When comparing and contrasting movies and books‚ the majority of the time the book presents more of a detailed atmosphere and illustration of events. However‚ in this case I think the book‚ "Autobiography of Malcolm X" and the movie‚ "Malcolm X" quoin side with one another. Spike Lee is not only one of the best filmmakers in America‚ but one of the most crucially important‚ because his films address the central subject of race‚ as so does the book. He doesn’t use a sentimental approach or political

However‚ most of the time these people would unknowingly butcher the book based movie by taking out many important characters and events

conflict of the Odyssey is perseverance. Throughout the novel it shows Odysseus’s multiyear journey back home from the Trojan War with his comrades even after most of them die on the journey. The modern work that I will be comparing the Odyssey to is O Brother‚ Where Art Thou. Both of the works are about the perseverance of a group of men that are encountered by numerous people that get in the way or attempt to stop them from accomplishing their mission.

Lagenda Budak Setan. What are the differences between watching a movie and reading a novel? There are some contrasts between the two actions.

breathtaking costumes‚ the movie Troy was a Hollywood movie that was certainly a box office hit. I am not sure if you know this but Troy was based on the Iliad an epic by Homer. Aside from the excitement during the movie‚ unfortunately it proved to be a loose adaptation of Homer’s classic and I could not help but notice the major differences between the book and the movie. One of the most major differences between the book and the movie was the absence of the Gods in the movie. In Homer’s Iliad‚ the

As the men get closer he has no choice but to cut his own arm off in order to escape‚ this action is an actual animal reaction when their limb gets caught
