While having the option to read the novel‚ The Cay or watch the movie‚ The Cay I would rather read the book. I believe the book‚ by Theodore Taylor‚ is better because of the fact that there is far more details of the adventure that Phillip and Timothy had in the book than in the movie‚ produced by Walter Seltzer. I also can see in the movie that there is a very low budget for the movie. I also believe that the fact that you can read Philip’s mind it makes that story that much better and shows how

The Great Gatsby movie vs. book In his movie there were many details that remained loyal to the book. There were some others that were changed slightly‚ either for filming reasons or for careless from the director.

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

In movies the monster will not stop at anything he was only out to hurt or destroy others as appose to the book where he tried to make friends and find someone to cherish and love.

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
