Angelo Larmour Freak the Mighty 11/12/13 Movie vs. Book
There are a lot of things that are similar and different about Freak the Mighty the movie and Freak the Mighty the book. These are just some of things that are similar and different about the book. If you have seen the movie but haven’t read the book or vice versa there are a lot of things that are different or the same between the two. First there are a lot of similarities between freak the mighty the movie and freak the mighty the book here are a couple examples. First something that was the same is Freak dying at the end, but it wasn’t exactly the same because Freak dies at home in the movie and in the book he dies in a hospital. Another similarity would be the down under because in the book it was always dark and quiet and in the movie they kept it the same. Also something the two things kept the same was how Max and Freak met by getting the mechanical bird out of the tree. Second there are a lot of differences also about Freak the Mighty the movie and Freak the Mighty the book. Here is a couple of examples of differences are. One of the examples would be that when Loretta came to save Max, in the book when Loretta tried to get Max away from Killer Kane she did while Iggy went with Killer Kane to get a gun and a vehicle, while in the movie Loretta tried to get him out while she brought them pizza for Christmas and while she was going to but the pizza on the table she handed max a pair of clippers to break himself free. Another thing that was different between the two was that in the movie they were in a store and a guy was trying to take this woman’s purse and Freak The Mighty came over and stopped him. One more thing that was different was that when Freak went to save Max, in the book Freak told the police that Killer Kane was probably hiding max at Iggy’s house since Iggy was a friend

    While these similarities show what these pieces have incommon Freak the Mighty and The Mighty still have differences that make them distinctive. Although the characters have the same names, I have got to say there appearance was definitely incorrect. In the book Max was said to be 7 feet tall, while Kevin was said to be 2 feet tall. In the movie Max was about 6 feet and Kevin was the height of an average 6th grader at Eldorado K-8 ( about 4”6’). Kevin was supposed to have blond hair and blue eyes ( the movie gave him brown eyes and brown hair) while Maxes appearance was not clear in the book. Additionally, in the book, Kevin and Max seemingly lived in suburbia while the movie gave the impression they lived in much more of a city.For example, the old testaments seemed much bigger and better-looking than described in the book ( broken toys and ragged and dirty children who seemed a little broken themselves). The minor problem in plot detail is a third difference. In the movie, Kevin is apparently Max’s LD…

    The book Freak the Mighty was far better than the Movie. A big part of the book and movie was King Arthur and his knights. During the book and the movie Freak loved King Arthur so he loved to quote him to help Max learn. They also went on quest like knights did. This is how they came into contact with Iggy and Loretta Lee.…

    There are many major differences and important similarities between the film, The Mghty, and the book, Freak the Mighty. One of the major differences between the book and the film is that in the film Freak dies in his sleep on christmas but in the book he dies in the hospital after having a stroke. One of the major and important similarities of the book is when Freak and Max are at the firework show and Freak keeps complaining that he can’t see. In both the book and the film Max reaches down without thinking and picks Freak on his shoulders so that he can see. The difference in the book occurs in chapter 24 when it states “ Now more nurses are coming out of the ICU.” it also states “ But what really happened was his heart just got too big…

    Some of the things I liked in Freak the Mighty movie was how Max and Freak had to overcome their disorders in order to do what they wanted. And that Max and Freak were always there for eachother. The movie was inspirational because it was about two boys that are very different from one another but they put aside their differences to help each other. The author and director of the book and movie were trying to give us a message the message was to accept people for who they are not how they look. The things I didn't like about the…

    They can see that max and Kevin are best friends, that slay Dragons, help one another, and fight for justice. Both the novel and movie tells me it. Also both tells me that when max and Kevin are together that are called Freak the mighty and and that nobody can beat them , not even killer Kane. the novel and the movie tells readers to always have time with friends and family and that it only matters who you are not what other people think of you . last of all both tells you to be happy with what you have because one day the happiest thing that you have may go away like Freak is to Max.The book describes that Max lives in a very nasty, dirty underground place but the movie shows that he only lives in the basement and the basement is not so nasty…

    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.…
