Compare And Contrast Kronos Book And Movie
The movie would be great, if one had not read the book. Upon reading the book, you notice that many characters were deleted, therefore shortning the story, monsters were added from the second book, and some parts were changed. The movie is your typical hollywood love story with a happy ending. The book is more action packed and leaves you wanting to read the rest of the series.Reading the book explains more in greater details and hints the retain of a greater evil that could possibly be the work of a "supposedly dead" Kronos (King of the titans and father of the

    Many do not think a modern movie could resemble an epic poem written around the time of 700 B.C. However, the movie, O’ Brother, Where Art Thou?, written and directed by the Coen brothers, and the poem, The Odyssey, written by Homer, are similar in multiple ways. The themes, plots, and characters are some of the ways these two pieces of literature are alike.…

    Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel, Persepolis, is an autobiography about her life during the Iranian Revolution and war. The film version of Persepolis is quite similar, however, the intention of the film is slightly different than the book. The book has many detailed panels that tell more of a dramatic story of Marjane’s life, while the film is less dramatic and detailed.…

    S.E. Hinton was only 15 years old when she wrote this extremely detailed book. I liked her book a lot because of how much detail she put into it. I didn’t like the movie a lot because I was kind of expecting it to be a lot like the book but was disappointed when it left out many different parts of the book. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the book was more effective in telling the story.…

    I liked the movie better. I personally did not really like the ending of the book. A. Square got to see the 3rd dimension, something no one except the council knew about. I thought there was going to be a big revelation at the end of the book, but instead he gets thrown into jail and basically forgotten. It was like nothing happened. Not even his grandson found out.…

    I was intrigued by the birth of the monster in this movie. However when I think about the last scene I am not that impressed by how they ended the movie. The way they choose to end it does not sit as well as Shelly’s ending. Shelly’s ending made sense to me and to everyone who read the book. Also the movies ending made the beast seem like a complete monster. This is not true in the book, at the end we see that the monster is not completely evil. He sits over Victor’s dead body and weeps. There is compassion in him. The book ending was so much better then the movie ending.…

    Ender’s Game is a novel about a child who voluntarily made the decision to military school in order to train to eventually fight in an alien invasion. When reading the novel, the reader is presented with the idea of taking someone’s childhood in order to win. When watching the movie, the viewer gets to see children fighting and preparing for a battle without knowing the overall purpose and message of the novel. Ender’s Game is asking if it is morally correct to train a child for war. In the end though, the novel shows a more fitting message than the movie portrays it.…

    Everyone loves to immerse themselves into a dramatic and extraordinary story with evil monsters, brave hero's, and the desperate will to survive. It allows you to escape your troubles and take you to a new and exiting please with each and every second. However, there are some stories that simply do not capture the essence of breathtaking adventure. The movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? created by the comedic team of Ethan and Joel Coen, simply does not capture the perplexing classic story. O Brother, Where Art Thou? Is the big screen remake of Homer's epic poem, "The Odyssey". This original story is about the adventure of Odysseus as he escapes his seven year imprisonment from the goddess Calypso. This Epic hero battles numerous monsters on his desperate attempt to return home to his wife Penelope, whom he meets again in a heartfelt reuniting. However, in the re-make film, a man named Ulysseus is a prison escapee that is desperate to keep his wife, Penny, from marrying another man, lying and cheating his way to reach his goal. The Coen brothers have created such a disappointing excuse for capturing a real hero and his adventures to be reunited with his true love. It is near idiotic. The story is so foggy and distracted by the unneeded details, and it abandons the true meaning of the heartwarming story.…

    In my honest opinion I did not like this book and I do not recommend it. The story itself is magnificent but the fact that it is 100% based off of the movie makes it pointless to read. They could have thrown in more deadly obstacles to face and made it worth reading. Overall it had more weaknesses than strengths. Strengths I can give is that if you haven’t seen the movie, then the book could definitely give you exactly what you’ve missed out on. It is a great story and is more than your average adventure tale. Reading it really does make you feel like you were a kid again, running around and being creative.…

    Antigone: Movie vs Book

    • 676 Words
    • 3 Pages

    The play Antigone was written by Sophocles in about 442 B.C. Now back in his day, there were kings, queens, and kingdoms. But things have changed since then and by the time the year got to be 1970, most of that was gone. I’m sure it was hard for the director of the 1970’s version of Antigone to write a script based on a concept most living people have never seen before. So that is probably the reason why the book and the movie are so different.…

    Some actors acted and appeared entirely different in the movie than the book. The directing and special effects were okay in some scenes, but half-baked and lousy in others. Furthermore, the characters are developed far less in the film and many semi-important scenes in the novel are excluded in the film. Do not watch this movie unless you have read the novel (or even if you have read it). If you haven’t read the book and decide to watch the movie instead, you will fail to understand the complicated relationships between each character and between the Socs and Greasers and just think the movie is substandard and all aspects of the movie lacked in action, emotion, or just seemed like they were not well thought out. A 3.5/10 may seem harsh, but I was not pleased. Just go read the book instead. It had the potential to be a great film, but severely missed the…

    I believe that these changes allotted for a more interesting story than a man killing a bunch of monsters. While the book allowed us to create our own thoughts and ideas, I feel that watching a movie based on a book will always give better clarification of another person’s perspective. The changes that were made gave a better understanding of the book. In my opinion, the movie was more of an explanation of the book. The changes were made to give the audience a faster and more enjoyable way of understanding the story of…

    It showed how the myth of Hercules could have actually happened, but it isn’t backed up by fact. Hercules again is the son of Zeus and Alcmena and again Hera wanted him dead, so she sent the two snakes to kill him and they didn’t. Hercules had a wife and three children, but in this retelling he can’t remember anything from the night they died. After that, Hercules worked as a mercenary to complete the 12 labors, which are mentioned throughout the movie, but never all at once or in great detail. Unlike in Hamilton’s book, Hercules had companions on these adventures and he was doing these things for money. The labors themselves, like killing the Hydra, were not as they seemed. The people in the movie believed he had actually killed a monster, but it was actually men disguised. The main storyline of the movie revolves around the city of Thrace, where the king has hired Hercules and his companions to defeat Rhesus, a man who they are told is terrorizing villages and farms. Like in Hamilton's book, Hercules prevails and defeats his opponent, however, he soon realizes that something is amiss. Unlike in Hamilton’s book, Hercules is clever as well as strong. Rhesus tells Hercules that he has been fighting for the wrong side, that it is the King who is destroying and taking villages. Hercules and most of his companions decided to stay and fight against the king; they were captured and almost killed by Cerberus, who is actually just three separate wolves. But, when Hercules remembers how his family died, by another man, King Eurystheus, who is working with the king, he is empowered (Eurystheus also appears in Hamilton's version, however he is not working with Hera in this story). Hercules escapes with his companions due to his use of strength and together they kill Eurystheus and the King, saving Thrace and it’s people. Unlike in the other versions so far,…

    In my opinion, I believed the story version was better than the movie because it had an easier plot to follow. The story version was also more interesting than the movie. Another reason the story was better because his family lives in the story and it has a happy ending to it. Both versions of “The Clash of the Titans” were interesting, but I preferred the Greek version more than the movie…
