The story‚ and movie “The Speckled Band” have many similarities. Julia’s room in both the story‚ and movie was the same. In the movie it looked exactly like what was described in 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

However‚ due to previous attempts of portraying her works on film‚ I was actually left more skeptical instead (The pilot for the planned television series based off of Delirium was an absolutely disgusting mess).

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.

This is the reason why fantasy-themed works

The sun shone down brightly as Tyler and Zoe pulled into the parking lot. Its bright rays reflected by the white snow covering the trees around them. The sound of their doors opening and closing scared the few birds left in the forest. Their speedy escape shook the tree limbs. Their rustling mixed with the flapping of wings created a torrent of sound in this peaceful place. “It looks amazing‚” Zoe’s voice sounded harsh to Tyler.
