The Glass Castle: Movie And Movie Comparison

The memoir, The Glass Castle written by Jeannette Walls has been converted into a movie in which was released on August 11, 2017. The movie also called The Glass Castle was written and directed Destin Daniel Cretton. In the movie Jeannette Walls was being played by Brie Larson, Rex by Woody Harrelson, and Rose Mary by Naomi Watts. My expectations were set high for the movie due to me having the background knowledge of the book and it's fine details. Therefore it did not meet my expectations as much as I wanted it to because some of the scenery descriptions given in the book and what the actors said in the film didn't correspond to the novel.
There are many ways in which both the novel and film can relate to one another but then have its own unique differences
Also with them being able to interpret and express their own feelings about how well or not the film was performed based upon how the novel was written. My expectations were impacted upon the relationship I had developed with the novel as how the article mentions, “ The relationship we have with the book is personal and special: the relationship we have with the movie is more distanced from that, more passive, and certainly less demanding of us”(Jenn4). This perfectly defines on how my expectations were set for the film because i had grown all these feelings in depth as i read along with the novel and so was expected the same when watching the film. I say that having the opportunity to show the student the film after reading the novel is a excellent idea as how the teacher can develop different activities to which the students can take their time to analyze their thoughts with the scenes shown and acted in the film to the novel. This can build so much comprehension to one and really be interesting to
