The original Peter Pan was a book written by J.M. Barrie. There are many differences in the book and the movie, the movie made the story more appropriate for children and left out things from the book and but other things in, but the storyline is still the same in many ways.

There was many things left out from the book in the movie of Peter Pan. some examples were how like how when the children were going to fly off with Peter, they had a hard time grasping how to fly, “they were not as elegant as Peter, they could not help kicking a little, but their heads bobbing against the ceiling..(33)”. In the book Mr. Darling gave nana his medicine as a joke but in the movie, he fell on nana and made a mess in the nursery. On page 19 in the book it says “ let us build a little house around her”, in the movie they did not do this. Also, the book says that Peter has killed many people(39), when he was talking to Wendy and her brothers, but it was not put in the movie.

    Why is it that when a book gets it’s own movie that there are several differences between the book and the movie? Some people argue that the book is always better than the movie. There is a reason for this. Firstly, in most book to movie adaptations small details are changed or are just not included. Secondly, the movie often takes short cuts and doesn’t touch on certain aspects that were described in the book. Lastly, when reading a book you are free to make your own subtext and fill in the blanks with your imagination. The movie adaptations of books have always lacked the detail that's in the book, some things are completely cut from the movie to maintain a well paced story, and it fills in the gaps for us making the experience less unique.…

    There are many differences between the movie and the book. First the positive points: This film attaches faces to Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, since no description of their faces is given in the book. Also, the film has some genuinely hilarious moments, particularly the scene where Scout is dressed as a ham and walking through the forest. Another good point is that the acting was superb and a treat to watch. Gregory Peck, who played Atticus, was captivating. The film is cast very well. The novel does not give physical descriptions of Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, but the film characters were believable. The actors look like what we would expect them to look like.…

    There are many differences and summaries between the book and the movie the coronals of Narnia the lion, witch and wardrobe. For example; “In the movie, they crossed that river (jumping over ice bergs, Megrim confronting them on the river, etc), while I'm pretty sure that in the book they didn't cross it, but walked along it or something... can't fully recall. Also, I'm pretty sure in the book they were only confronted by Megrims once after Edmund betrayed them (when Peter fought him), but in the movie there was also the aforementioned confrontation on the river.…

    There isn't as many differences as there are similarities in the stories, but they are very noticeable, for example, in the book, Lennie is described as "big" and "dark around the eyes", but in the movie Lennie isn't fat and he is white so you can see his eyes clearly. To me, he looked pretty average except you can notice there is something wrong with him by the way he acted. There are many quotes in the book that aren't said in the movie. It's good to know that both stories aren't "exactly" the same. Then, if you read or watch one, you wouldn't have to read or watch the other. Unless you are supposed to be comparing or contrasting each, that's a different story!…

    One would believe that a movie based on a storybook would have the same plot. In comparing and contrasting the movie Tangled to the short story “Rapunzel”, one can find many differences and very few similarities. Tangled was developed by Disney and has grossed 590 million dollars in the first year; however, “Rapunzel” is only a folk tale handed down through the years until it was finally written down in the 1800s. This is only the beginning of the differences. Looking closely at the plots, one can definitely see there is a difference in the two.…

    The first part of Perkowski’s analysis encompasses the information sources for the film, which includes the movie, the director, and the major actors and actresses of the film. The movie, The Lost Boys tells the story of a group of vampires who terrorize the fictional town of Santa Carla, California, until a group of younger teenagers kills them. The film, as indicated by the title, did get some of its inspiration from the original Peter Pan. The similarities are evident in how the vampires and all the teens in the films live in a world that attempts to avoid adult intrusion at all costs. The vampires also supposedly never die, which is similar to in how Peter Pan’s lost boys never aged. There are also many similarities between Captain Hook and Max as they both threaten the adult-free and rule-free life both groups of “lost boys”…

    archetypes in peter pan

    Barrie uses a variety of archetypes but among the most that strengthen the fairytale genre of the story are Captain Hook and Peter, as villain and eternal boy/hero. Captain Hook is Neverland’s villain who apart from doing evil deeds wants to kill Peter Pan. “ Hook always carried about his person a dreadful drug, blended by himself of all the death-dealing rings that had come into his possession”(111-112). This quote clearly shows Hook’s evil nature. He will later use this drug to try to kill Peter Pan. Barrie creates Peter Pan as the eternal boy who stands up to Hook’s evil actions. Sometimes Peter’s childish behavior weakens his hero archetype. “Now Peter could never resist a game”(80). This quote shows that while he can get the advantage over Hook as a real hero, he can just as easily throw that away by following his boyish tendencies. Barrie further uses female archetypes to develop the story as a fairytale.…

    Rapunzel Book Vs Movie

    Brother Grimm's print version of Rapunzel, and Disney's film version of Tangled both send the same message of not giving up, but the film version is more effective in sending the main idea. In the print version of Rapunzel, the love interest of Rapunzel is the prince, who is too naïve and listens to what Rapunzel says, without questioning her decisions. He is curious at first about Rapunzel, and then when he meets her, he falls in love instantly. This leads to the loss of his sense of sight, taken by Gothel, who had found out about the prince from Rapunzel a few moments before. However, the love interest of Rapunzel in the film version, Eugene, is seen as a more cunning individual. He deceives people at first, but as time goes on, he realizes his feelings for Rapunzel, and helps her follow her…
