    Into the Wild: Book vs. Movie Into the Wild happens to be my favorite book‚ and also one of my favorite movies. Most people like one or the other‚ but I think the two complement each other because of the varied stances taken on the main character himself. In case you’re not familiar‚ Into the Wild is based on the true story of Chris McCandless who‚ after graduating with honors from Emory University in 1990‚ gave his entire savings of twenty-four thousand dollars to charity and set off following

    Frankenstein: Movie vs. Book Mary Shelley?s Frankenstein has been done and redone many many times. The most recent version starring Kenneth Branagh‚ who also directed it‚ and Robert DeNiro has many differences when compared to the original story. Mary Shelley?s original story provided a story line for the imagination of the filmmaker‚ making the movie related to the original story but also unique in itself. For the most part‚ if one were to only watch the movie they would have a fairly good sense

    ENG.2 5/23/2011 The Road The Road was both a phenomenal book and film. While reading The Road I was both intrigued and interested as to how Hollywood would portray this story‚ and after seeing the movie I was impressed with how closely the film followed the book. Though the book was enticing and unusual the movie quickly surpassed the book in my opinion. Though the movie followed the book closely‚ there were some differences such as the amount of flashbacks the father has‚ the illusion of hope

    Finally‚ the long-awaited movie adaptation of the Giver is here. However‚ no movie adaptation stays completely true to its source material‚ and the Giver is no different. The Giver movie sustained some massive changes to its characters and plot‚ not all of which were good. The movie changed the characters’ ages. In the movie‚ the characters were aged to the average dystopian-fiction age. While Lily only aged a year‚ Jonas and his friends aged a lot more‚ jumping from twelve to eighteen. This

    Man with a movie camera” For some reason I related this film to Andy Warhol‚ don’t ask me why. Then read it was made by a guy from the soviet union‚ which changed my expectations a lot. I got to say that a movie from 1929 didn’t sound very exiting. This film is just fantastic. I thought Koyaanisqatsi was the ground zero when talking about documentary-like-experimental-films‚ so now I dont respect Godfrey Reggio as much as I did before. I mean Vertov is the true genius. I’m assuming this is

    iSuzanne Lind – Movie review - Cinderella Man I chose this film because I’ve always been a fan of motivational sports movies. They all seem to follow the same formula. Athlete overcomes adversity and goes on to become champion. The voyeurism in watching these heroes struggle‚ never backing down until they ultimately prevail gives me the much needed kick in the ass when I’m feeling down not to give up on my own hopes and dreams. Granted I have two left feet and almost no athletic ability the universal
