Comparison Of The Movie And The Book

Decent Essays

Watching the movie is so much more interesting, and it grabs your

imagination by the hand. There are not that many things that are different in the

movie. In fact the movie describes what?s going on a little better than the book.

Basically the book seems like an out line of the whole story and the book gets

into details a little more.

In the beginning of the book it talks about Tad going to bed and how

he?s a little nervous because he thinks there is a monster under his bed. His

father tucks him into bed and says good night. About 10 minutes later Tad

wakes up screaming his head off saying he sees a monster in his closet. The

author doesn?t even describe what …show more content…

Tad plays with Cujo for the first time. I

mean there are only small little things that are different in the book and movie.

Like when Tad wakes up the next morning there are couches and books in front

of his closet door (in the movie). Another comparison would be when Vic?s

wife cheats on him with Steve Kemp. Book talks about Steven a little, doesn?t?

really get into detail. It doesn?t talk about what he looks like or what attracts

her to him. The only really big change that is really noticeable would be when

Cujo attacks Vic?s wife and his son Tad, while they are still stuck in the car.

The book talks about how Cujo does run into the car and how he transfers

rabies into the mother but what it doesn?t talk about is how violent Cujo is. He

was going nuts trying to get into the car. He would run so hard into the car it

would knock him out, he?d get right back up again and run straight for the car.

Being a mother and watching our child die is hard enough but knowing that

your going to die of rabies is even harder. After she barely cracks the car door

open, Cujo frantically jumps in the car on top of her biting and tearing up her

leg. The only thing she could do is bang Cujo over the head with her thermos.

That?s the biggest difference between the book and movie.

Reading books isn?t the greatest thing in the world for me, but when
