One may think the novel is more effective because it better shows Bilbo’s feelings and emotions. However‚ others may disagree that novel isn’t as effective as the movie because the movie doesn’t just focus on one character‚ it focuses on all of them allowing viewers to understand the plot of the movie

The book was better than the movie on account of it had way more details‚ and it had more parts in it than the movie did. It is extremely time-consuming to fit an entire book in a less than two hour long movie‚ but authors and readers can produce a book as long as you want. Although the movie took a shorter time to watch than reading the book did‚ the readers can retrieve more from a book than they can retrieve from watching a movie. Even in movies that into feeling by the book scene for scene there

Beowulf Comparison Beowulf is a very appealing novel as well as a film. The novel Beowulf and the film have many similarities‚ but they have more differences then anything.

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

Most often when a book or a poem gets made into a movie‚ there are many similarities and differences amongst the two. This was no exception for the epic poem Beowulf‚ translated by Seamus Heaney‚ and the 2007 animated motion picture “Beowulf.” It became evident rather early on in the film that the directors had interpreted the poem far differently than what it was made out to be when it was originally written. In the opening scene‚ King Hrothgar is illustrated as fat and slobbishly; almost like a

The movie was more intriguing than the book and was easier to comprehend the history. The movie helped me understand what was going on in the book. The movie caught my attention more than the book did. The movie emphasized more than the book did. I’d like to build on the idea that the movie helped me understand what was going on in the book because I wasn’t really interested in the book so I didn’t really take in all the history that I could in the movie because the movie was more action packed
