The 1977 version of “A Christmas Carol” by BBC is a very accurate rendition of the book it was based on by Charles Dickens written in 1843. This movie comes with its strengths and weaknesses‚ most of its weaknesses coming from the quality of the film production and the movie’s strengths coming from it’s striking resemblance to the earlier made novel. The short movie mirrored the book in so many ways that only really small details were left out such as Scrooge going to the tavern to get his dinner

O Pioneer’s was a good movie‚ but an even better book. The movie did a good job at getting the point of the story line across‚ but not so much with the character development. I actually finished the book after watching the whole movie so I knew what to expect. I anticipated everything that was going to happen because I wanted to know if it would be the same as the movie. While the plot did not change‚ there were many things that the movie ceased to explain. For explain‚ I would have liked to know

think it is a great movie for this era‚ I had a hard time relating to the film. The advancements in film have made it hard to go back to older movies; things like digital effects and color have really made older movies seem like ancient history. The characters seemed over dramatized and unrealistic. The plot did not stick to the book and seemed to change some of the symbolism the Buck used. The book was much better then the movie and the movie did not do the book justice. The book is a good representation

The movie adaptation of The Great Gatsby maintained true to the original book by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Although mostly everything seems to stay the same‚ some movie scenes differ. Nick’s character is tweaked and Gatsby’s parties are not the same. The movie also creates more false hope than the novel does. Nick Carraway is the first character introduced into the book and movie‚ but in a different aspect. F. Scott Fitzgerald introduces Nick right away as the narrator. He is giving a monologue about

While having the option to read the novel‚ The Cay or watch the movie‚ The Cay I would rather read the book. I believe the book‚ by Theodore Taylor‚ is better because of the fact that there is far more details of the adventure that Phillip and Timothy had in the book than in the movie‚ produced by Walter Seltzer. I also can see in the movie that there is a very low budget for the movie. I also believe that the fact that you can read Philip’s mind it makes that story that much better and shows how

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.

One clear example that the movie was changed‚ is the scene when
