Movie Compare And Contrast

Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom. This not only caused a lot of drama but more depth to the plot. Also, Crow didn’t go to jail but they did talk about most of the consequences of her going to jail. This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go.

One significant difference is when Leonard Mead picks up a dandelion in the film compared to a dead leaf in the book. This is an important difference because the dandelion represents hope and a future, where the dead leaf is quite the opposite and tells us that civilization is dead and their is no chance of bringing it back. This is one key difference and these actions decide how it ends. Another difference is whether Leonard has communication with other humans or not. In the story Leonard has not had any contact in 10 years, but in the book he has a friend he can visit and talk to. In the story they were setting it up for their to be no hope for a future. But in the film his friend will “spread the seed” and bring humanity back to being

The story by Joyce Carol Oates “Where Are You Going, Where Have You been?” published in 1969 and the film “smooth talk” 1985, explores the life of a beautiful fifteen-year-old girl Connie. Like normal teenagers, she’s at the age where they begin to explore their sexual desires and disrespect her parents. Her father is unconcerned and her mother is critical, Connie prefers to spend her time with her friends than her family. On one summer day, Connie chooses to skip a family barbecue and stay behind while her family goes out. A stranger later reaches to her at home and persuades her to go for a ride. Later Connie realizes the stranger is trying to rape her and probably kill her. She becomes scared and when she arrives home, she tries to mend her relationship with her mother and family (HANLON). The purpose of this paper is to critique the movie smooth talk by comparing and contrasting it to the short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates.

For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.

To begin with the first difference between the movie and the novel is poor character development, and how the character are shown differently in both the novel and the movie. When Gene goes to Leper’s home town, he finds him shell shocked. When Gene gets the telegram letter and goes to

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.

The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and

Another difference between the novel and the movie is how the rice run is played out. Because the character Jed is missing in the movie, it is Sal with whom Richard gets to go to the

Differences (stick with at least four)- Ponyboy has a good relationship with sodapop and gets along better with darry but still has a very good relationship with his brother. In the beginning of the book, Pony gets jumped by some Socs, but he doesn’t get cut with a knife. In the movie, they cut him. In the movie when ponyboy is talking to cherry he says how the sun on the south side and she says”good how bout the north.” In the book it's written west and east. Also in the movie johnny never got his first beating from the soc in the book he does. In the book it gave more detail and information in the movie it starts like in mid way of the book.

Mason is frequently required to make adult decisions throughout this book and it changes the relationship that him and his brother have. Tex by S.E. Hinton is about a 15 year old boy named tex, who loves his horse Negrito. Tex lives with his 17 year old brother Mason and their pop, who hasn’t been home in five months. Wherever Tex goes there is trouble and he is usually with his best friend Johnny Collins when it happens. These decisions fall in Mason's hands because their pop isn’t home to do it for him without their pop Mason is pretty much Tex’s father and has been his whole life pretty much. Masons and Tex’s relationship changes alot throughout the book.

I think that the movie was a pretty accurate presentation of the book but there were some differences between them so I would like to see an updated version of the movie and maybe the book also. There were some things that happened in the book that didn't happen in the movie, like in the book Jem was forced to read to Mrs. Dubose everyday, and in the movie he wasn't. In the book Jem waited until the next day to retreive his pants. Calpurnia tells Atticus about his children's presence at the courthouse. Tom is killed by prison guards while he was trying to escape.

Have you ever wanted to prove someone wrong? Have you ever put your mind to something so much that you will stop at nothing to reach your goal? Then there is one heck of a good book and movie for you to watch/read. The book that had later gotten adapted to become a movie is about how a young boy named Sam Gribley goes to leave his family of sailors to live off the land on his grandfather's farm. Usually when novels become movies somethings that happened in the novel might not happen in the film. That is why I am going to write about the disparity of the motion picture and novel.

The play and film have certain aspects in common, for example they follow the same plot and they contain the same script. But there are of course some adjustments from the play to the movie. A funny fact is that the actors were the same in the movie as in the original production of the play. The big difference between the movie and the play is that the movie has taken more liberties concerning the stage directions and the setting of each scene of the play. When Adam and Jenny are on the park bench for example.

The first and most noticeable difference between the movie and book is how the story is told. At the nursing home Paul has a friend, Elaine. In the movie he tells her what happened because it upset him. While in the book he writes the story and lets her read it. The book often comes back to the elderly Paul and sees how he’s doing, in the movie we only see him in the beginning and the end.

There are many differences between Pride and Prejudice and Spirited Away. However, despite that both are made for two types of age groups and each have a different plot, there are also many things that these two movies have in common. They are love stories, but not necessarily romantic. In this essay I will compare and contrast two films by pointing towards their different settings and lifestyles, explaining the similarities I found while watching them, and
