Persepolis Film and Book Comparison Persepolis the movie doesn’t really deviate from the book all too much. Except for a couple of scenes in color‚ which were set outside the time frame of the book‚ the film basically followed the book.

Outsider don’t because there are too many changes between the book and the movie. I was very disappointed with the movie by Coppola. The Movie by Coppola is a big disgrace to the book by S.E Hinton. Three things I notice with the most changes were characters‚ setting‚ and plot. Francis Ford Coppola changed the character around a lot. Three characters that had the most changes were Ponyboy Curtis‚ Johnny Cade‚ and Dallas Winston (Dally). In the book‚ Pony had a good relationship with his brother
