The movie caught my attention more than the book did. The movie emphasized more than the book did. I’d like to build on the idea that the movie helped me understand what was going on in the book because I wasn’t really interested in the book so I didn’t really take in all the history that I could in the movie because the movie was more action packed

Most often when a book or a poem gets made into a movie‚ there are many similarities and differences amongst the two. This was no exception for the epic poem Beowulf‚ translated by Seamus Heaney‚ and the 2007 animated motion picture “Beowulf.” It became evident rather early on in the film that the directors had interpreted the poem far differently than what it was made out to be when it was originally written.

Finally‚ the long-awaited movie adaptation of the Giver is here. However‚ no movie adaptation stays completely true to its source material‚ and the Giver is no different.
