Compare And Contrast Birds Book And Movie
In the birds the book and movie are really different. To me i really preferred the movie over the book but the both seemed pretty pointless and pretty stupid because like in the movie the characters have different names. In the movie there was also a lot of really bad actors. Whereas in the book you didn't have to worry about bad actors you just would read.

In the movie in the beginning the girl started off in a bird shop pretending to work there and so when a man walked in pretending to buy some love birds for his sister for her birthday. But in the book it never happened neither did the girl going across lake in the boat when the gull swooped down and cut her head. And in the movie the birds attacked all the kids from school . but in the

    Although we enjoyed reading To Kill a Mockingbird, we were eager to see the film version. We were somewhat disappointed in the movie because it left out some of the main scenes. On the other hand, the movie is 2 hours and 9 minutes. The movie never leaves you predicting what will happen next. Nevertheless, our opinions are that we favored the book over the movie.…

    The Alfred Hitchcock movie, The Birds, was said to be based on the DuMaurier story by the same name. Both versions included birds going wild and attacking humans. They also included some of the same things, for example, in the movie and the book, they boarded up the doors and windows to repel the attack, and someone is found dead at a farm with their eyes pecked out. However, the similarities are not as numerous as the differences. There are many contrasts between the story and the film, particularly in the areas of characters, and setting.…

    Ever read a book, and then seen the movie? The book is usually better right? That’s most likely because of the differences. The book is more descriptive most of the time. Events in the book are missing from the movie. Or the movie adds some in.…

    Creating a motion picture from a novel and conveying the author's intended message is a difficult task. Some film makers gracefully meet the challenge, while others fail, warping the original meaning of the novel in order to appeal to he general movie going population. Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird novel to movie transition is a mid-ground between the two extremes. Lee's theme of tolerance is neither completely destroyed nor completely expressed. The absence of characters Dolphus Raymond and Link Deas, along with the change in Dill's personality in the movie contributes to the deterioration of Lee's original theme of tolerance.…

    The first difference I really noticed is that Jonas and his friends are much older in the movie. In the book Jonas becomes a 12 and in the movie Jonas becomes a 18. They also get their jobs when they turn 18 and not when they turn 12. As the movie starts you see Jonas and you can see that he is much older than they described…

    One such thing that was the same throughout both was the amount of cruelty that the prisoners were forced to go through. They were mentally and physically tortured, starved, and treated very poorly overall. A major difference between the movie and the novel at this point was the arrival of the "Bird." The "Bird" was a nickname given by the prisoners to a particularly cruel officer named Watanabe Mitsushiro. In the movie, the "Bird" was already stationed at the camp when Louie arrived, but in the book Louie had already been in the camp for a time before the "Bird" arrived. From this point on, the movie and the book have many similarities. One such similarity is the immediate interest that the "Bird" showed in Louie. The "Bird" was extremely cruel and violent towards the prisoners and in particular towards Louie. He was vicious and relentless in his cruelty towards Louie, but it was portrayed differently in the movie and the book. In the book, the "Bird" was a psychopath and would sometimes be seen frothing at the mouth while beating an unfortunate prisoner. He would then force the men to do humiliating deeds, much of the time driving the poor man to the brink of insanity. Yet even though he hated the prisoners, he always asked their forgiveness once the beatings stopped. He would even be seen sobbing and comforting those whom he had violently…

    As you watch a movie, you can see a big difference between the movie and book. In the book and movie, “To kill a Mockingbird”, there is a difference between them. They are both different because the book has more details about situations that are happening. Also, because of the way you can picture what is going on. They are similar because in some parts in the movie, the characters say the same things as to when you read the book. In my opinion, the book gives you a better understanding of what the story is about because of the details it provides.…

    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.…
