based on classic novels. The epic poem Beowulf goes very much into the importance of the Christian overtones whereas the film version attempts to omit the religious atmosphere with other possibilities of events. The movie version of Beowulf adds certain aspects to the story‚ such as the creation of Beowulf’s son‚ and the suicide of Hrothgar‚ while also omitting the emphasis of religion that is omnipresent in the text version.

character of Beowulf. I really like the original features of the fictional character but I am going to display them in a different manner. I am choosing another fictional character to play in this new production. This will be the new and improved perception of Beowulf. I would like Peeta Mellark from the Hunger Games to play the new Beowulf. At first it may seem like an odd comparison but I have found characteristics that have lead me to my decision.

have personally always thought that books have given a story more justice than the movie‚ and there has only been one incident where that was not true. I believe Of Mice and Men‚ although banned in literature for many reasons‚ has both its strengths and weaknesses in movie and book form.

This supports the idea that everybody has a story‚ which contributes
