The Outsiders Movie
What I enjoyed about The Outsiders is that the movie was very interesting throughout the entire thing which I like because there are no dull and boring parts. Me as a watcher of the movie The Outsiders I think they made a great movie because I can relate kinda because when my great Grandpa as a teenager was living in italy he was kinda in the same situation as all the teens where in the movie.
I picked the movie over the book. I think the movie has way more interesting scenes and overall I like movies way more thans books in my opinion. Movies are always good from the beginning to end in books you have to read chapters to get to the good part which i don't like. One similarity between the book and the movie was in the scene when the school

    The Outsiders Movie Vs Book Essay

    The Outsiders is both a great book and a great movie. Although they are both very great, they are not completely the same, or completely different. A book that turns into a movie usually has way more information because the person writing the book isn’t just going to make it a movie line for line. The movie “The Outsiders” doesn’t work like that though. The book and the movie are about as close to line for line as you can possibly get. They have to add some scenes in movie to explain the thinking of the characters, but they also have to subtract scenes from the book to shorten the movie. The book, The Outsiders, and the movie, “The Outsiders,” are alike in many ways.…

    Summary: The Outsiders

    “It seems like there’s gotta be someplace without Greasers, or Socs with just people. Plain ordinary people.” The novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton takes place in Tulsa Oklahoma during the 1960’s. The novel shows how a gang of seven greasy boys deal with society being divided into “Greasers” and “Socs”, however along the way they face hardships including death. In the novel, “the outsiders” were considered people who didn’t fit in. In this case the “Outsiders” were: Ponyboy, Cherry, and Johnny.…

    The Outsiders Movie Review Essay

    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 Outsiders “When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home” (Hinton 1). This was the sentence that started the craziest week of Ponyboy’s life. Ponyboy is a 14 year old kid who lived a normal life just like everybody else. He went to school, watch movies, and disliked the Socs.…

    Walter Mitty Compare And Contrast Essay

    First of all, one of the biggest reasons the movie is better than the book is because of the quality of the flashbacks. In the book the flashbacks were more set in the past and much longer, sometimes too drawn out and a little boring for how much background story there is for just one day dream, whereas in the movie the daydreams are a bit shorter but more set in the present and more affect by what he does in that moment with little background because of how short they are and how close to the present they may be. The daydreams are usually much more exciting in the movie as well, whereas in the book it's set back to just a boring doctor surgery, that was…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Comparison Essay

    As you watch a movie, you can see a big difference between the movie and book. In the book and movie, “To kill a Mockingbird”, there is a difference between them. They are both different because the book has more details about situations that are happening. Also, because of the way you can picture what is going on. They are similar because in some parts in the movie, the characters say the same things as to when you read the book. In my opinion, the book gives you a better understanding of what the story is about because of the details it provides.…

    A River Runs Through It Essay

    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.…

    That Was Then This Is Now Analysis

    I liked the book better than the movie because the book had more details. The movie made Mark and Bryon seem like punks. They didn’t regret any of their actions most the time. The book showed how they really felt and made them more relatable to the reader. The book made it easier to understand why they were doing what they did. Their characters were more open and enjoyable in the book. The movie made the boys all seem like jerks and the girls seem dainty or bratty. I like the book because the time period they were in. The 80s theme was great but the 60s was better for the story. The movie was good but it just didn’t do justice to the book. I love the fact that the book has the greasers and Socs. The movie didn’t really have any of the greasers in it besides Angela’s brothers. I don’t like the fact the movie didn’t have those or the hippies in it. They were an important part of the storyline. The book was just more enjoyable than the movie for…

    The Outsiders Film Critique

    The Outsiders did not fit the criteria of being one of the films of Francis Ford Coppola. Critics were largely unimpressed by the movie but did well enough at the box office. The Outsiders was based off the novel, published in 1967, by S.E. Hinton. It is about a character, Ponyboy, who lives with his two brothers, Darry and Sodapop. All of them battle class warfare along with their fellow group known as the Greasers, the poor kids, against the Socs, the rich kids. The movie by Francis Ford Coppola, The Outsiders, was correctly critiqued as unimpressive because it negatively gave viewers a different viewpoint on the stereotypes about teenagers, it did not have the same elements in comparison to the other Coppola films, and the presentation of the settings of the film was poor.…

    The Outsiders

    The name of the movie I have chosen is The Outsiders. The reason why I chose this movie is because it was one of my favorite movies to watch when I was in middle school. I remember in middle school that I was in a reading and writing class where the teacher provided students several books to read together as a class and The Outsiders was one of the novels. I always had an issue with reading since I was kid even today in college because I have a reading comprehension disability where I have a hard time remembering what I read as well as having trouble pronouncing words. This was such an awesome book and for the first time I was able to understand the whole story. The whole class actually enjoyed reading this book. Whenever the class finishes…
