    Of Mice And Men: Book vs Movie As we all know‚ there’s one thing about books that appeal to every avid reader in the world; the visualization and imagination.

    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

The script which is based on Steinbeck’s book adopted a

    The book and the movie of ¨The Outsiders¨ are generally the same but differs at some of the parts. As books and movies usually do‚ they both share the same same story line and the general idea. Nonetheless‚ the differences are quite large. Both the book and the movie are very similar‚ or else it wouldn’t be much of a point to make a movie for a book. For instance‚ the both have Johnny killing Bob while they were drowning Ponyboy. Although it‚ like the book‚ doesn’t go into great detail about it

    Many novels are so successful that producers can’t wait to adapt the story into a film. However‚ it is all up to the director who controls how to present it on screen. The movie may be closely similar or far different to the presentation of the book‚ the effectiveness of each may differ. After exploring the novel “Class Action”‚ by Clara Bingham‚ and the screenplay which was inspired by it “North Country”‚ the novel seems to be more effective as it helps the audience understand the storyline. It

    favorite authors so you would think that finding out that one of her books was going to be adapted into a movie would make me excited. 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
