The Book vs. The Movie
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow written by Ivring was a very interesting story that is well known around the world today. The movie was far more entertaining than reading the book If I must say so myself. Tim Burton gave a new spin to The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I myself have always enjoyed anything written or directed by Tim Burton because of his sense of horror and his creative abilities. The characters are redefined even though Tim Burton strays away from the book and put his own ideas into what should happen in Sleepy Hollow, because of this the story is altertered and more lifelike and connectable. Bron who was very important in the book is even hardly recognized in the movie even though he was willing to give his life for his love Katrina. Bron who actually did give his life for Katrina in the story is horribly overlooked in the movie.
Although the book and the movie differ is many extremities, the movie tends to leave out the setting city ‘’Terry Town’’. Also the movie calls the tree the Dead Man’s Tree but in the book it is given a proper name. In the story Bron was thought to be the Headless Horseman. This movie was far easier to follow then the story. Also it was more interesting than the story in my opinion or it could just be that I enjoy anything with Jonny Depp in it. “The forests had put on their sober brown and yellow, while some trees of the tenderer kind had been nipped by the frosts into brilliant dyes of orange, purple, and scarlet.
