Movie Comparison

The movie and short story share many similarities. Some of the similarities include the themes of morality with their legal system precrime, security and access to information, crime and punishment, and fate verse free will. Other similarities in the style of the narrative include the fact that

Some similarities are, one, the characters are the same. Winnie foster,in the movie and the book still kept her same name, her feelings about wanting to leave. In the book on page 13 it says , “Winnie Foster sat on the bristly grass just outside the fence” showing that her name is the same. Another similarity is, Mae Tuck hits the man in the yellow over the head with the rifle. In the movie it shows Mae Tuck hitting the man in the yellow suit

     First off, the biggest difference is the time periods of each movie. The older movie was set in Early Renaissance times. The newer movie is set in the early ninety’s. Another difference is the use of special effects. In the

Finally, the other similarity I discovered was when Johnny killed Bob. In the book, they went to where Dally was and Dally helped them by giving them his gun, jacket and money. Dally also told them where to hide and how to get there. (Hinton 53-56). The movie also portrays this scene very well. Again, this is only one of the many similarities in the book and movie.

The biggest similarity between the movie and the short story was in the introduction. The characters stayed the same in each (although more were added in the movie), with the main characters being Zaroff and Rainsford. The time period also seemed to be alike, in the early

The last similarity I will talk about was the theme that things are not always as good as they may seem at first. In “Flowers for Algernon”, Charlie got an operation to make him smarter. It greatly increased his intelligence for a while, but then Charlie regressed back to his original low intelligence level. In Awakenings, when they use the drug L-Dopa, all the

Both films contained the same plot: rebellious teen moves from a city to a small town and shakes things up. The characters in the movies also stayed the same. There were many more differences between the two, partially because the remake was modernized. In the 1984 film, the clothing and method of displaying music was a major difference. It went from high wasted pants and cassette players to booty shorts and IPods. Also in one of the major scenes, the battle between Ren and Chuck for Ariel’s attention, went from playing chicken with tractors to a school bus drag race. Finally, the soundtrack was a big difference between the two films. In the 1984 version the most popular tunes were played like “Dancing in the Sheets” by Shalamar and “Let’s Hear It For the Boy” by Deniece Williams, while in the 2011 version, there were more country music like “Where the River Goes” by Zac Brown Band and “Fake ID” by Big and Rich. Also in the ending of both films in the prom

One similarity was that Aunt Eva was still Rivka, the best friend to Hannah in the camps, who never forgot Hannah after her sacrifice. Another similarity is that Shmuel died in both due to him and a few other men trying to escape. A third similarity was that the two had the same conflict, surviving the concentration camps, since in both the movie and the book, the main characters had to try to survive the terrible treatment by the Nazis. A fourth similarity was that Hannah took the place of Rivka when she was chosen for the gas chambers. She did that by putting on Rivka’s cap since the officer was a new guard so he wouldn’t know the difference.

The original King Kong (1933) was fairly different from the new 2005 version. In the new version, Kong was much more humanized. For example, in the end when Kong falls off of the building and dies, it is heartbreaking. But in the original, there is a sense of relief when Kong finally dies, after terrorizing New York City and especially Ann. Kong and Ann share a more profound bond in the newer film. That is shown when Kong is finished fighting the three Tyrannosaurus Rex, she willfully goes with him, after he saves her. Also, towards the end you see Kong and Ann having fun playing on the ice back in New York. Ann wasn't afraid of Kong in the remake.

Looking at the surface of the films The Fox and the Hound and Monsters Inc, we probably would not see any similarities whatsoever. This is hardly the case once looking past the animated animals and monsters. The Fox and the Hound, which was released in 1981 by Disney, portrays a fox named Tod and a hound dog named Copper. Even though they grew up together, they are socially supposed to be enemies. They do overcome this stereotype at first as they become best friends and vow to forever. In the end of the film they stay friends, but end up living separate from each other. Each one living in the world that is socially acceptable to each animal. Similarity, Monster Inc., which was released in 2001 by Disney and

The biggest similarity between the book, and the movie is the theme. The theme in both the book, and the

very big similarity. In my opinion, the movie was better because you could actually see whats going on,

I also will state how they potrea the same things and other aspectes of the movie and story that are the

When the Sun was A God and With Fire and Sword are two films directed by Jerzy Hoffman, respectively in 2003 and 1999. The films were based on the historical events, illustrating the common matters of individuals’ desire to overpower others with wealth, power, and control in order to take over the throne and land. Both films took place in different settings – Piast dynasty era and Khmelnytsky Uprising era – but they do share some similarities and differences. The reason for why I chose these two films to compare and contrast was due to the fact that they share certain aspects that set the films alike and apart from one another. The aspects are: greed, friendship, loyalty, women, and love.

Even though the movie kept a few similarities, much of the film was different. An example of this would have to be the relationship between Forrest and Jenny. As seen in the movie, Jenny and Forrest have a close relationship from grade school to high school. Then as the movie progresses you see the transformation of their friendship slowly becomes more at the times Forrest is close to Jenny. But when they are far apart it seems like it is only Forrest who is still caring
