Introduction

A novel named "Lilies of the Field" was written by an American author William Edmund Barrett, in the year of 1962. With the assistance of the idea from Barrett 's novel Ralph Nelson made a tremendous movie in 1963.

Discussion

A small but excellent novel "Lilies of the Field" made into an excellent and educational movie, the main subject of the novel and movie is bless the children and creatures even Charles, it is a fact that in the twentieth-century there are no significant literature work but the Americans in their strength and power, idiosyncratic individual interaction and independent characters. With the assistance of William E. Barrett 's novel Ralph Nelsons turn it into simple but fascinating story movie.

In some parts movie is sparer that novel whereas there are some sections and scenes of the novel are not included in the film, thereby creating changes in the tale or changing characters or adding some other effect which can be easily observed, but the matter to be acknowledge that all these changes some where else required by the movie Nelsons successes to justify the needs of little alteration with the same theme (Sophie, Papataxiarches & Stewart, P.86-97).

The Nelsons movie is more than in the area of Homer Smith (Sidney Poitier), whereas the play just describes us that He is and ex-GI. The Nelsons movie tells the viewers about his background in a very nut shell; people know only that he is a member of the Southern Baptist Convention, and that he is moving in his beach wagon all the way through the United States South-west. Homer stops in the desert and containing a desolate mission; He inquires a woman religious that he needed water for the sake of his car which is overheating. Just after asking for water form the nun he realizes his wallet which is entirely skinny, and then he makes up his mind some task for the holy ladies, before Homer shifts whatsoever urban center goes on to come next (Swain, P.201-235).

The same can be said for the story of Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut, and the movie 2081 directed by Chandler Tuttle.…

    In this paper, I am going to be comparing and contrasting the movie version and the novel entitled “The Accidental Tourist.” First, when one begins to read the book, they will notice that the opening scene takes place in a car on a rainy day. During this pivotal scene Sarah Leary asks Macon if he remembered what he said to a comment Sarah had said. She said “’I said to you the other day, I said, ‘Macon, now that Ethan’s dead I sometimes wonder if there’s any point to life.’ Do you remember what you answered?’ ‘Well not offhand,’ Macon said. ‘You said, ‘Honey, to tell the truth, it never seemed to me there was all that much point to begin with.’ Those were your exact words.’” Then she later tells Macon she wants a divorce. But, when one watches the movie, they would be deceived in two ways. First, Macon, the main character, is flying in an airplane and a man named Lucas Loomis, who does not appear until much later in the book, is with him. Secondly, if you wait a little while, you would see that Sarah and Macon are at home when they have the conversation that leads to Sarah’s divorce announcement. When I saw that I was hoping this was no indication of how the rest of the movie was going to be. But it was.…
