Compare And Contrast The Phantom Tollbooth

364 Words2 Pages

The Phantom Tollbooth is a story a published in 1961 that was remade into a 1970’s motion picture. Where in the story a boy named Milo thinks that everything is useless and never wants to do anything. Then one day a red and white striped present shows up in his room. He opens it and a few minutes later finds himself in a place called “the Lands Beyond”. Now because there are a book and a movie I have a favorite. My favorite being the book for many reasons. I prefer it because it has more details, many more characters and I also felt like the movie was everywhere. Meaning that it didn’t flow as smoothly as the book for the reason of the order. For example when I said that there where more details in the book it included the characters.

    Yes, Yes, No, No. Some people might argue that the book was better than the movie with more detail and goes more in-depth than the movie but this is not true. While the book has more details the movie only focuses on the main parts that will really change the story and the idea of Manzanar. Also, the movie shows the moments with more emotion and feel than the book. This gives the movie a more immersive feeling and this gives the viewer more understanding of the characters and feeling than any book

    The film version is a better representation of Chris McCandless’ story because when watching the movie there are dramatic parts and shots that show how much time and effort that went into the movie, it connects the viewer to the characters which shows what they're thinking about deep down inside, and it really shows the different challenges he had to go through.

    If they were to be rated on a scale of 1-10, the book would be about a 7.5 and the movie maybe a 5.5. The movie was not as intriguing as the book. The book catches ones attention by specifying what goes on very clearly and getting straight to the point, not providing any unnecessary information. Let´s just make this short, simple, and to the point, if you watched the movie you would probably not want to read the book since it did not catch enough of ones attention to be interested. On the other hand, if you read the book first and afterwards watch the movie you probably will not appreciate the movie as much as you did the

    For example, why does Willy Wonka act the way that he does? You see that answer in the Johnny Depp version, when they explore his childhood and he has flashbacks to his childhood; his father was a dentist who was not a fan of Charlie’s career choice and opposed children eating chocolate. Also, the Johnny Depp version is spot on to the book as if the book has come to life. It fits that void of the first one not being exactly like the book. Overall, both movies were good even though they had vast

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. Also, when you are reading the book, you get to read the main characters point of view on things.

    Have you ever watched a movie based on a book that told the exact same story? To me, for some reason, books always seem to be the better one out of the two. I feel that in novels, the author develops the story with as many details as possible, while in movies that aspect doesn’t appear in the same way. There aren’t as many details in films since it has to last for a certain amount of time, but books can last for as many pages as the author would like them to. When I read, the fascinating novel “Beowulf,” I really enjoyed how the author made me use my imagination to create a picture of the world that the characters were living in.
