    Christmas Carol” is a very famous story. It has had movies made for it. The movie version of this story is more appealing to me than the story versions of the movie has a better set of mood and is better worded than the book.

    The 1977 version of “A Christmas Carol” by BBC is a very accurate rendition of the book it was based on by Charles Dickens written in 1843. This movie comes with its strengths and weaknesses‚ most of its weaknesses coming from the quality of the film production and the movie’s strengths coming from it’s striking resemblance to the earlier made novel. The short movie mirrored the book in so many ways that only really small details were left out such as Scrooge going to the tavern to get his dinner

    The movie adaptation of The Great Gatsby maintained true to the original book by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Although mostly everything seems to stay the same‚ some movie scenes differ. Nick’s character is tweaked and Gatsby’s parties are not the same. The movie also creates more false hope than the novel does. Nick Carraway is the first character introduced into the book and movie‚ but in a different aspect. F. Scott Fitzgerald introduces Nick right away as the narrator. He is giving a monologue about

    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

    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
