Underworld and Blade Movie Compare and contrast Essay
Compare and contrast Essay

Blade and Underworld are two movies that are the same but also very different. They are both vampire themed but can be proved to be very different based on plot. Blade is a movie trilogy that is about a half human half vampire whose name is blade and he tries to go against the vampires to save the humans. Underworld an ongoing movie series and currently has four movies out currently and on its fifth. This series is about how Lycans( werewolves) and vampires having a war and due to this humans start to notice this and starts trying to eradicate both species.
Blade ‘day walker’ has the benefits of the humans with walking in the day and the strength of a vampire but the thirst of one too. He is out to help save humanity because the vampire race wants to farm humans for food. Then the vampires find and revive Dracula the first vampire but this makes a new vampire strain to come about and makes it harder to kill. The series ends with blade killing Dracula. Comparatively, Underworld is also about vampires too with Selene being the heroine but, contrastingly, going after the descendant of the original bloodline of the first Lycan and vampire. Trying to find him causes an all-out war to get him. Once found he then gets bit by a Lycan and a vampire becoming a hybrid. Him and Selene fall for each other and end up defeating all of the Lycan and vampire powerful ones including the original. They get caught by the humans in the last one with their daughter who is a hybrid as well.
Other than the vampire theme of each movie their plot can be seen as to be very different entirely. Blade is entirely about vampires compared to Underworld which was about vampires and Lycans. Furthermore, similarly both main characters are vampires though they are not the same; blade is a half vampire, half human vs. Selene is full vampire.

    Essay Comparing 'Blade Runner And Slaughterhouse Five'

    Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner and Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five are two works that at first glance appear to offer no similarities. Slaughterhouse Five is an anti-war novel written about the Dresden bombings in World War II, whereas Blade Runner stands as an American science fiction film written in the early 80’s depicting the “cyberpunk” view of life in Los Angeles in 2019. The two settings are completely spread apart and offer no reference to the other. In addition to the diversity of setting is the gap in plot and format of the two works. However, the work of Scott and Vonnegut offer a mutual connection to answering a strong, age old question of the human mind and the value of human life. The main focus of this essay will be to…

In the book Meg has glasses and braces and in the 2003 movie she does not have glasses and braces in the beginning of the book it was a stormy and dark night and in the movie it started at the school and later on in the movie it took place in and dark and storming night.

    Another stark difference within the movie is how Caroline dies. In the novel, Caroline dies of scarlet fever after nursing her beloved Elizabeth back to health. In the movie, Caroline dies while she is giving birth to Victor's little brother, William. In the novel, when Victor goes to school in Ingolstadt, he is never visited by Elizabeth. Instead he is isolated from his friends and family for close to six years. The movie really seems to dampen the theme of isolationism by showing Elizabeth and Henry Clerval visiting Victor in Ingolstadt. After the monster is created, Victor falls ill. In the novel, only Clerval arrives in Germany to nurse Victor…

    Compare And Contrast Dracula And Twilight Essay

    Since the eighteen century, vampire stories have played a strong role of popularity in literature and cinematic environments. The continuous changes of vampires have taken the vampire legend from something feared to something desired. Between Dracula and Twilight it has been over a hundred years. These two novels are a great example of vampire’s evolution. However, both novels have elements of narrative device, they are both written from multiple perspectives, and both were turned into a film. Although Twilight and Dracula are pieces of literature that share a vampire story, there are three important differences that characterize each one.…

    Vampires And Werewolves Similarities

    Vampires and Werewolves also have many similarities. They can communicate through telepathy, however, only vampires can speak to different species in the animal kingdom. They both possess the ability to regenerate their physical tissues and are considered to be immortal. Fangs are another similarity. They use them to eat and or drink blood. Neither of these creatures age or die unless killed in the same method. There are useful techniques to ward off vampires but not werewolves. They must be killed by decapitation, however, there are specific steps to kill a vampire as I mentioned above, the body must be burned. So even though these guys are a lot alike, it is crucial to know the differences as well. You wouldn’t want to lose your life over a technicality would you? Just kidding, happy Halloween…

    The Odyssey vs the Lord of the Rings

    The Odyssey vs the Lord of the Rings

    One thing I noticed was the use of several different themes included in both stories. In the Lord of the Rings the inhabitants of Middle Earth join to save themselves from enslavement. Centuries before, a ring was forged putting much power into control of who had it. Some men fell into that power, but an alliance of men and elves defeated it. The Ring was cut from Sauron hand. Sauron was a antagonist character who was pursuing the power by wearing the ring. After being cut from Saurons hand, the ring should have been destroyed, but a human prince, Isildur, took it. Isildur was slain, and the Ring fell into a river. Myth also played a part in The Lord of the Rings, the sense of transience and lost grandeur that pervades The Lord of the Rings goes, in part, with the territory in which Tolkien is wading. He writes the novel in a mythic mode, and one of the conventions of myth is that it describes a past that is more glorious than the present. This sense of loss certainly is present in the Greek myths, for example, or in Homer’s epic poems that draw on these myths—both of which describe a world in which men and gods mix freely, a world that is no more. Tolkien’s own work is something between mythology and fiction, locating itself in a middle ground between a past that is remembered only in song and the everyday present of the reader. This sense of ancientness is constantly present, brought to life in chants, poems, and graven inscriptions. As Tolkien shows again and again—whether with the Elves or with the Númenóreans or the Dwarves—the stories that the characters tell define them. In…
