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.

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

Last year‚ we decided to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief‚ and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters.

When I first watched the movie‚ I read that the producers were debating if they should have divided the movie into two parts due the book length. For this reason‚ a lot of print text was deleted in the movie; while other scenes were added to give the audience a deeper view of some scenes. One clear example that the movie was changed‚ is the scene when

One thing I did notice about DiCaprio playing Gatsby was he over used Gatsby saying “old sport” in the book he does say it a fair amount but not as much as he does in the film. In the book it seemed very much so that Jordan Baker and

If a director were to make a movie the exact way a book was written‚ then the movie would be four to five hours long. Not a lot of people would complain about it‚ but there is a cost limit to the movie as well.
