What You See Is Not What You Read Life is full of lessons‚ the movie version of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is not! Harper Lee entwines these life lessons throughout her novel; however‚ the movie version fails to incorporate these lessons into its plot. Thus‚ the movie version must be deemed incomplete‚ as it is most certain that there are many important lessons that Jem and Scout learn throughout the novel. A few key characters who taught these lessons to the children and who

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

To what extent is Petruchio’s “taming” of Kate comic? It could be seen that it is a valid interpretation that Petruchio’s methods of "taming" Kate are comic. Petruchio’s methods of "taming" Kate may have been appropriate comedy material for the 16th Century audience‚ but most modern audiences find Petruchio’s "taming" methods to be neither amusing nor acceptable. A contemporary audience would have found Kate being "tamed" humerous. However‚ Kate adapts and gains power in society where she is oppressed

The play “A Midsummer Night ’s Dream”‚ by William Shakespeare and the film version directed by Michael Hoffman relate to the same plot‚ but were created over four centuries apart.

Essay for The Great Gatsby The plot and the setting of book and movie are very similar. There was a lot of thins borrowed from the book‚ but there was a lot changed as well. The movie followed the plot of book very closely and portrayed the setting of the book very well. A lot of the dialogue was borrowed and spoken directly as it was in the book. The movie did an excellent job portraying the 1920’s and the parties that happened at Gatsby’s house. “There was music from my neighbor’s house

but in the process‚ it is descriptive yet gets to the point faster than in my writing. I wrote Act 3 Scene 1 lengthier and a tad more on the violent side. I did this so my audience could get a feel from everyone’s perspective of the fight. Unlike play wrights‚ poems are supposed to tell the story in an appeasing nature‚ but they are not necessarily supposed to be in full detail and descriptions about what is happening during each event. This is most of my reasoning for writing this scene differently

Translating a book into a movie can be a very elusive task for many reasons. This is due to the fact that a book has many key points in it and compressing them all into a certain time frame can be very arduous. Mark Forster’s adaptation of Khaled Hosseini’s novel the Kite Runner is a rather weak portrayal of what the author had originally wrote because of its bad casting choices‚ very significant and harmful cuts to the novel and scenes added throughout the film. Although the director’s intention
