“The Most Dangerous Game” compare and contrast
Have you ever watched a movie expecting it to be different from the book. A great example of this is “ The Most Dangerous Game.” There are three specific differences in the characters, setting, and plot of ‘The Most Dangerous Game.”
The characters in “The Most Dangerous Game” are not the same in the movie as they are in the story. There are more people in the beginning of the movie. Whitney, Rainsford and everyone on board are in the beginning of the movie. Whitney, Rainsford , and the Captain are in the beginning of the story. In the Movie there are more butlers than in the story. In the movie there is Ivan and two more butlers. In the story there is only Ivan bye himself . In the movie they added a girl. This didn’t happen in the story. The girl changed the whole point of the movie line.
There is quite few a differences in the setting. The story and movie contrasted each other in these three ways. In the movie the island is named “Brink island”. In the story it is named “Ship Trap Island”. Another part that is different is the mansion. The mansion in the story is nice but in the movie it is dark and creepy. The part in the movie where they walk in the swamp it is foggy. In the story Rainsford steps in the quick sand and quickly jumps out.
They changed the plot quite a few times in the movie compared to the story. The story had a straight “get to the point” plot going on for it. The movie had many different plot twists that varied. In the story it was like each little thing led up to the climax and falling action. One difference between the book and the movie the beginning they crashed the ship on the rocks. In the story Rainsford fell off the ship. Another difference in the plot. Rainsford was to busy trying to protect the girl in the movie. In the story he tried to get off the island. The last main difference in the plot is they leave the island in the Movie. In the

    Can you imagine being the only survivor on a shipwreck? Most of us say, “Hey that will never happen”. But we can never be certain that things like that won’t happen. The Most Dangerous Game is a short story by Richard Connell, published in 1924. Many adaptations have been created of this story, but sadly, none have been as good as the original. Sometimes, adaptations of stories only become worse. To make a great adaptation, good actors are required. It is also important not to go overboard with changing things from the original. Finally, over exaggerating the events in a story when making an adaptation can also make things go wrong.…

    Another noticeable change in the movie verses the book was the emphasis on the different characters. The main character was indisputably Michael Oher in both the book and the movie. However, the movie put a strong emphasis on Leigh Anne Touhy (who was played by Sandra Bullock) and presented her as the second most major character aside from Michael. The book, on the other hand, had a lot more facts about Sean that the movie never presented. Leigh Anne was a key player in both, but in the movie, she seemed to be so much more of a main character that the other characters that stood out in the book did not do so in the movie. The major example of that was Sean Touhy who seemed to be the first one to invest in Michael in the book unlike the movie where he played a more quiet and uninvolved role in Michael's life. There were other subtle differences that could be noticed, like having the necessary GPA for an NCAA scholarship be 2.5 (movie) instead of 2.56 (book) which led to another problem to work around, or having Michael's fight be with the gang members in his old neighborhood (movie) instead of with one of his teammates at Ole Miss (book). Overall, however, the movie attempted to portray an accurate account of the book which made it enjoyable to read and watch both.…

    Have you ever read a book, then watched the movie on it and wanted to throw the book at the director’s face and tell them to actually read the book? This is what happened when I read a novel titled Where The Rivers Flow North by Howard Frank Mosher, and then watched the movie on it. In 1927, in Kingdom County, Vermont, a large dam is to be built; however, Noel Lord, a logger and cedar-oil harvester, won't give up his lifetime lease on the land. The dam company increases its offer of cash, but Noel refuses time after time. He asks for a trade; the white pines for his lease. Noel, meanwhile, talks with his wife, Bangor, about them moving to Oregon and buying a saw mill. She wants him to take the company's money; but he’s stubborn. His stubbornness is what ultimately leads them to their death, causing them both to be victims. Yet in the movie, only one of them meets with their untimely death. Between the book and the movie, three major differences were Noel’s death scene, Bangor’s death, the showing of the panther and Noel becoming a legend and story to tell just like his ancestors. I’m not satisfied with these differences because they don’t portray the book accurately. These key differences can really impact ones thoughts on both the book and the movie and the way one feels about how the director and producers of the movie chose to represent the book.…

    In the Most Dangerous Game the main character faces many conflicts. Conflicts really get you hooked into the book but, not understanding or figuring out the resolution to the conflicts makes the story not as interesting.Three of the conflicts really stood out while reading The Most Dangerous Game.

    After watching the movie, Get a Clue, and reading the book, The Westing Game, I noticed many significant differences and similarities. These can change how you watch the movie or read the book. The differences that stood out to me the most were that the movie is told in Turtle’s point of view, there are less characters in the movie, and the characters’ personalities were different. The story can be changed by all of these, and these are the reasons why. The first difference I will talk about is the point of view in the movie and the book.…

    In “The Most Dangerous Game”, the main setting is an island called Ship-Trap that is also consumed by evil. The similarities in both of these stories in a setting perspective, is that the island and the forest are both full of evil. The story of “Young Goodman Brown” is set in Massachusetts in the 1700’s during the time of the Salem witch trials, while “The Most Dangerous Game” is set in the 1920’s. Although the time periods of both of these stories are different, the themes of the settings in both are evil. Both of these settings represent evil because of where they are located. A dark forest creates a scary and uneasy mood, while a secluded island where you can hear gunshots also creates a scary and uneasy…

    The Most Dangerous Game, by Richard Connell, is an original nonfiction story about two hunters who take themselves into the Amazon to hunt down animals. Rainsford, one of the main hunters, ends up finding himself on a mysterious island after an accident occurs. Comparing to the film, the characters throughout the scenes differentiate in many ways. Although, the short story itself is entertaining. The changes such as the shipwreck, a love interest, and character development that the director produces a much more dramatic plot, placing the audience on the edge of their seats.…

    The first difference between the movie and novel is directly at the beginning. While the novel tells us that there is a guest house where a few couples are staying, the movie shows a difference scene. In the movie, there are people sitting on the beach drinking. While drinking, the man notices a woman, named Chrissie, who he approaches. She then takes off running down the beach. The man follows after her, both yelling at each other and undressing as they run, and they arrive at the shore. The girl dives in and yells for the man to join her while she continues swimming. While he is still undressing, he passes out on the shore. This results in him being safe from what is about to occur. Still waiting on the man, Chrissie is attacked and killed by the shark. Now, in the novel, this scene appears to be much different. The man and Chrissie both walk out of a guest house and lay on the beach. Chrissie decides she wants to go for a swim, trying to tempt the man into going with her, but he refuses and falls asleep. She slowly wades out, calling one last time for the man to join her, who ignores due to the fact that he is asleep. While Chrissie is in the water, the shark attacks her and she is killed. This is where the next difference comes in.…

    Another difference between the movie and the book are the animals that attacked Brian while he was in the wilderness. In the movie the bear attacked Brian and destroyed his shelter and he wrestled and injured the bear. Also in the movie Brian got attacked by a raccoon. While in the book Brian sees the bear but doesn’t have any physical contact with her. In the book Brian got attacked by a moose and a skunk.
