Receiving a 5/5 stars from http://commonsensemedia.org can be viewed as a major accomplishment‚ therefore it is no surprise Louis Sachar’s Novel "Holes" was made into a movie. However Andrew Davis made some interesting variations on how he told the story. In my opinion the biggest differences where Stanley’s appearance‚ Sam’s death‚ and Mr. Sir’s role. At first these may appear to be accidents but they are there for very specific reasons‚ they are there because the director targets your eyes‚ and

due to the stereotyping that are depicted in the films or TV programs which we watch. The effects of language management‚ in a movie with a “multilingual” storyline‚ is of adequate importance to ensure that the stereotyping portrayed are positive.

He seemed to appreciate the “winking and rib poking” that is a trademark of the Deadpool story line. While acknowledging the movie’s shortcomings‚ the author casts them

ending is quite famous‚ a movie called "Othello" was created in 1995. The director of this play wanted to not only keep the movie as close to the play as possible‚ but also have a unique way of getting the plays message across to the audience. The difference we see between the play and the movie is how they interpreted the character Iago and Othello by the way the director uses movie tools and Othello’s ethnicity. A book can get the message across much easier than a movie can. In a book you can write
