The two that we are most aware of was an older version made in 1974 with director Jack Clayton‚ starring Robert Redford as J.Gatsby. 39 years after the 1974 movie‚ a new Great Gatsby movie came out in 2013‚ in which

Gatsby stays fairly faithful to the novel‚ but there a few scenes in the movie that have been changed from the book. The first difference is where Nick Carraway‚ the main protagonist of the story‚ narrates from. At the beginning of the movie Nick is checked in at a sanitarium for his “alcoholism”. A doctor in the sanitorium asks him questions about his time in New York and Nick responds with how he arrived there. Later into the movie the doctor requests that he write his experience in New York down on

This is similar to the expiry dates on the androids‚ which allows him to share the experience of having a ‘limited time’ to live‚ and thus hold empathy towards them. Much like the androids exploiting him in the book‚ his condition and his connection with Tyrell is taken advantage of‚ as he allows himself to be reluctantly convinced to arrange a personal meeting with him‚ triggered by Roy’s suggestion- that Pris will die soon if he does not find a way to extend

The movie and the book Like Water for Chocolate are both well written. I enjoyed the book because it had a different layout than the other books we have read thus far. The film was an asset to see because it followed the book so well that it gave you more ideas about things that you might not have totally understood while reading it. This is the first Spanish movie that has had such a positive effect on the book which makes the movie that much more amazing. When reading I tried to focus on

The movie‚ Philadelphia‚ was an excellent example of the severe discrimination many people with Aids are exposed to. In this instance the main character‚ Andy‚ was also gay. Unfortunately‚ in our society‚ he was faced with a double whammy. The gay issue is controversial enough‚ but to compound that in the work force with having Aids would be almost unbearable for any person to cope with. Tom Hanks played Andy with a serious need to communicate to the viewers how everyday life‚ work‚ emotions and

point when this novel was to be transformed into a movie‚ the director was sure to have faced many the difficulties of transforming a novel into a film. It is hard to do so‚ while making this film essentially the same as the novel. The film did have some missing pieces‚ but I do believe the director did a decent job capturing the intent and meaning of the novel. In To Kill a Mockingbird‚ there were numerous similarities between the novel and movie. The standout amongst them was the actions of Atticus

Journey or Suicidal Folly? Compared with oriental people’s implicit quest for freedom and truth‚ people in western countries are more direct which means that they pursue their goals through practice. The book‚ Into the Wild‚ tells a story about a guy who had a philosophical journey. The book shows a process of a person’s spiritual growth: from the yearning for the absolute freedom‚ a kind of irrepressible impulse and force‚ to the yearning for the happiness.

The book and movie are completely different. It ’s like comparing apples and oranges. (I ’m assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce). The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book‚ but he is never a large character. (This is a really long book‚ so I ’ll just put in the basics).
