There are some events that are differences between the novel and film. First, the attacking of William Wallace against the British army when he knows that Murron does not present in the grove as what he said to her after the effort of British men to rape her. In the novel Wallace does not realize that Murron is caught by the British and they kill her by cut her throat. Wallace backs to his men in the barn at Campbell farm, among them Campbell and Hamish and they tell him that Murron has been killed by the magistrate. William, accompanied by Hamish, Campbell and four other men, rides to town to attack English and he defeats them and also kills Hesselrig, magistrate who killed Murron. This incident of Lanark raises William’s name through the village people and get their heart. This session is different in they way of attacking from the film. In film, after knowing that he can not find Murron in the grove, he backs to the town alone. He knows if Murron does not come to the place they have decided it means there is trouble with her. The only trouble that is possible is coming from British Army who try to chase her. He knows that exactly then his hatred to these men reaches the top. He rides his horse to the town and pretends that he will surrender. He drops his broadsword but he still keeps his dagger. Knowing William comes with no weapon Hesselrig asks his man to catch him but William hit these men and does what Hesselrig has done to Murron. The reason that may be can offer for the director to makes changing in this event is the director feel, I think, does not comfort with the way of William Wallace in the novel before the attacking of William to the town to pay the death of Murron, his wife. I think it does not meet with the character of William. William is brave, keeps his honour it is proven when he knows that Murron’s sister has to give her virgin to English man in her first night of

    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 that I noticed is concerning Curley's wife. In the book there is a scene where Lennie, Candy and Crooks are gathered in Crooks' room. After a while, Curley's wife emerges and the atmosphere becomes unpleasant. Crooks finds the courage to stand up against her, and when he does, she verbally breaks him down. In the movie this scene never takes place, and by eliminating this incident Curley's wife's destructive nature stays unrevealed.…

    Contemplate the fact that in the book, no women are present at the end of the novel, but in the film, women play a role in the reconstruction of the new society. Possibly, this difference reflects that the book was written in 1953, whereas the film was made 14 years later.…

    When English soldiers try to rape his wife, he interferes and fights them by beating all 4 of them. As he fights he asks his wife to take a horse and meet him at the place where they always go. She gets captured on the way as he escapes the setting. Even though this event is historically misinterpreted in the movie, Mel Gibson clearly gives us the true setting of the late 13th century and the rule of British Crown. Later in the scene, Wallace’s wife gets tide up to the poll by the general of the British post. Before killing her, he gives a speech, “An assault on King’s soldiers is the same as an assault on the king himself”. Now pause in here. By putting this words into this scene Mel Gibson trying to catch viewer’s attention and give them a feeling of what was it like right before the executions in the British Empire. Then general cuts the throat of Wallace’s wife. Many viewers, even critics, would find this scene very touching because as she was tide up to the poll knowing that she would die, she still waits for her husband to rescue her. As she look up the hill in hope to see him, the audience gets true feeling of Scottish peasants. Mel Gibson is trying to show that Scottish people waited for someone to rise up and rescue them. This movie is recommended for those who want to feel and admire the sites of late 13th century…

    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.…

    The Knight’s Tale movie demonstrates how the archetypal heroic knight creates a unifying viewing window from which a story can be viewed or perceived. William is this heroic knight, and represents a rallying point for the common observer to align with during their viewing. By its definition alone the archetypal knight is a desirable role that, internally, many wish they could fill. William as a character possesses this positive association, as well as being a more relatable character by being impulsive, headstrong, and rebellious. All of which are traits that the common man possesses to some extent, and thus can see themselves mirrored in Williams’s character.…
