Potter: Book vs. Movie With all the new movies based on books or comics that are out‚ people wonder why Hollywood keeps doing it. Some say they’re greedy people‚ just doing it for the money‚ and others say that it helps bring the book to life. But I say‚ why ruin a good book‚ like Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone‚ with bad lighting and adequate actors? I say that we don’t have to because the comparison between the two forms of entertainment is a landslide victory for the book. You may

history of film making. However‚ there are certain aspects of the movie that could have been beter adapted. The main reason why these points have been missed may be due to the fact that Pier Paolo Pasolini meant to make a movie that carried a myth of the past to today and even tomorrow by starting the movie in Italy and carrying it to the past. What really bothered me while watching the movie was that Oedipus is too young compared to what we see in the tragedy and even more disturbing‚ he does not

Literary Analysis Beowulf exemplifies the traits of the perfect hero. The poem explores his heroism in two separate phases and through three separate and increasingly difficult conflicts with Grendel‚ Grendel’s mother‚ and the dragon. Although we can view these three encounters as expressions of the heroic code‚ there is perhaps a clearer division between Beowulf’s youthful heroism as an unfettered warrior and his mature heroism as a reliable king. These two phases of his life‚ separated by fifty

I. Movie Poster VS Book Cover The Movie poster shows the two main characters‚ Peter Lake and Beverly Penn who love each other. On 1916 in New York City when they meet and love each other. The style of color in the poser was Blue meaning it is a winter season on that time when they meet. When Beverly Penn died‚ Peter Lake got amnesia and he lives a century until he meets a little girl name Abby in 2014 that New York City was changed and have a more taller building

I like the book more than the movie. Audience reaction has to be taken into consideration in a way that books don’t have to. The audience‚ cannot‚ even for a moment‚ be confused as to who the "bad guy" is. Otherwise‚ you can have a teenage Scarface. "Moral Convenience" is what’s pissing you off. The HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones also does this. Good characters never "cross the line" where as bad guys say homophobic comments and express jealousy. This is the reason why fantasy-themed works

The book and the movie of ¨The Outsiders¨ are generally the same but differs at some of the parts. As books and movies usually do‚ they both share the same same story line and the general idea. Nonetheless‚ the differences are quite large. Both the book and the movie are very similar‚ or else it wouldn’t be much of a point to make a movie for a book. For instance‚ the both have Johnny killing Bob while they were drowning Ponyboy. Although it‚ like the book‚ doesn’t go into great detail about it

In the book and movie of To Kill a Mockingbird‚ the lesson of keeping one’s head held high is experienced differently. The lesson is openly stated in both the novel and the movie. Atticus says to Scout after a fight with Cecil Jacobs to‚ “just hold your head high and keep those fists down” (Lee 76). Scout had fought Cecil because she believed Atticus would want her to stand up for him. Yet‚ Atticus tells her the opposite and wishes she would let all the rude talk go rather than fighting those who

favorite authors so you would think that finding out that one of her books was going to be adapted into a movie would make me excited. However‚ due to previous attempts of portraying her works on film‚ I was actually left more skeptical instead (The pilot for the planned television series based off of Delirium was an absolutely disgusting mess). Thankfully though‚ this time things were done right. The movie stayed true to the book with minimal changes/cut out parts. There were some scenes that I wish

the society was going in Millers time. There were three differences in the book and the movie. The book added in the rooster crowing in the background at the end when John was about to be taken to be hung which was very helpful because it showed some different symbols. A difference in the movie was that there were more girls at the beginning casting spells. It wasn’t just Abigail and a few of her friends. The movie also includes that Reverend Hale beat Tituba into confessing that she was in the
