    I believe the movie was told very differently than the book because a movie director is entertaining a different audience than an author of a book. A director has different goals and thoughts to portray than the original book. The director is given certain artistic freedoms to help better connect with the audience and sometimes that makes the story change a little…

    The Perfect Storm

    While watching the movie, I could see that the main characters in the book, both their names and traits, were the same in both the movie and book. However, aside from that there were many different aspects between the movie and the novel. Unlike the book, which spoke about other boats that were caught in the mist of the storm, the movie mainly focused on the Andrea Gail, a swordfishing boat, which was heading straight into the eye of three storms colliding. The movie didn`t portray an important aspect, when the Andrea Gail was replacing and upgrading its gears in the beginning, but the book did. That played a key role in why the Andrea Gail was caught in the storm in the first…
