My thoughts on the movie are that it could have added more parts and details in parts such as when Scout is in school and then leads to the fight. A few other things that were left out are: Aunt Alexandria, Uncle Jack and Miss Stephanie additionally in the book Scout hears people calling Atticus a “nigger lover” but in the movie when he was called it she didn’t hear it. An example where detail was added was the part where Atticus throws the glass cup towards Tom to prove his point. I did not picture the setting the same from the book to the movie I kind of flipped it and also thought it would be more of straight roads than curvey.
There were a few characters that I felt were different in the movie than in the book because of the way they were described. I have thought that the Cunninghams were black because they were described as poor farmers and they were compared to the Robinsons. The movie had added a part where Bob Ewell kind of taunts Jem and Scout even before the trial. Atticus is more stern in the movie than in the book it is like he is more in control over Scout and Jem. Another character that seemed different to me is Calpurnia she seemed as

I think that it was an important part, because throughout that whole part Scout, Jem and Dill had left and was talking about the reality of Maycomb with a man.
The reason they may have left all these details and characters out may have been to shorten the movie, reduce characters and make the personalities come into one, or to just switch the movie up a little. My thoughts on the book and movie overall is they both were great as far as for details, descriptions, and just a good novel. I would recommend To Kill A MockingBird movie and book in the future. My rate on To Kill a MockingBird on a book scale is a 5
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.
To begin with, there are many similarities between the book and movie To Kill A Mockingbird. For example, Tom Robinson died in an attempt to escape from prison in both the book and the movie. In my opinion Tom's death was crucial to the original story, and I believe the movie would have been seen as over-sentimental if the scriptwriters had let him live. Another important similarity between the book and movie, is the mutual fascination
So the three of the many major changes in this story that were important is the phelps family never introduced, Jim is introduced to the Wilkes family, and Huck is overly sensitive about finding the family. The book was much better than the movie. There was so much more detail in the book. The Disney movie also just made the book too overly sensitive in many scenes. Like when Huck was explaining French to Jim. There was way to much of a weird connection in that moment. It seemed like Jim was going to kiss Huck. I Hope the rest of the kids like the book better too.
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.
“To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee, is an inspiring and amazing book. When you are reading the book, it is very easy to imagine what is happening. But, when you watch the movie, it is a little bit sad. It is emotionally sad, making you upset, not because of what is happening, but because it is so different. The book “To Kill a Mockingbird” is better than the movie, because the order is different, and the book included more characters and details.
Finally there are lots of differences between the book and the movie. They also show that the movie was a lot weaker then then the book. I can see the movies aren't always better than the books. The books go more into detail than the movie. I enjoined the movie because it is more visual. The book was a little
There are many differences between the book; To Kill a Mockingbird and the movie. Some differences are easy to spot and some aren’t. Many things that are in the book aren’t in the movie. Many of these things you don’t need, but are crucial to the plot of the book. Movies and books have differences and similarities, but many things in books MUST be included in the movie.
One character that was missing from the movie that played an important role was Aunt Alexandra. First of all by having Aunt Alexandra in the film the reader doesn't see the feminine side to Scout instead only Scout's tomboy side is portrayed. Also, not having Aunt Alexandra around means there is no one to challenge Atticus's authority. Without Aunt Alexandra, Miss Stephanie is also left out. Seeing how Jem and Scout act around another family member is impossible when the directors' cut Aunt Alexandra out of the movie. Showing how the children act around another family member could show different sides of their personalities. A good explanation for leaving Aunt Alexandra out could be that the movie would have just been too long with too many extra parts that may have not been necessary. Rachael Haverford, the Finches' next door neighbor, was another character deleted from the book, Dill was not living with .The movie and the book have differences in the overall way the characters appear. For instance, Jem isn't nearly as physically fit in the movie as he is described in the book. Also in the book Scout is the main character and in the movie Scout doesn't really know what's going on. All of the scenes in the movie that present Scout as anything more than the narrator were cut out. In the book, Scout is more of a girl caught in the middle of Atticus and Alexandria. She acts a lot like Alexandria although she doesn't know it.
With many scenes taken away because some characters are never mentioned took away a lot of the overall meaning of the story. I didn’t feel to relate to the movie as much as I did with the novel. Leaving an apt amount of scenes out, took away some of the anticipation I was building up to. Which made me a bit disappointed.
There was to much time spent in the beginning of the book with Jem, Scout, and there new friend Dill. If the point was about how friendship is spent in the summer then it would have been an okay book but Dill left until the next summer so that was not the point. The point should have been more about how blacks are guilty in the courthouse. They should have not killed Tom Robinson instead they should have told the story of how his life was after his release or second trial in the court.
Neither the novel nor film version of To Kill A Mockingbird is superior to the other, just different. In the book you delve more into the separate characters while in the film you see the relationships in action. The book gives you a broader view of everything, but at the same time the movie points out everything that seems important. Lastly, the novel shows Scout as a girl caught in the middle, when the movie seems to paint Scout as a girl without a inkling of what is going on.
This novel was also turned into a movie in 1962. The movie and the book had both similarities and differences. For instance, the relationship between Atticus and the African Americans was a similarity between the book and the movie. On the other hand the absence of Aunt Alexandra in the movie was a prominent difference between the book and the movie. The book and the movie were both good ,but there were similarities and differences in each .
A part that took part in the novel was when Scout had beat up her cousin Francis for making fun of Atticus at the Christmas party. That scene was never played in the movie, nor did their Uncle Jack come to see them. The movie had
There were several similarities between the book and the movie. One way they were alike was that Byron got his lips stuck on the brown bomber. Another similarity between the two was Kenny went into the lake and he thought that he saw the wool pooh. Kenny also thought that he saw the wool pooh in the church. After Kenny saw the wool pooh and went to his house in Michigan he sat behind the couch disappointed because he thought he was able to help kids in the church
I want to start off by saying that the language of the book is quite elegant, but it is very different from that of its stablemate, To Kill A Mockingbird. To Kill A Mockingbird is made coherent by the spellbinding story of Tom Robinson’s trial, but here the journey of Scout is the central thread. This has made some readers, partially including myself, to feel this book is not as good as its companion novel. But I also believe that they wouldn’t take that line if it weren’t for the linear clarity of Mockingbird’s fable-like style. There is no literary discredit in it’s release; it’s just aiming at a completely different target.
