Have you ever noticed how different it is to read a book then to see the movie, or the other way around? Well in The Book Thief, Drama/War, 2013, Brian Percival, the differences between the film and the novel are small, but in a setting like this where comparing and contrasting the two on a certain theme/idea, those small differences start to grow to be bigger than life. So I believe that in the film, the viewer can more clearly see the theme -”No matter how much evil there is, the good in a single person can change the mindset of many”- compared to the novel. In the film and novel, the viewers/readers see Hans being the nice, kind, and caring person that he is. But the difference between the film and the novel is that in the film the viewer can really see the emotions being displayed. You can see his expressions, tone of voice, …show more content…
It’s the same as texting, saying “I love you” over a text is one thing, but saying it in person is on a whole other level. As for how this applies for the book, even with the details that you get while reading, you still don’t get the full effect that the author may want you to feel when reading that part of the book. Especially when it comes to understanding how Hans should make you feel, for example, when Hans “witnessed four men throw several bricks into a clothing store... Inside, a small man was stuttering about, crushing the broken glass beneath his feet as he cleaned up. A star the color of mustard was smeared to the door. In sloppy lettering, the words JEWISH FILTH were spilling over at their edges. Hans moved closer and stuck his head inside. ‘Do you need some help?’”(181). When reading this during the process of reading the book, you may look at it as just another event where Hans helped. But in the movie you really see his reaction to the men breaking the glass, and showing his sincerity when he says he’ll paint the
The last thing is the tone of his voice an example is his voice drops a view octaves because he is getting nervous and trying to think of something to say. It is better in the movie because you can hear how he actually feels and in the book you are. Just listening to another person talk. Another way to say it is maybe it should be said in a man's voice to make it more

“The power of words, written or spoken, have life. They can change the world.” (search quotes). The power of words should not be underestimated. Liesel proves this to be true in the novel and the film The Book Thief. She uses words to develop relationships with her foster father, Hans Hubermann; Max Vandenburg, the illicit Jew in her basement; and her neighbours. In the novel The Book Thief by Markus Zusak there is much more relationship development compared to the film The Book Thief directed by Brian Percival. This consequently causes the theme of the power of words to be less prominent in the film.
After reading The Giver I had high expectations for the movie to be just like the book. I was hoping that the ending would be better explained. . Don't get me wrong, Lois Lowry did an amazing job, I just feel that the ending happened too quickly and it was not detailed enough. Concerned with the ending of her book I thought that watching Phillip Noyce movie The Giver would clearly thing up. I was obviously wrong, it was too serious, I mean for the most parts it was OK, but the book was a little more chill. Another thing that bothered me was the chief elder, she only appeared in the book like twice, but in the movie she was like in every other scene. Really it was like they were trying to put her everywhere and make her like one of the main
There are many publishers in the world who decide to take their work and turn it into films. Although many viewers may think the film should be exactly like the book, they are not. In both novel and book there are going to be slight differences. The moral of both novel and book is the same; however, their narrators are different. The character may act a certain way as one are reading, then act another way as one watch the film.
imagination by the hand. There are not that many things that are different in the
Wes Andersons’ ‘Grand Budapest’ and Mark Zusak’s ‘The Book Thief’ both have unique narration styles which are similar in some aspects but then are different in others, this meaning that both comparisons and contrasts can be drawn from the two different forms of text. The Book Thief has a very unique narration style which is told in first person by ‘Death’, death basically guides us through the novels using different sections such as parts, characters, brief descriptors and sub – headings. Death’s narration style is unique for the fact that he wants to be treated like a human and towards the end he shows emotion. By the author using Death he is able to offer a unique perspective and relation on all the death and dying which was occurring during

Did you know that most people can only see black and white in The Giver? The Giver, by Lois Lowry, is about a seemingly perfect community that has lots of weird, strict rules to keep the peace. Everything is the same, so no one gets jealous. Jonas is a member of the community along with his two friends, Fiona and Asher. But when Jonas is chosen to be the new receiver instead of receiving a normal assignment like his friends, everything changes.
The difference between the developing way of books and movies is magnificently huge because the way of emotion transmitting is different; the movie is based on vision, while the book is based on words.

She is then taken to her new foster parents, Rosa and Hans Hubermann. Upon her arrival, she meets Rudy Steiner who will be her best friend until the end; his end at least.
Due to the text’s complexityz and the author’s peculiar writing style, it took me quite a while to get into the story, thus reducing my reading speed considerably. But, once I was one third into the book, I started to really enjoy it and, as the narrative became more and more complex, I became aware of how much the book and the movie differ.
In this movie, they take out many parts from the book. This does not necessarily change a lot of the initial concepts but it has an effect. When something is taken out, like a suicide attempt, it takes the intensity out of the movie that was received from the book. Though the movie teaches the lesson that the book does, it does not have the strength it did as in the book. That connect people get from reading

When there were bomb raids approaching the town, the people gathered in a small basement and Liesel began to read to everyone there. It is amazing how her words would calm everyone present and made them forget that they could possibly die at any given moment. When everything in her life is at a downfall, reading and writing takes Liesel out of this cruel world. That is the main reason why she is attracted to words and books. Words kept her alive in a dull world but also literally kept her living. She was reading in that basement when the bombs hit her street so it saved her. She also developed relationships with people with words and storytelling. In a time like this, a normal conversation will not help. But in order to distract one from reality the best way to do that is to share stories. Max Vandenburg is not in great condition when he arrives, but creates a special bond with Liesel through words. The two have frequent nightmares about their past and losing the ones that they care about the most. Though all this has happened, they both enjoy to story tell and that’s how their bond grows. "Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived, Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out, like the rain (85)". Liesel’s words effected her situation and the perspective of it so much. As words bought friendship to Liesel, it also bought
