    Personally if I read a book first and then watch the movie‚ the movie never lives up to the book. With this book To kill a Mockingbird I liked it better than the movie. The movie left out things I found very important in the book‚ along with other minor details. One thing the movie changed and left out was the way Jem and Scout got their gifts from Boo Radley. In the book Scout is the one who finds the first gift from Boo in the old oak tree in front of the Radley house. The first thing she finds

    think it is a great movie for this era‚ I had a hard time relating to the film. The advancements in film have made it hard to go back to older movies; things like digital effects and color have really made older movies seem like ancient history. The characters seemed over dramatized and unrealistic. The plot did not stick to the book and seemed to change some of the symbolism the Buck used. The book was much better then the movie and the movie did not do the book justice. The book is a good representation

    Fitzgerald‚ was recently adapted into a film by the famous director Baz Luhrmann in 2013. I have personally read the book and seen the movie and can say that the film closely resembled the original book. The scenes‚ character descriptions‚ and conversations were‚ for the most part‚ spot on. Many of the differences were very minor and insignificant. Regardless of how similar the film and book were‚ film critics and viewers had mixed feelings towards the film. They questioned many of Luhrmann’s decisions

    Contrast between the Movie and Book Version of “Animal Farm” I always think the book is better than the movie‚ and Animal Farm is no exception.  One reason is that I form pictures in my mind as I read‚ and I imagine what each of the characters must look like and where they live as they live out their stories.  That’s especially true in a novel in which the primary characters are animals. Seeing it come to life in a cartoonish movie was rather difficult‚ though I did enjoy several characterizations

    watching "Last of the Mohicans" I found that there are many differences between the book‚ and the movie. Before I watched the movie‚ I thought it would exactly like the book‚ but I was wrong. If you were to read the book‚ and then watch the movie‚ you would be amazed at what they left out of the book‚ and vice versa. As I stated before‚ there are many differences between the book and the movie. For example‚ in the book‚ there is a character named David Gamut. This character follows his profession

    different from Samuel Spade of “The Maltese Falcon” motion picture. The book was written a good decade before that version of the movie was produced and in a much more casual time period. The novel focuses on making Sam out to be a more complex character than the movie does. He is not just “the good guy” as he is portrayed more so in the movie. The time period may have had a lot to do with the differences between the 1941 movie and the book‚ published in 1929. The first thing to consider is that the late

    In The Invention of Hugo Cabret vs. Hugo‚ the element of character relationships in the book and the movie are developed very differently. One example of this would be the addition of completely new characters in the movie that were not in the book at all. The director‚ Martin Scorsese‚ creates new characters‚ which add and build upon the relationships and add side stories to the plot line. Instead of cutting some of the plot as adaptations usually do‚ the film actually added additional story

    Do you prefer reading or watching the book Wonder? I would rather watch because‚ I am a visual learner. The movie has a better idea of expressing how the characters feel such as Auggie‚ Jack‚ Julian‚ and Summer. In my opinion‚ the movie has more creativity other than the book‚ where it adds non-sense. The movie shows us a visual picture of Auggie’s life and how hard it was for him. The book tells us the events that happen but‚ doesn’t show us. In the movie Wonder‚ Auggie and Jack got into a fight
