    There was more detail in the film than the book. Most books have a lot of detail. Especially conversations and emotions. They explain how the character feels and explain what the setting is like. In the film, it also had much detail. It shows most of how the character(s) gets place to place. When reading a book, you use your imagination and in a film you can watch in. For instince, in the book, it didn't explain how Rainsford escaped from place to place. In a new chapter, he would be in a different area and it didn't describe what he did to get there. In the film, Rainsford tricked General Zaroff and got back to safety. It…

    Another difference between the book and the novel is Gene’s confrontation with Leper, in the novel Leper goes home after he is discharged from the army and confronts Gene there. In the movie version however, Leper flees to the woods outside Devon after he is discharged but is eventually spotted by Gene who follows him into the woods where the confrontation occurs. His fragile state after his experience in the army, was a huge point of interest for me in the book. The movie, I feel, was unable to capture his essence.…

    The first difference between the movie and novel is directly at the beginning. While the novel tells us that there is a guest house where a few couples are staying, the movie shows a difference scene. In the movie, there are people sitting on the beach drinking. While drinking, the man notices a woman, named Chrissie, who he approaches. She then takes off running down the beach. The man follows after her, both yelling at each other and undressing as they run, and they arrive at the shore. The girl dives in and yells for the man to join her while she continues swimming. While he is still undressing, he passes out on the shore. This results in him being safe from what is about to occur. Still waiting on the man, Chrissie is attacked and killed by the shark. Now, in the novel, this scene appears to be much different. The man and Chrissie both walk out of a guest house and lay on the beach. Chrissie decides she wants to go for a swim, trying to tempt the man into going with her, but he refuses and falls asleep. She slowly wades out, calling one last time for the man to join her, who ignores due to the fact that he is asleep. While Chrissie is in the water, the shark attacks her and she is killed. This is where the next difference comes in.…

    The flow and style of the plot line is almost identical, with a few scenes shortened to adhere to an acceptable two hours and many of the characters in the movie are a mirror reflection of their respective descriptions in the novel.

    Can you imagine being the only survivor on a shipwreck? Most of us say, “Hey that will never happen”. But we can never be certain that things like that won’t happen. The Most Dangerous Game is a short story by Richard Connell, published in 1924. Many adaptations have been created of this story, but sadly, none have been as good as the original. Sometimes, adaptations of stories only become worse. To make a great adaptation, good actors are required. It is also important not to go overboard with changing things from the original. Finally, over exaggerating the events in a story when making an adaptation can also make things go wrong.…

The chase was taken place inside of a building in the movie and in the book it took place outside on the street and the follower of Sir Henry just took off in a cab.…
