    colors or environments. The movie of “The Goblet of Fire‚” have some scenes that have been cut because the books contain around eight hundred pages. When I first watched the movie‚ I read that the producers were debating if they should have divided the movie into two parts due the book length. For this reason‚ a lot of print text was deleted in the movie; while other scenes were added to give the audience a deeper view of some scenes. One clear example that the movie was changed‚ is the scene when

    I like the book more than the movie. Audience reaction has to be taken into consideration in a way that books don’t have to. The audience‚ cannot‚ even for a moment‚ be confused as to who the "bad guy" is. Otherwise‚ you can have a teenage Scarface. "Moral Convenience" is what’s pissing you off. The HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones also does this. Good characters never "cross the line" where as bad guys say homophobic comments and express jealousy. This is the reason why fantasy-themed works

    In the book and movie of To Kill a Mockingbird‚ the lesson of keeping one’s head held high is experienced differently. The lesson is openly stated in both the novel and the movie. Atticus says to Scout after a fight with Cecil Jacobs to‚ “just hold your head high and keep those fists down” (Lee 76). Scout had fought Cecil because she believed Atticus would want her to stand up for him. Yet‚ Atticus tells her the opposite and wishes she would let all the rude talk go rather than fighting those who

    movies. We often watch more than one movie on this special night. Last year‚ we decided to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief‚ and Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters. My siblings and I had read and loved the books‚ written by Rick Riordan‚ so we thought‚ “How bad could it be? It would be amazing to see these incredible stories onscreen!” We were wrong. Every member of my family who had read the books agreed that this movie destroyed the intent of the original

    explains he is in fact Gatsby. However in the movie Gatsby being played by Leonardo DiCaprio it would give it away that he’s the man Nick has been waiting to meet so instead Gatsby over hears Nick say he hasn’t met the host and Gatsby turns around and says I’m Gatsby. One thing I did notice about DiCaprio playing Gatsby was he over used Gatsby saying “old sport” in the book he does say it a fair amount but not as much as he does in the film. In the book it seemed very much so that Jordan Baker and

    tries to recreate a book into a movie‚ it is really hard to stick to all of the details because most movies have a time limit. If a director were to make a movie the exact way a book was written‚ then the movie would be four to five hours long. Not a lot of people would complain about it‚ but there is a cost limit to the movie as well. So‚ concerning The Virgin Suicides book and movie‚ you can see that there will be a lot of alterations to the books details. Although the movie and book of The Virgin Suicides

    “The dominant spirit‚ however‚ that haunts this enchanted region‚ and seems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air‚ is the apparition of a figure on horseback without a head.” Although the movie Sleepy Hollow is based upon the book The Legend of Sleepy Hollow‚ there are also distinctions which allow each to tell their own tale. Washington Irving’s short story inspired Tim Burton’s film but did not limit it. The foundations of the two are much the same but their story lines unfold diversely

    Finch in the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. To Kill a Mockingbird is filled with lessons that a reader can take and apply to their own everyday lives.

    The Movie or the Book? Nicholas Sparks has written multiple novels that have evolved into movies‚ such as The Notebook‚ The Last Song‚ Dear John‚ Message in a Bottle‚ and A Walk to Remember. The movies previously mentioned are as equally good as the novels except for Dear John. To me‚ Dear John is one of the best books written by Nicholas Sparks‚ yet the movie is the worst. The plot is excellent‚ but it is poorly portrayed in the movie. Several literary elements are found in both the movie and the
