Differences Between The Wizard Of Oz Book And Book

The novel of The Glass Castle was superior versus the film production or was it vice versa? The Glass Castle was released on August 9, 2017, an American biographical drama film directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and written by Cretton, Andrew Lanham, and Marti Noxon, based on Jeannette Walls's memoir The Glass Castle. The film stars Brie Larson as Jeannette Walls with Naomi Watts (Rosemary Walls), Woody Harrelson (Rex Walls), Max Greenfield (David) , and Sarah Snook (Lori Walls). The Novel itself was published in 2005 and was listed as the New York best seller for 261 weeks. Readers absolutely loved the book as for myself I’ve became a fan as well. The story of Walls was one wild, adventurous and intense one. The film had a tremendous challenge

In 1939 one of the most memorable film was released, The Wizard of Oz. In 1978 The Wiz, an urban reimaging of the exemplary novel, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz put an African American vibe to a film. The novel turned into films follows the adventures of Dorothy, a girl who embark on an adventure in strange and fantastical land just wanting to go back home. In this essay I’m going to plot each film and compare the main character of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, Tin Man, Cowardly Lion and the Wiz and discuss how the design and music differ from each film.

The Wizard of Oz has been a popular and symbolic film throughout our previous history. Both the book and movie have been recognised as classic literature for children and adults alike. Although they share the same concept, there are a few important differences between the novel and the film.

“I think he’s way past copper now. I think he needs a silver.” Stated a robber that was planning to steal Davie Balfour’s money. Davie is the protagonist of the story. The purpose of this essay is to convince you that the movie is better than the book. The movie added in parts that were more interesting than in the book. I feel like it also explained the book more. I feel like what the movie added was more interesting than in the movie.

“There is no place like home,” Which could not be more true for the most of us, is a famous quote from The Wizard Of OZ, a movie about a girl who finds herself in a world different from hers, wishing to return to her farm in Kansas. Along the way, she discovers many things about herself that she never thought she was capable of. Although her time in the Land of OZ was just a dream, it sends powerful messages. Not only that there is no place like home, but that in our dreams we realize who we are. The outside world never sees who we truly are or what makes us happy. We feel a need to conform to society and act how other people act, so that we don’t stand out. Why wouldn’t people express themselves for who they truly are? Bird Clarkson, a man on a mission, seems to ask a similar question. Clarkson, a faculty member in the Communication and ARTS Department at Central Michigan University, entered a piece in the ArtPrize 2016 competition in Grand Rapids (MI) named The Wizard of Ozomoness. It is an interpretive dance play of sorts that is meant to get kids or people alike to express themselves and let them know that their dreams can come true. The piece we chose was the backdrop of the Emerald City that is meant for this play and we evaluated how its appearance and representation of a dream world further emphasized the meaning of the piece. We proved this by interpreting its physical attributes, with interviews with people observing the piece and with a

The violence contributes to the story being interpreted in a different way because if someone were to watch the movie they would think it is a light hearted story meant for fun. However, I think it is apparent that the book was darker and included more intense topics, including topics of love and being cut up which is why the characters need to see OZ. Also, reading the

The book, written by L. Frank Baum in 1900, was the inspiration behind the movie the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The problem, though, is that the movie does not follow the book at all. Most of the movie plays off the ideas and characters in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, while following a general plot of Dorothy’s quest to the Emerald City. The biggest, and most important difference between the book The Wizard of OZ and the movie edition is that in the movie, Dorothy is simply dreaming, and in the other, she was carried to the land of OZ because of the tornado that swept through Kansas. The Wizard of Oz the movie portrays the story as a dream that Dorothy is having, with people in her life showing up as characters in the dream. This is a clever twist on the story plot, and it provides a little more entertainment, for the viewer, than the first chapter of the book, which gives a dull description of the Kansas prairie.

There always seems to be some discrepancy when a film is adapted into a movie. Often times, crucial scenes, or even characters, can be left out in order to satisfy the directors’ and screen writers’ visions. Unfortunately, such changes can clearly be seen in the film adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum. The movie leaves out characters such as the Witch of the North and the queen of the field mice, but adds characters such as Professor Marvel and Miss Gulch. However, while many changes were made, there are still a few instances where this “fairy tale” novel almost directly translates into the film. One scene in particular that is closely mirrored to the novel is when Dorothy first meets the scarecrow. This scene is nearly an exact word for word adaptation including dialogue, vivid visual images for the viewer, and how point of view directs the attention of the audience.

