Book to Movie

I feel a great children’s book that was transformed into a great movie was the “Three Little Pigs” not because it is my favorite children’s book of all time but because its straight up one of the best books of all time I feel that all children should watch and read. The film isn’t really that different from the book just a little here and there not too much but it’s surely noticeable I feel. As far as comparing and contrasting the book and the movie there really isn’t a huge difference between the two, but if someone had to do it, it wouldn’t be that hard just a little here then a little there. To start off with comparing the two everything is basically all the same everything goes in flow nothing is out of order everything is the same as in the book, like if you were to read the book as you were watching the movie it would all pretty much match up equal. Like instead of most novels that were changed into movies the Three Little Pigs actually stays the same as the book not adding any extra parts in the movie, it may be different at times in the movie that are not the same in the book but it still adds up to the same thing. While in some other movies the parts are completely different from book and just completely goes off topic into a whole different dimension, but not the Three Little Pigs it stays completely on topic and keeps you wanting to watch the movie even if you have read the book a million times as a young child and you know what’s about to happen it’s just so interesting and keeps drawing your attention more and more. Then come the book its interesting but not as interesting as the movie I guess just because it doesn’t have motion pictures in it that are moving as the movie does, but it’s still interesting. The book isn’t that different from the movie it is the complete opposite from what I just said about the movie just not as exciting. I feel if someone watches the movie then read the book after they will not like the book as much

    Usually when talking about a movie or a book, it hard to discuss the similarities and the differences. Because sometimes a movie can be more influencing than a book and vice versa. When I first started reading the book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, I was confused at first but then as I kept reading, I realized how things can go a certain way and how one person can make a change in the whole world without even meaning to. Personally, what I…

    One of the things that are different are that it talks about Bernard building his gang in battle school. Another example is that it introduces Bean when dragon army was rebooted in the book, but in the movie, Bean was introduced in the beginning. The final example is that in the movie, Ender found the queen after the battle near the base, in the book Ender finds the queen at the bugger planet that they were colonizing after a few years. This is how the book and the movie is very different from each other.…

    The second comparable scene is when the Socs and Greasers line up to fight each other. They are smack-talking back and forth with each other. Two similarities between the book and the movie could be the sound of the greasers and socs talking back and forth, and it both showed or described how the greasers and socs were lining up. Two differences between the book and the movie could be instead of Paul swinging at Darry, some random Soc swung at Ponyboy, and the empty lot looked different than what I had imagined when the book described it.The book was more effective during this scene because It gave more detail about how the lot looked like and it described the feeling better than the movie…

    The novel is much better than the movie. The novel is more interesting than the movie as there was a lot of description, which was used in the right places. It was easier to read the novel. The description in the novel was very detailed which was gross but it is not as bad as seeing pigs getting slaughtered visually in the movie. It was cruel and horrendous when they killed the pig so badly. Although the novel and the movie had the same plot there were many differences in-between. A few major differences seen in the movie was the shattering of the conch, the captain/pilots presence and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. The movie had many things missing in it such as personality traits and some characters. Even though they had to make the movie shorter but they have taken out some of the most important things stated in the novel. These reasons made the novel more enjoyable than the movie. In the novel the author had stated various times that there were no adults at all, therefore the boys were alone and had to fend for themselves. Though in the movie there was an adult, the captain/pilot which didn’t really make sense as it was totally different in the novel. The way the movie presents the characters, meaning the way they look and talk has basically no resemblance to the novels apart from piggy, ralph and the twins. The hunters were more vicious and cruel in the movie than the novel which was very bad to watch. In the novel it looked like that piggy and Ralph had not known each other at all and Ralph mocked Piggy a lot although in the movie they were best friends and confided in each other. There were many similarities to the novel but they were approached in a completely different aspect. The novel is much better than the movie due to all these reasons said above.…

    The Maltese Falcon

    Some similarities are very important to understand the story even if it’s in book or movie form. Starting with the setting or city it’s involved in. They were both set up in the city of San Francisco. If one was set up in San Francisco and one in let’s say Denver then the setting of the whole story would be off. The one in Denver would have a colder feeling and people would be wearing coats and stuff from the one in San Francisco the feeling wouldn’t be as cold. So the setting similarity is very important to the story on a high level. Also the names of all the characters are similar. This is important because if the characters were named different and someone was trying to follow along then that would confuse that person. So say if the character is named Jake in one story and Spade in another then how you would know without having to look for extra details like features of the face. Also the title is the same. I know there is a movie called Satan Meets a Lady that is a version of the Maltese Falcon. A movie watcher wouldn’t know that the book is related to the movie without putting two and two together. The movies name is very important to the person comprising and just wanted to see the movie. I love book related of movies and it’s easier to find if they had the same name. Those are only just a few similarities of the book and movie there are a lot more. So all the similarities are really important, from weather it’s to understanding the book verses the movie or vice versa.…

    First of all, one of the biggest reasons the movie is better than the book is because of the quality of the flashbacks. In the book the flashbacks were more set in the past and much longer, sometimes too drawn out and a little boring for how much background story there is for just one day dream, whereas in the movie the daydreams are a bit shorter but more set in the present and more affect by what he does in that moment with little background because of how short they are and how close to the present they may be. The daydreams are usually much more exciting in the movie as well, whereas in the book it's set back to just a boring doctor surgery, that was…

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    My first reason is; the movie again had more visuals than the book. Expanding on this; the movie had more scenery to show the viewer where the story takes place. Additionally, the movie also showed the the time era it took place in through setting; this in turn gives the viewer a better idea of how to perceive the story in this aspect. Second the movie had the advantage of being able to show what was going on through setting. My first reason being the movie showed the position of the characters and their behavior; this in turn displayed the tension through setting. Moreover, the movie also showed the main character’s whereabouts better through visual transitions. Last but not least, the movie showed more setting changes than the book. The book could only tell the reader that there was a change in the setting; these are usually major changes; the movie could show the more subtle ones, adding to the quality of the experience. The movie also set the mood better than the book through setting changes or adjustments. Concluding this; I believe the movie expressed the setting better than the…
