Spider Man
The Amazing Peter Parker
Watching movies created from books I have read, I have noticed many similarities and also many differences regarding the plot. The most recent example of varying plots that I have evaluate is Spider-Man the comic series written by Stan Lee to Spider-Man the film directed by Sam Raimi. One of the main events that differ between the two is the circumstances surrounding Peter’s Uncle Ben’s murder. The differences in the murders also play a more important role in the development of Peter’s emotions in each case. In both the comic book and the movie, Peter also goes through various physical changes that affect his emotional state. Sam Raimi’s 2002 film depicts a more emotional and tragic vision of Peter Parker than Stan Lee’s The Amazing Spider-Man, because it creates more of a feeling of liability in Uncle Ben’s death. In Sam Raimi’s 2002 film when Peter started developing his new abilities, he would stop coming home after school in order to practice controlling his powers. One night Peter forgot to come home even though he promised he would help his Uncle paint the kitchen. At that point, Uncle Ben noticed that Peter was acting strange. While Uncle Ben was driving Peter to the library he asked Peter if everything was alright and if he needed to talk about anything. Uncle Ben goes on and on about the changes of life and he says to Peter he understands what he is going through. However, Peter is not going through the daily teenage hormones his Uncle is talking about. Peter becomes offensive because he is not going through regular human mutation, but something no one has ever experienced before. Peter becomes very upset and storms out of the car. Little did Uncle Ben know, Peter was actually out trying to win money wrestling as Spider-Man. When Peter was on his way back to the library from the wrestling match, he noticed a crowd of people standing out front. When he reaches the center of the crowd, Peter finds a dying Uncle Ben. In Stan

    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.…

    In many movies there is a book created before the movie so the movie can base it off the book. Such as unbroken, a story of a man that was never broken after being held prisoner in japan during WWII, this book was made before the movie and came out completely different. The movie only took the important parts of the book such as running in the olympics and being held prisoner. In the movie there are many key differences between the book and the movie, but they both are still very similar. There are so many books and movies like that.…

    When you read a book do you visualize the movie in your head? When books are turned into movies most the time the author’s message is ruined, and the integrity of the novel. When someone writes a novel they write it from their point of view, their vision, it’s their story. But when a director hears, or reads the book they see it differently and from their point of view. Novels become a different novel when turned into a Hollywood movie because no one visualizes the same characters, settings or themes.…

    Movies and books are always different; in a movie you can show multiple characters, and in most books you're stuck in one character's narrative. For instance in the book The Giver the character Fiona doesn’t care about Jonas as deeply as she does in the movie. In the movie she stops her injections, and she starts to love Jonas. However in the book she only “enjoys having Jonas’s company”. In the movie she also helps Jonas steal Gabe before he is killed, and she is put in the community jail for helping him. Before she is going to be released she talks about how she has felt things. That she knows what it is like to truly feel, and in the book she isn’t this unorthodox.…

    In most cases when there are two versions of something we can find differences and similarities, such as when a book is made into a movie. An example of this is the book To Kill A Mockingbird which was made into a movie, these two versions are very different but portray the same story. The movie does a good job in presenting the main points of the book but overall the film and the novel are dissimilar more than they are alike. The three main differences are the alterations of major scenes, the absence of characters and the lack of details illustrated in the book.…

    Peter’s perseverance throughout the book led him to defeat Sir Phillip Morton and his conspirators. Peter was put in very difficult circumstances, such as when he snuck into the “Yellow Gentleman’s” house and got his stolen play back. Perhaps the author wanted to portray a different type of hero, but when Peter was climbing up the side of the house and-although it was a tough situation-kept going, it showed Peter’s heroic qualities. Peter’s state of mind at the time is unimaginable, he said this as he was climbing “Each time I put my weight on a fresh dagger, my heart went into my mouth and I heaved myself for the splash below.” (p. 132) Taking on such a job to begin with, is an enormous responsibility, but to do it alone, takes bravery and devotion. Peter displayed his endurance when he was held captive on an island for questioning and said “I knew I had to fight on. This was no sunny bathing trip.” (p. 201) Despite suffering, Peter was devoted to his mission and had the temerity to carry on. Although Peter’s life was at risk many times in the book Cue for Treason, he was able to endure the struggle.…
