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

Peter Jackson recently directed a trilogy of movies that are an adaptation of the book The Hobbit. There are some disappointments in the films such as the additional characters and storylines. Some of the supplementary storyline does help to serve as a backstory and shed light on why the characters are undertaking what they are on the expedition. However a majority of the additions to the movie only function to confuse the watcher on what was happening and generate action for the spectators when

a plethora of differences in the movie and the book version of Beowulf‚ however‚ the version of the movie is more understanding. The movie gives me a more detailed version of Beowulf.

For this assignment I watched the movie The Giver because although I had read the book before I didn’t actually remember much about it. Even though the book is better than the movie‚ I actually really enjoyed the movie and found it extremely interesting. It all begins with the memories from the past were being erased and a boundary being set to keep the memories away. Everyday everyone would mandatorily have to get injected even though they didn’t know why‚ they would happen because they found to

Most often when a book or a poem gets made into a movie‚ there are many similarities and differences amongst the two. This was no exception for the epic poem Beowulf‚ translated by Seamus Heaney‚ and the 2007 animated motion picture “Beowulf.” It became evident rather early on in the film that the directors had interpreted the poem far differently than what it was made out to be when it was originally written. In the opening scene‚ King Hrothgar is illustrated as fat and slobbishly; almost like a

Mary Sow The plot that leads to the revelation of the scandal in the newspaper and the suicide of the three protagonists is similar in both the novel and the film. However‚ there are visibly several differences between the film and the novel. Unlike the novel‚ where the author Junichiro Tanizaki takes his time to vividly express events‚ the film has a relatively shorter span to fit the same plot. However‚ it is the film whose scene seems to better capture the emotions of the audience. The plot is
