Movies vs. Books Movies and books has been one of many timeless debates around the world. People like to entertain themselves with one or the other. Books have been around through many generations‚ and movies are considered as something more current.

“‘A Clockwork Orange’ comparison of the book and film.” A Clockwork Orange is a dystopian nightmarish fantasy of a near-future England‚ where teenage hooligans neglect the somewhat standing laws of society‚ and take control of the streets after dark. The novel’s main character‚ fifteen year old Alex‚ and his three ’droogs‚’ take place in all-night acts of random violence and total destruction. This dark image Burgess has presented to the reader portrays his view of what he believed would be a

and he realizes Hamlet is mad is different in that Polonius never spies on them Ophelia just tells him. The only real issue with the movie is the absence of Fortinbras. He is a pretty important character‚ but I believe his part was cut from the film because his part is not a very necessary part in the play‚ and one can still understand the whole of the story without Fortinbras. But in the play‚ the ghost of Hamlet ’s father appears dressed in armor‚ as if ready for battle‚ and Horatio says it

heard someone say that the book is always better than the movie? Most avid readers hold this belief to be indubitably true. In most cases‚ the differences between the book and the movie are minute. However‚ one movie series based on a book has three astronomical differences that change the entire message conveyed by the writer. Even though said franchise is considered a cult classic and has been ranked number three on AFI’s (American Film Institute) top one-hundred films list for the last fifteen

A major downfall of the movies compared to the book is the added characters and storylines. While some of the added storyline help to clarify parts about the battle of five armies‚ it also serves to muddle up parts of the movie and making them hard to follow‚ such as the story line about the Necromanser and all the death he is bringing back to reclaim the mountain. Another one of these completely unnecessary use of additional characters and storylines is the love story between Kili and Tauriel. Even

The text is better than the film‚ because in the text‚ more detail is given about what happens in the story‚ rather than watching a movie and having bits cropped out. In the film‚ freak moves into the house next to max‚ and then there is just trouble coming up from lookism (Kevin) and relationship oppression (Max‚ as he is the son of a murderer). Mostly‚ it is just a plot and a sequence of events without much of a clear character arc. In the book‚ freak (Kevin) still moves into the house next to

ENG.2 5/23/2011 The Road The Road was both a phenomenal book and film. While reading The Road I was both intrigued and interested as to how Hollywood would portray this story‚ and after seeing the movie I was impressed with how closely the film followed the book. Though the book was enticing and unusual the movie quickly surpassed the book in my opinion. Though the movie followed the book closely‚ there were some differences such as the amount of flashbacks the father has‚ the illusion of hope
