Cirque Du Freak Movie Vs Book
Essay on Cirque Du Freak

By: hp

This book project is on The Cirque du Freak. Cirque du Freak was an amazing book that was made into a movie in 2009. The use of this essay is to tell you the differences between the movie and the book. The book and the movie were not really the same at all.

The first difference is the movie is not just called Cirque du Freak it is called Cirque du Freak the Vampires assistant. In the book Darren Shan the main character narrates the book while in the movie it is some omniscient person. In the book Darren has three friends Steve and two others, while in the movie his only best friend is Steve.

In the next parts of the movie Darren and Steve are arguing when a dark colored limo drives by and drops a flyer, that flyer just happens to be for the Cirque du Freak. While in the book one of his other friends shows the flyer to Darren and Steve that’s when they decide they want to go. The next difference is how they get the tickets in the book Steve goes to the theatre before the show and gets the tickets but can only get two, in the movie Darren and Steve get the tickets right at the Cirque du Freak. …show more content…

    Freak the Mighty and The Mighty compare and contrast

    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…

    A River Runs Through It Essay

    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.…

    The Myth Of Perseus Vs. The Movie Clash Of The Tit

    Whenever you read a book and then go watch the movie, most of the time they don’t follow the same events in the same order. Just like in the myth “Perseus” and the movie, Clash of the Titans, the event are not all the same and some of the causes of the events are not the same either. Different things happen in the movies that are not even close to some of the things in the myth. These differences can either make the story better or just make it less interesting.…
