Differences Between the Movie and Play: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

The plot had some major differences as well as its similarities, for example, when Lydia was frightened by the lions and when Peter and Wendy "killed" their parents. The film did follow the same storyline and had the same plot but also had some slight differences here and there, for example ... In the story, George and Lydia found a wallet and a scarf in the nursery, but they found a purse in the movie. The children didn't land in the "space ship" and they didn't even mention the plastic carnival. There were no whining or jumping on couch's as referenced in the story when the kids heard the news about locking up the nursery, they just got mad and ran towards the nursery. When the Parents were supposedly chased by lions, Lydia wasn't crying, the story made it seem more dramatic than it appeared in the video. As well as Peter called George “George” in the movie instead of Father or Dad, this was not mentioned in the story, but it did show how he didn’t really think of George as his Dad. There were also a little foreshadowing at the end when George told Lydia to RIP “Rest in peace” then shortly after they

The plots are quite similar in both plays, both the film and the play tell a story about a man who meets 3 people, in the

differences exist between the original play and the film. Apart from the specific techniques of lighting and

The similarities between the play and the movie are both show the struggles of being a lower class in an upper-class world (at the time). The movie expresses

There for the characters have changed over the course of the story. Samuel has changed over the time he was looking for his parents in the woods.

The similarities are quite apparent, the movie plot mainly follows the basic plot that the book took, leaving the viewer’s with a sense of accomplishment, as this is sometimes not achieved in the highest degree. Scout still has a brother, Jem. They both still meet Dill and have a few adventures with him throughout the film. Jem and Scout still have a single father, Atticus, having lost their mother many years ago. Calpunia is still their cook. And the whole story still has an

For Rikki-tikki-tavi, the characters are mostly the same throughout the story for both versions. An example would be of course Rikki-tikki, Nag, and Nagaina. Some of the other characters that took an important role in the story that were left the same are the family that took Rikki-tikki in, Darzee, and

In a book to film adaptation, there is often a slight change to different aspects of the story. In the movie version of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, numerous concepts present in the Tennessee Williams book of the same name are omitted. The overall plot remains the same; Big Daddy, a wealthy plantation owner in the 1950s Mississippi Delta, is dying of cancer while his alcoholic son Brick struggles to come to terms with the recent death of his friend Skipper. However, key characteristics are edited and ultimately shift the course of the film. The resulting movie depicts a less controversial story than that told in the book by changing several crucial plot elements in order to appeal to a larger audience.

Comparing a play to its movie adaptation is something that is hard to do since there is no tangible way a person can capture the original then change it to make the movie version of it up to par to the original. From the original play of A Midsummer’s Night Dream that was created by Shakespeare in the movie version of it created by Michael Hoffman, there are many similarities and differences that are in the movie some are very stark while others are very subtle differences.

The plot was also different! In the

There are some differences that especially stand out when comparing the movie to the play. For example, when Abigail is attempting to wake Betty up, many of the girls who had also danced in the woods were in the room as well yet in the book it was only Abigail, Betty and

I think there were some differences in the characters and I could also see why Tessie is singled out as the

The original cast, although very good actors at the time, just were not as dramatic and believable as the cast of the remake. Both films have very different imitations of who they think the roles should be played by and how they should be played. The only character that pretty much stays the same in the way they should be played is the one who plays Carl Denham. In both movies he is very obsessed with making movies and making the movie something the people will wants to see. That is his main goal. Ann and Jack are very different in both movies. In the original film Ann is very sweet, confident woman who had just hit a few numbs in the road. In the remake she is a very strong willed woman with what some would say, an uptight personality. Jack, in the original film, is a "typical man." By this I mean him and others see him as a masculine man who does not open up to others easily. In the remake he is just some guy who is supposed to help out in the movie but ends up having to risk his life for Ann. In both films he falls in love with

Now the characters are the same except the new Charlie Croker is way smarter than the old one. Also the new one did not get out of prison like the old one. Also this is a little off the plot from the first movie the new one is about deception and greed one of the people that were in on the job was a traitor named Steve and tricked them in to helping him steal the gold.

Character development is the most important aspect of both versions. Readers get a sense for the characters and what makes them act the way they do. We begin at the family dining table where the meal cannot be enjoyed as Williams shows us a mother who is over bearing and unreasonable with, “TOM: I haven’t enjoyed one bite of this dinner because of your constant directions on how to eat it. It’s you that make me rush through meals with your hawklike attention to every bite I take”. (6) Later in the movie Amanda is showing those same traits with Laura when she stuffs two powder puffs down the front of Laura’s dress and says [They call them ‘Gay
