Colorado At Overlook Hotel: Book Vs Movie

311 Words2 Pages

As a reader I prefer reading the book versus watching the movie, because the movie was missing pieces of the book. In the beginning of the novel Jack and his son Danny are closer to each other than in the movie .

Jack began off as crazy as soon as the film started so you don 't really see what got him there. He works at a hotel in Colorado he stays with his wife and his son , Shelley and Danny. Danny 's visions became stronger and stronger he saw more and more each day and it grew to be very disturbing. Jack finds out all the secrets behind the hotel and he starts to see it as a homicide maniac act for his own family. In the navel Jack and his family stayed in Colorado at Overlook Hotel also known as a haunted resort .

It seems like directors of the movie always leave out parts from the book, only incorporating the important parts from the story. Some also say that they prefer to leave the descriptions of things in the book up to their imagination.

It was effective because, you focused your summary to scenes in the book, to the movie, and exactly what the differences were.
