plot. The movie and the book are both still following the same story line. Along with the same ending. This is what I have noticed between the movie and the book.

Number one is that the old man was cruel to the young man. Unlike in the book where it says and I quote “The old man had never wronged me”. That was huge difference. This change also gave him a different reason to kill the old man. That was one major thing they changed.

The next thing I’d notice was the young man actually walked into the old man's room. In the book he just bursts into his room and does the cruel deed to the old man. In the movie they just look at each other. But in the movie as they look at each other the young man also walks closer. This was another major thing they changed.

Along with the fact he didn’t sit down with them insisting they rest. He also gave an explanation for why the old man wasn't there.

These are the different things that I’ve noticed within the movie and the book. Also there are more differences but the movie and book do have some similarities. For example in the book and the movie the old man still has treasures. He also still has what was described as a “vulture eye”. So the book and the movie were not completely

    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…

    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…

    Another difference between the book and the novel is Gene’s confrontation with Leper, in the novel Leper goes home after he is discharged from the army and confronts Gene there. In the movie version however, Leper flees to the woods outside Devon after he is discharged but is eventually spotted by Gene who follows him into the woods where the confrontation occurs. His fragile state after his experience in the army, was a huge point of interest for me in the book. The movie, I feel, was unable to capture his essence.…

    Another noticeable change in the movie verses the book was the emphasis on the different characters. The main character was indisputably Michael Oher in both the book and the movie. However, the movie put a strong emphasis on Leigh Anne Touhy (who was played by Sandra Bullock) and presented her as the second most major character aside from Michael. The book, on the other hand, had a lot more facts about Sean that the movie never presented. Leigh Anne was a key player in both, but in the movie, she seemed to be so much more of a main character that the other characters that stood out in the book did not do so in the movie. The major example of that was Sean Touhy who seemed to be the first one to invest in Michael in the book unlike the movie where he played a more quiet and uninvolved role in Michael's life. There were other subtle differences that could be noticed, like having the necessary GPA for an NCAA scholarship be 2.5 (movie) instead of 2.56 (book) which led to another problem to work around, or having Michael's fight be with the gang members in his old neighborhood (movie) instead of with one of his teammates at Ole Miss (book). Overall, however, the movie attempted to portray an accurate account of the book which made it enjoyable to read and watch both.…

    There isn't as many differences as there are similarities in the stories, but they are very noticeable, for example, in the book, Lennie is described as "big" and "dark around the eyes", but in the movie Lennie isn't fat and he is white so you can see his eyes clearly. To me, he looked pretty average except you can notice there is something wrong with him by the way he acted. There are many quotes in the book that aren't said in the movie. It's good to know that both stories aren't "exactly" the same. Then, if you read or watch one, you wouldn't have to read or watch the other. Unless you are supposed to be comparing or contrasting each, that's a different story!…

    On the contrary, in the movie everyone arrives by a ski lift to a cold, snowy mountain. Many of the indictments are changed between the two works. In the book, General Macarthur put his wife’s new lover in the frontline of battle, but in the book General Mandrake sends 5 men to their death. Miss Emily Brent scolds a woman into suicide in the book, while in the movie Miss Burgan kills her husband. Vera Claythorne let’s a young child drown in the book, and in the movie Ann Clide said to be responsible for the death of her sister’s fiance.

    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.…
