The movie, “Fahrenheit 451,” was different from the book of Fahrenheit 451, was one difference in the move was that Montag went out with Clarisse on his sick day so he could devise a plan, but in the book he stayed home and devised his plan, and also there was no Mechanical Hound or Professor Faber and Granger in the movie. Based on the book, Professor Faber and Granger were major characters because they emphasized the themes, “three things are missing,” and the “phoenix.” The missing components, "Number One: quality of information. Number Two: leisure to digest it. Number Three: the right to carry out actions based on what we learn from the interaction of the first two […]" where the problems of the novel and in the movie. People found it offensive to read books so they burned it. The Phoenix describes the resurrection and rebirth of society as…
A review of, Requiem for a Kingfish: the strange and unexplained death of Huey Long by Ed Reed.…
The Schindler’s List is Steven Spielberg’s award-winning film which illustrates the profoundly nightmarish Holocaust. It recreates a dark, frightening period during World War II, when Nazi-occupied Kraków first dispossessed Jews of their businesses and homes, then forced them into ghettos and labor camps in Plaszów and finally resettled in concentration camps for execution. It is quite terrifying to think how far the Nazis were able to go with their murderous ideology. Which is the primary component of what makes the novel and film so nerve-wracking. It is difficult to imagine how an entire group that were so dehumanized by another group of people and were killed as if they were nothing but ‘bodies’ without minds or emotions. The film opens up with a close up of hands lighting a pair of Shabbat (Sabbath) candles, followed by the sound of a Hebrew prayer blessing the candles it sounds similar to the call to prayer for Muslims minus the embellished throaty notes. One of the only color scenes in the film, it quickly fades to black and white and brings us to our setting for the majority of the film. It is 1939 at the…
There are some movies that are adapted from the novel such as Harry Potter, Da Vinci Code, Twilight Saga, The Hunger Games and Lagenda Budak Setan. What are the differences between watching a movie and reading a novel? There are some contrasts between the two actions. One of the differences is by watching a movie, you just need to sit and relax. It is very easy since you only need to watch it and understands it. Furthermore, you can watch the movie while doing something else such as eating or exercising. You do not really have to focus like to imagine how the atmosphere is in the movie at that time or how a person is walking down the streets. Lastly, you can avoid disbelief since it is a multi-sensory experience. On the other hand, by reading…

The movie of Of Mice and Men had many differences while still giving the same message that the book was portrayed to have. One of the major differences was that Candy never came into the room when Lennie and Crooks were talking to each other. This was major because Crooks never found out that the plan was true about the little house. In the book after he heard Candy talk about it he wanted to get in on the deal. Also the movie it never showed Lennie have his illusions of his Aunt Carla and the rabbits when he was waiting by the pond. The last major difference was that George never hesitated to shoot Lennie in the movie and in the book it was very hard for him. After George shot Lennie, Slim came to comfort George and take him out for a drink.<br><br>The characters in the novel and the movie had many differences. In the book George was shown to hate Curley with a passion. In the movie George didn't seem to like Curley too much but he definitely didn't hate him like in the book. In the movie Curley's wife seemed to be attracted to Lennie and enjoyed his presence because he was nice. In the book she talked to him only because she was amused by Lennie's stupidity. Lennie was explained as a beast in the book and, "his shoulders could fill the doorway." In the movie he was stronger and bigger than the others were but not to the extreme amount that the book portrayed him to be. Every other thing about Lennie was extremely as the book told it.<br><br>I felt that the movie was wonderful and I loved it as much as I loved the book. I would give the movie a 10 because it was so great. The only parts that I didn't like were in the end it didn't make me as sad as the book made me feel. I felt so into the dream the Lennie and George shared that I was sad when it was destroyed. I am sure that if I didn't watch the movie in a classroom I would have gotten more out of it but none the less it was a masterpiece. Unlike all of the other movies that are translated from a book this one…
In the book The Big Sleep, and the film The Big Sleep, I saw many similarities and many differences. Both book and film intrigue the mind of the reader and viewer by introducing different plots and characters through out the book and film.…
Cultural heritage defines who we are as a person or society. It is a bond that ties the people of a region or community together. This is learned and passed from the elders to the new generation but to achieve this, it has to be translated into representations such as art, language and religion. Hence to force a human being to reject and change these things is subduing or taking control over their culture. This action is practically taking away their identity and forcibly changing their values. The importance of culture lies in the fact that it is a link between people and their value systems. The ‘Stolen Generation’ which refers to the generations of children that were an Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent who were taken from their families by the Australian Federal and State government agencies and church missions, under acts of their respective parliaments, is an epitome of this damaging action. This action of subduing of a culture lost was a significant theme represented in Matt Ottley’s remarkable multi modal work entitled Requiem for a beast. Ottley cleverly utilised several visual conventions, symbolic codes, and written techniques that enhanced my understanding of this theme.…
Moreover, the setting of The Giver book and film differ. The book, like the movie, takes place in the boundaries of a nameless community, something that started after “Sameness” when all of the memories were erased and everyone became equal. While the film has no discussion of “Sameness”, and instead refers to it as “the ruin”, the basis is the same. The look and feel of the movie, however, is more futuristic than that of the book. In the book, for example, characters take pills to stop “stirrings”, what is understood to be sexual desire, while in the film all community members must take a daily injection. Other small details include the fact that there are no retina scans to open doors in the book; instead, there is a secretary-like person.…

It is argued that 1984 is the most influential dystopian drama in the modern era. Due to its popularity, the novel was translated from text to film, under the direction of Michael Radford in 1984. During this process, vital background information was lost. Therefore, it is apparent that the novel is more powerful compared to the film. This is because it provides background detail to vital connotations and concepts compared with the film. The anagogical concepts of Newspeak, Double think and Oligarchical collectivism in Emmanuel Goldstein’s book are explored in greater in the novel. Furthermore, the scenes are more detailed, as evident in chestnut tree café. Because detail is lacked, the audience is left questioning scenes, leaving the cinema…
John Milton believes it is his responsibility to enlighten the world that predestination and free will can exist simultaneously. He uses the very well-known story of Adam and Eve, and elaborates the details to establish the theme of an epic. Adam is caught in a horrible situation between Eve and God. He has been told to not partake of the fruit of the tree of knowledge, but his wife Eve has disobeyed and eaten some of the fruit. Adam’s first thoughts aren’t even to deny the fruit and let Eve fall alone. The thought he goes to is of “God creating another Eve” (9.911) and him being depressed with this new woman. She would be a replacement, but the true Eve “would never from his heart” (9.913).…
