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. Also when Julia’s hair started to whiten. In the movie you could see when she was just about to die her hair did start to turn a grayish-white‚ and in the book it said that her hair was starting to turn white too. Also when Dr.Roylott came into Sherlock’s office Sherlock was calm. In the movie Sherlock was very

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). Thankfully though‚ this time things were done right. The movie stayed true to the book with minimal changes/cut out parts. There were some scenes that I wish

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

Scout had fought Cecil because she believed Atticus would want her to stand up for him. Yet‚ Atticus tells her the opposite and wishes she would let all the rude talk go rather than fighting those who

Last year‚ we decided to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief‚ and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters. My siblings and I had read and loved the books‚ written by Rick Riordan‚ so we thought‚ “How bad could it be? It would be amazing to see these incredible stories onscreen!” We were wrong. Every member of my family who had read the books agreed that this movie destroyed the intent of the original
