“The dominant spirit‚ however‚ that haunts this enchanted region‚ and seems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air‚ is the apparition of a figure on horseback without a head.” Although the movie Sleepy Hollow is based upon the book The Legend of Sleepy Hollow‚ there are also distinctions which allow each to tell their own tale. Washington Irving’s short story inspired Tim Burton’s film but did not limit it. The foundations of the two are much the same but their story lines unfold diversely

The film version of Persepolis is quite similar‚ however‚ the intention of the film is slightly different than the book.

The Movie or the Book? Nicholas Sparks has written multiple novels that have evolved into movies‚ such as The Notebook‚ The Last Song‚ Dear John‚ Message in a Bottle‚ and A Walk to Remember. The movies previously mentioned are as equally good as the novels except for Dear John. To me‚ Dear John is one of the best books written by Nicholas Sparks‚ yet the movie is the worst. The plot is excellent‚ but it is poorly portrayed in the movie. Several literary elements are found in both the movie and the

The film and the play were both very good but the film helps me understand the play better. Some of the differences between the play and film are the acting in this movie made the play not very interesting and at times the film was comical when the play was serious. The direction of the film did not deviate far from the original text. The characterization seems to be different from play to film with certain characters

Schindler’s List‚ directed by Steven Spielberg‚ captured the true emotion and raw experiences during the Holocaust. Unlike many textbooks and movies‚ Spielberg was able to really help the audience understand the trauma many went through. The movie was created in the 90s‚ but it was purposely made in black and white so that the colorful symbols stand out more. Maus‚ written by Art Spiegelman‚ is a graphic novel that shows an up close and personal perspective on the life of a Jew during the Holocaust
