Lauren Oliver Movie Vs Book
Lauren Oliver is one of my favorite authors so you would think that finding out that one of her books was going to be adapted into a movie would make me excited. However, due to previous attempts of portraying her works on film, I was actually left more skeptical instead (The pilot for the planned television series based off of Delirium was an absolutely disgusting mess).
Thankfully though, this time things were done right. The movie stayed true to the book with minimal changes/cut out parts. There were some scenes that I wish had more time spent on, specifically when Sam hangs out with her little sister, but the areas that they did cut down or completely eliminated did not take away from the main story. I was quite impressed that pretty much

    Compare And Contrast The Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963

    I believe the movie was told very differently than the book because a movie director is entertaining a different audience than an author of a book. A director has different goals and thoughts to portray than the original book. The director is given certain artistic freedoms to help better connect with the audience and sometimes that makes the story change a little…

    Davie Movie Vs Book

    In the book, Davie fell overboard. Oh, wait, in the movie, the ship blew up. Never mind the fact that the movie was much more violent, it was completely derailed of the plot! Yes, many of the people out there like guns and bombs, but the book had many more twists and turns then the movie. I will show you one comparison I noticed. In the movie, Davie’s dad died from a tree falling on him. In the book Davie’s dad was shot. Also, the book itself didn’t start with Davie’s dad dying , it started with Davie’s dad being dead, and Mr.Campbell telling him that he belonged to the House of Shaws. Also a misfortune for the movie watchers, the trip only took 2 miles, and in the book, it took him 2 days. Therefore, there was much more events in the beginning of the book.…

    Describe The Differences Between Book And The Movie Hannah

    There isn't really many comparing factors between the book and the movie but some are that Hannah opens the door to let in the prophet Elijah in both the book and the movie. Hannah tells stories to the women and children in her barrack in both the book and the movie and I think that those stories is probably what kept most of them alive throughout the movie. Rivka survives in both the book and the movie because Hannah wanted her to get out so she took her place to go into the gas chambers. Rivka later gets out of the amps and changes her name to Eva like she said she would in the movie to Hannah. Rivka later becomes Hannah's aunt Eva in both the book and the movie. Hannah goes to die for rivka in both the book and the movie. The contrast…

    The Watsons Go To Birmingham: Differences Between The Book And Movie

    The settings I imagined while reading the book were very different from what I saw in the movie. Some of the characters such as Kenny and Byron were shorter than I imagined, but Joetta was taller than I imagined her and Grandma Sands looked very different than I imagined. I thought she would be tiny, really old looking, and very mean. She wasn’t really any of those. The settings were very different such as the church and the Watsons house. I thought they would be more dated. Their house wasn’t modern, but wasn’t as old as I imagined from the context clues in the book. Overall I liked the movie better because it had more information about racism and I felt I learned more about it. I think I would like the movie even better if it had Rufus as a character, but it was still a great…

    To Kill A Mocking Bird Book Vs Movie

    There are many differences between the movie and the book. First the positive points: This film attaches faces to Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, since no description of their faces is given in the book. Also, the film has some genuinely hilarious moments, particularly the scene where Scout is dressed as a ham and walking through the forest. Another good point is that the acting was superb and a treat to watch. Gregory Peck, who played Atticus, was captivating. The film is cast very well. The novel does not give physical descriptions of Scout, Jem, Miss Maudie, and Dill, but the film characters were believable. The actors look like what we would expect them to look like.…

    The Outsiders Movie Vs Book

    The book The Outsiders is written by S.E Hinton. It is a book about two gangs called the Socs and the Greasers. They have different social groups and it makes them to where they do not get along. The book was also turned into a movie it was directed by Francis Ford Coppola. There are many differences between the book and the movie. The differences worth pointing out are that Dally was accused of slashing someones tires in the movie not in the book, that Johnny was not jumped in the movie but he was jumped in the book.…

    Blind Side

    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.…

    Also, Barbra's character takes a complete overhaul for this film. Going from a mostly comatose mess, to being highly functional and actually pretty bad-ass. Which is a really nice change-up from her character in the first film. Harry while still being a dick, isn't as unlikable this time around and Ben comes off just ass hot-headed. Helen is also more dynamic standing up the Harry, while Tom and Judy remain largely unchanged.…

    The Outsiders Movie Review Essay

    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…

    Kite Runner Movie vs. Book

    Translating a book into a movie can be a very elusive task for many reasons. This is due to the fact that a book has many key points in it and compressing them all into a certain time frame can be very arduous. Mark Forster’s adaptation of Khaled Hosseini’s novel the Kite Runner is a rather weak portrayal of what the author had originally wrote because of its bad casting choices, very significant and harmful cuts to the novel and scenes added throughout the film. Although the director’s intention to recreate a very touching story into a movie was a great idea, the author could have given more attention to some crucial and important aspects of the novel.…

    Born on the 4th of July

    There were countless small differences in the film as compared to the book, things such as shuffling the order in which chapters appeared in the film. For example, the beginning of the film took a different path than the beginning of the book. In the book the first chapter set the tone for the rest of the book, describing the firefight and all that had gone wrong, Burning into your mind the thought of Ron Kovic lying on the ground bleeding, paralyzed, screaming for help and hearing people get shot all around him. The beginning of the film is a different story all together. It gives you hope, it lulls you into believing that this is a happy story, the kind where everything always works out in the end. It is not until after the entire buildup of the character, after you feel as if you know him, that you see this scene. The accidental killing of the civilians, the baby, the killing of the corporal, all these things happen before you find out that this soldier, this Marine, will come home paralyzed.…

    The Kite Runner Book Vs Movie

    Books that prove to be best-sellers often times get made into a movie, but the film does not always stay true to the original piece of writing. There is always slight, and major, differences between the two works. Mark Forster’s adaption of Khaled Hosseini’s touching novel is, in my opinion, not as good as the book. In the transition stages, scenes must be altered to fit the entire story into a nice and timely package, but the movie lacked key factors that made the book so magnificent. The movie, The Kite Runner, was a poor book to movie adaption because it lacked key emotions felt by the characters, relationships within the story were not developed well, and important scenes were left out completely.…

    However, I found many aspects of the book were not included in the movie. Major events that strengthened and emphasized character relationships were left out. These events included Miss Maudie’s house burning down, where Boo Radley made a connection with Jem and Scout by putting a blanket on the shivering children whilst they watched the fire consume their neighbour’s house. The movie also left out the significant…
