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

In The Invention of Hugo Cabret vs. Hugo‚ the element of character relationships in the book and the movie are developed very differently.

Contrast between the Movie and Book Version of “Animal Farm” I always think the book is better than the movie‚ and Animal Farm is no exception. One reason is that I form pictures in my mind as I read‚ and I imagine what each of the characters must look like and where they live as they live out their stories.

watching "Last of the Mohicans" I found that there are many differences between the book‚ and the movie. Before I watched the movie‚ I thought it would exactly like the book‚ but I was wrong. If you were to read the book‚ and then watch the movie‚ you would be amazed at what they left out of the book‚ and vice versa. As I stated before‚ there are many differences between the book and the movie. For example‚ in the book‚ there is a character named David Gamut. This character follows his profession
