Decisions We see in the movie that the directors had to make many changes. The changes usually included cutting non important scenes, for the book was to long to keep everything in. I feel that they picked correctly with most of the scenes, but I do think that some scenes were important enough to get in. While dropping some scenes they also dropped some important characters and themes, some I believe were essential in the book. One of the big characters the movie left out was Uncle Jack. He was a relatively large player and played the role of a usual man from the south back then. I believe the reason Uncle Jack was left out is because if you bring in Uncle Jack, the rest of the family has to be incorporated and that is a lot more characters. …show more content…
In the book this scene was the first real time Scout comes in contact with Boo. In this scene in the book Boo comes and puts a blanket on Scout to keep her warm. Even though Scout gets scared the readers still see this as a warm and gentle sign of giving by Boo. However this scene is cut, forcing the first time we see Boo to be after he saves Jem. Even though these two important parts of the book were left out I think the movie was good and it definitely gave me the deep feeling and connection to the characters that the book gave me. I think the whole movie staff made all the right
Finally, between the book and the movie I really liked the book better even tho I don't like to read i thought it was better.Because the book had more detail than the movie did in my opinion. The movie was more sad because you actually saw them and what they were doing. In the book you would have to imagine it and it wouldn't be as sad. Overall the movie and book were good but very
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
I much preferred the movie version to the novel. For me, author William Kennedy’s style of writing is needlessly vague and difficult to follow, yet he did a wonderful job adapting
Lastly, I felt that the style and order of the stories in the book differed from movie. This is probably so because in the book, it was easier to jump around from story to story, from story to reality, due to William’s narration to give it explanation. In the film, it would have been much more difficult to make all the stories come together like it did in the book, so I can understand why it was different in the film. For example, in the book, the story where Edward meets the lady with the
The book is able to have a very profound way of keeping the reader entertained by having many exciting chapters like when Harry Potter battled Professor Quirrell, and the movie tries to keep the story exciting by deleting some chapters that the producer considered “not so important” to the storyline. On the other hand, the movie is shortened in a way of learning all the basics of the story and in an exciting visual way. The fact is that all of the chapters and all of the parts of the chapters were important to the storyline because without that extra information the reader is left without a feeling of complete knowledge of the plot. An example of a chapter being completely left out is the chapter called “The Midnight Duel” which has
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.
Despite having many differences the film remains faithful in capturing the novel and putting on film. While one may not get everything from the movie as from the book, the majority of it is there. So for die hard fans of the book there is no need for disappointment. All the main parts of the book are there, the characters, the plot, the setting
From what I can tell Oliver Stone did an incredible job making this movie. There were a few discrepancies between the book and the film, but on the whole I believe
The book and the film were both simular, and yet different in many ways. An example would be, in the film, Ponyboy was walking to the drive-in and meeting Cherri and Marcia. Although in the book, Ponyboy began his journey by telling the readers about his experience about being jumped by the Socs and being threatened. The director probably had some options to pick from to leave out from the movie, and the director chosed this to leave out. Leaving out the part where Ponyboy was jumped was an effective move because without the experience Ponyboy was lost and helpless because he did not know what to do when he and Johnny got cornered in the park by Bob and other Socs.
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.
At the beginning of the novel, Boo Radley, Scout’s neighbor that never came out of his house, was a terror to Scout. She couldn't understand why he never came out because she hadn't learned how to see things from other’s points of view. “Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough” (Lee 374). At the end of this novel, Scout understands how Boo saw the world and why he didn't come out until he needed to save Jem and Scout. Just standing on the Radley porch made her realize this but without learning the lesson beforehand, she would have never thought to even look at the world form Boos point of
Unlike the book, the movie is very visual with lots of sounds and exciting twists. Since I have read the novella I didn’t really care that much for the movie because I knew what was going to happen at the end. The one thing I was hoping for was that there was a new scene or new storyline. There wasn’t really a new
She described to the readers that “…our neighbor’s image blurred with my sudden tears. ‘Hey Boo’, I said” (270). This is the first and definite indication that Boo is a good man. Even though Scout had never seen him before, she realizes who he is. Scout is brought to tears because this is the first time that she realizes that the man that she used to fear the most had cared about her and saved her life. The fact that she notices this shows her mental growth undoubtedly. After Boo had saved the children, Mr. Tate explained to Atticus that they should cover up for Boo, the man who had just stabbed Bob Ewell, and Atticus finally agreed. He wasn’t sure if Scout had understood all that was said and done until Scout describes,
In addition to his curiosity of the children, Boo also demonstrates acts of kindness and concern towards Jem and Scout. This is evident through two scenarios that occur; one involving Jem and the other involving Scout. When Jem leaves the Radley property after retrieving his pants that were stuck the fence, he realizes that the pants were mended and folded, as if someone was waiting upon his arrival. “When I went back, they were folded across the fence… like they were expecting me [...] like somebody could tell what I was gonna do. Can’t anybody tell what I’m gonna do lest they know me, can they, Scout?” (78). Jem’s realization of the situation signifies that Boo Radley does in fact pay attention to the children and wanted to do something nice for them. By mending Jem’s pants and folding them neatly for him, Boo had shown a kindness that they had not seen before. Boo had also shown his concern for the children on the night of the fire, when Miss Maudie's house was erupt in flames. The children were waiting outside for their father, and Boo realized that they must have been cold, so he went and put a blanket around Scout. Scout had not noticed this until she was back at home, when Jem suggested that Boo had put the blanket around her. “‘Someday, maybe, Scout can thank him for covering her up.’ ‘Thank who?’ I asked. ‘Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn’t know it when he put the blanket around you’” (96).
The book tells the same story as the movie but in a different way it cuts out thing the movies has or the movies adds thing that's not in the book. The book has some not many similar but . I feel the director was unfaithful to the book.The book and movie version of Our America had many differences.
