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

Another difference in the movie from the play is the obvious different points of view. The play is told from Estela’s point of view and the movie is shown through Ana’s point of view. The play shows more of Estela’s struggles in the factory, not being able to pay for the machines, paying rent and most being an undocumented worker in the

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

First, the characters, in this story they’re five main characters, one of them being George Hadley, the father, George is striker in the story and consistent with his decision, and Lydia Hadley, the mother was really paranoid but became more laid back towards the end. In the movie though they switched roles. George was not consistent with his decisions and was very easygoing at the start of

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

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

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.

Rachel,esther,Yente and Shifre all characters she meets at the wedding in the book. Rachel dies in the box car, but the other surviving with her at the concentration camps. Rivka was also messed up in the movie! In the book Rivka was met at camp and she was a worker who befriended Hannah. In the movie they said she was her cousin!

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

In Summary, with these three examples it is shown that the play and the movie contrast quite a bit. Most of the story line and the dialogue were very similar to the original story in the movie but some things were changed, possibly to shorten the story to be able to make

The main similarity between the play and the movie is the theme of the role of women in the society especially in marriage. Throughout the different periods of the past generations, pieces of art such as plays and films have