In the movie, The Wizard of Oz, when Glinda said “She had to learn it for herself,” the it was that there is no place like home, she loves her family and they love her back, and she is satisfied on the farm. First of all, part of the “it” Glinda was talking about is that there is no place like home. The movie script states, “And I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all! And- Oh, Auntie Em- there's no place like home!” This is one part of “it”. Dorothy has learned that Kansas is her home and that she loves her family. Dorothy says “there’s no place like home,” and that was part of the “it” that she had to learn in order to go home. She needed to know there was no place like home before she could really go home.

In terms of plot, the movie adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline is extremely true to the source material. It still tells the story of a young girl who grows unappreciative of her real family and finds a magical door in her new home that leads to a better, fantastical version of the family she has now. The creepiness and scary moments are also true to form, with this world being only a copy of the real world, created by the Other Mother in an attempt to trap Coraline forever. The quest to rescue the three ghost children is almost exactly the same, with two of their souls being found in Miss Spink and Forcible’s theater and Mr. B’s circus. But since the movie added a scene in which an enticing garden is used as an item to gain Coraline’s trust in the Other Mother’s fake world, one of the ghost souls was placed in this location instead. Another major difference between the book and the movie is the addition of the character Wybie. He acts as a source of inside knowledge about The Pink Palace and helps kill the Other Mother’s hand at the climax of the movie, while in the book Coraline gathered her information about her home from her parents as well as Miss Spink and Forcible, and killed the Other Mother’s hand by tricking it rather than crushing it. The use of stop motion animation was also a benefactor in bringing this terrifying story to a visual format, as stop motion tends to look uncanny and unsettling at times. Both works are masterpieces of writing and storytelling, and

I compared and contrasted the book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to the movie, The Wizard of Oz. The Wizard of Oz movie was released in 1939 and has captured viewers for years. The book, by L. Frank Baum was written in 1900 and was the inspiration behind the timeless classic of the movie. However, the movie does not follow the book at all. As a matter of fact, the names and overall idea is the only similarities to the book. The main difference between the book and movie is that in the movie Dorothy is simply dreaming and in the book Dorothy actually travels to the Land of Oz. The movie portrays the story as a dream that Dorothy has with people in

Harry Potter has lots of differences between the movies and books. Even if they may appear similar on the surface, they are very dissimilar once you look beyond the outer similarities. The best movie/book to contrast is the first movie of the deathly hallows and the book, mainly because it has the greatest similarities between the book and the movies. The possible reason why the movie has the least amount of major differences is because, It was split into two parts which allowed it to remain more loyal to the original text. There are ten differences between them but there are some noticeable differences which do not contract very much from the overall quality of the movie.

The film The Wizard of Oz, as directed by Victor Fleming, involves a girl named Dorothy and her pet dog Toto. At first, she runs with Toto and reaches a point along the way where a pony Marvel appears and convinces her to return home (Fleming). After that, the audience sees how the house sinks into another world: the Land of Oz (Ibid.). Here, Dorothy becomes a real victor after she accidentally kills the Wicked Witch of the East by landing with her house onto the latter (Ibid.). The current paper is an endeavor to analyze the film setting to get a better understanding of the characters.

For example, the reader is introduced to Helen as a baby. Meanwhile, in the motion picture the watcher is introduce to Helen when she’s six years old. This a major difference because the reader views how Helen started unlike the watcher of the movie. Another example, in the story Helen is pictured as a filthy mess, but in the film she is always in a nice set of clothes. This is a very important change because it shows how a person depicts Helen. Lastly, Annie is haunted by nightmares of her brother at the State Court house. In the book their is great deal of flashbacks in the story, but in the movie their is only one. This shows how Annie had to fight the voices in her head and the guilt of her “ killing” her brother. Even with these differences, it still tells the amazing story of Helen

Goldfinger, the third sequel of the ever-popular James Bond series, depicts Secret Agent 007 in more thrilling conflicts and dogfights guaranteeing to glue your eyes down to your screen. The story centers on the investigation of gold smuggling activites of Auric Goldfinger by James Bond. Ian Fleming wrote and published ‘James Bond: Goldfinger’ in 1959, and it has been adapted into a movie starring Sean Connery as James Bond in 1964. The Goldfinger novel was well received by critics and made to the top best-seller lists, while the movie became the first Bond blockbuster movie. Even though the movie is based on Ian Fleming’s Goldfinger novel, a great deal of conspicuous changes was made in accustoming the novel plot into the movie.
