Ther There Book Vs Movie
The text is better than the film, because in the text, more detail is given about what happens in the story, rather than watching a movie and having bits cropped out.
In the film, freak moves into the house next to max, and then there is just trouble coming up from lookism (Kevin) and relationship oppression (Max, as he is the son of a murderer). Mostly, it is just a plot and a sequence of events without much of a clear character arc.
In the book, freak (Kevin) still moves into the house next to Max, and a few social norms are not observed (in contrast to the movie, where the actors (voice & physical) would probably experience mild embarrassment from defying social norms), thus making it a funny story at times. Shortly after Kevin moves into the house next to Max, trouble crops up from oppression (as with in the movie), and in the book, the assailants weren’t as nervous to attack as the actors in the movie appeared to be. A character arc is more evident in the book, but the plot & timeline are still present.

It’s not worth the time to learn a simplistic version of something, as opposed to the full version of an article. To put this into context: homework isn’t fun if someone just gives you the answer, but it is more fun if they tell you how to get the answer, but not explicitly giving away the answer.
I think that the text is better than the film, as the text has more nuts & bolts, along with a highlighted character personality shift. In contrast, the film takes away your required thought to imagine things (the fun part of reading stories) by spooning it to you, and is more homogenous and esoteric (simplistic &

    A lot of parents want their kids to read the book then watch the movie. But why? If you read the book, you have an image in your head of what the character looks like, what their voices sound like, and what the scene looks like, and usually it is pretty good. But when you watch the movie, all those images get shattered.…

    My first reason is; the movie again had more visuals than the book. Expanding on this; the movie had more scenery to show the viewer where the story takes place. Additionally, the movie also showed the the time era it took place in through setting; this in turn gives the viewer a better idea of how to perceive the story in this aspect. Second the movie had the advantage of being able to show what was going on through setting. My first reason being the movie showed the position of the characters and their behavior; this in turn displayed the tension through setting. Moreover, the movie also showed the main character’s whereabouts better through visual transitions. Last but not least, the movie showed more setting changes than the book. The book could only tell the reader that there was a change in the setting; these are usually major changes; the movie could show the more subtle ones, adding to the quality of the experience. The movie also set the mood better than the book through setting changes or adjustments. Concluding this; I believe the movie expressed the setting better than the…

    The first noted difference between the movie and book is that and the novel, before the flashback while Gene is revisiting Devon he remarks that he wants to visit two places, the tree and the marble stairs. This is a fairly important scene and gets the reader interested through foreshadowing early on in the story but was left out of the film.…

    I felt that when I watched the film I felt more emotion. In a way I enjoy reading more because in your mind you can imagine whatever you want, but in a film, you see what the director sees. I still think that being able to view the film helps convey the emotions that each character feels simply by being able to watch them interact with one another. You seemed to get attached to each individual character.…

    The book was better than the movie on account of it had way more details, and it had more parts in it than the movie did. It is extremely time-consuming to fit an entire book in a less than two hour long movie, but authors and readers can produce a book as long as you want. Although the movie took a shorter time to watch than reading the book did, the readers can retrieve more from a book than they can retrieve from watching a movie. Even in movies that into feeling by the book scene for scene there is still less detail in the movie than there is in the book.…

    The main reason that the film is better and easier to accept is that it is more viewable then the book. The film makes the viewer able to see the characters and their relationships more clearly. In the film you can see when Golightly first meets Varjak, she is immediately attached to him and even calls him Fred, her brother who she loves very deeply and is in the army. Being able to see this connection in the film gives the viewer a distinct notion that, despite never seeing Varjak before, Golightly is very comfortable with him. However in the book this is less clear and the reader may not get that as quickly…

    The movie of the Lorax show the picture of the environment clearly, the motion of people in the scene, but in the book it only show less picture because the book only described or write about what you see in the movie. In the movie of the Lorax the picture and video of the time the once- ler was making money, the time he called for celebration and the little boy who he gave the one last truffula seed are being showed in the movie but in the book most of the picture show in the movie are missing in the book. When watching movie you can see and hear the detail, whereas when reading a book you imagine them, and create picture in your head. Movie show the name of the actor, the actress, the producer, and the screenplay writer whereas in the book you only read about the author and the producer. In the movie of the Lorax, the OnceLer was greedy and a business person who cut down forest truffula trees to make thneed, while the Lorax speak for the trees because the trees has no tongue. The book state all this feature, but the making of the movie combined both visual, acting, and music to enable the audience to understand the play.…
