Most Dangerous Game Movie And Book Similarities
Most all movies that come off of books or all the books that come off of movies, have similarities and differences. Sometimes the plot or the stand out of the book is a lot different. In the book we read and the movie we watched there were a lot of differences.Therefore, the integrity of the story is affected by the many difference and similarities in the areas of initiating event characterization, and plot between the story and movie The Most Dangerous Game.

The plot of the movie was basically a love story, where the plot of the story was basically Zaroff's love for hunting. I think the the movie being a love story changed the whole purpose of the story or the plot because the movie really wasn’t about the killing it was the two of them

    I have recently watched a movie called High Noon and just read a short story called "The Most Dangerous Game." High Noon came out in theaters in 1952 and is about a Marshall who has four criminals who want revenge on him for putting one of them in jail. It has cowboys and gun fights in the Old West. "The Most Dangerous Game" came out in 1924 and is about hunting and the main character surviving all by himself. Both of these stories are very well told and partly have suspense. They might have a lot of similarities but they also have many differences in the two main characters, conflict, and the theme.…

    Authors use many literary elements, such as figurative language, to write out the theme of their stories. In the two short stories, “Cask of Amontillado” by Edgar Allan Poe and “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell, the themes are described by literary elements. “The Cask of Amontillado” is about a man trying to get revenge by tricking another man telling him about having expensive wine. “The Most Dangerous Game” is an eccentric short story about a General who lives on an island and hunts humans. The theme of irony delineate the themes for both of the short stories.…

    Rainsford awoke after the best night sleep of his life. It wasn’t just the fact that the bed was one of the comfiest he had ever slept in, or the fact he was exhausted after being hunted for three days, but the enormous relief he felt by beating the general at his own game. He spent most of his morning planning in his mind a payback for the general. It wasn't revenge, but Rainsford felt that the general needed reminding that the game he was playing was wrong. However, Rainsford felt certain uneasiness at the fact he had won the hunt, what extent would the general go to now to satisfy his hunting pleasures? Would he now try even more extremes in hunting? Rainsford shuddered as he thought of the things the general may do, but tried to shrug them off as he thought of a plan to payback the general, and it needed to be good.…

    The Road was both a phenomenal book and film. While reading The Road I was both intrigued and interested as to how Hollywood would portray this story, and after seeing the movie I was impressed with how closely the film followed the book. Though the book was enticing and unusual the movie quickly surpassed the book in my opinion. Though the movie followed the book closely, there were some differences such as the amount of flashbacks the father has, the illusion of hope, and the play out of certain events.…

    In the result of the transition of "The Most Dangerous Game" from literature to film, many aspects were altered. Though some are superficial, such as the appearance of "General Zaroff" and the movie's Count Zaroff, or the physical conditions of Ivan, others are quite noticeable. For example, concerning the introduction, the exchange between the short story's "Sanger Rainsford" and the film's Robert Rainsford and Whitney was altered to the extent that new characters were involved in it. The following scene, regarding the advent of Rainsford to Ship Trap Island, was modified heavily. It was adjusted to the degree that instead of having Rainsford falloff the ship and swimming to Ship Trap Island, his yacht was lured by Zaroff's lights, which were built specifically to lead to dangerous rocks. The ship sank and sharks, with the sole exception of Rainsford, ate everyone aboard. A final decision undertaken was concerned with the scene where Zaroff hunts Rainsford; it was remodeled to the inclusion of an extra character and a shorter time span to survive. Clearly, they're many differences between these two versions.…
