Delysia Movie Analysis

643 Words3 Pages

Ms. Pettigrew seemed to fit the role well, except for I thought she would be dressed a little more properly. She also seems a lot older in the film. I get the mother/daughter relationship between Delysia and Ms. Pettigrew more in the movie than I did in the book. I thought Nick physically fit the character in the book, but I imagined him more violent in the book. Michael was good representation other than the fact that I thought he was more violent than Nick was. I also thought that Michael had more money. In the book it said he had plenty of money, but in the movie he made it sound like he was living off of dimes. Phil was a lot younger than I thought he seemed to be in the book. I pictured him as a middle aged producer, not the son of a producer.

Delysia knows that Nick is not good for her and that she needs to end things with him. But, she sees him as a hypnotizing snake, and has a hard time seeing past his charm and money. It seems as though all Nick has to do is kiss her and Delysia will fall back into his trap. I think there is a great deal of platonic love between Delysia and Ms. Pettigrew, as their relationship progresses throughout the story you can see that Guinevere goes from being a quick thinking stranger, to a true friend of Delysia. For a brief moment you can see the love that Joe has for Guinevere. He compliments her, and makes her feel welcome at the party. He is able to look past her physical appearance and see her true personality.
There were a few things left out from the book. We did not see the scene when nick brought in the flowers for Delysia. Nick’s violence and rudeness wasn’t expressed as much as I thought it would be. I also think the friendship between Edythe and Guinevere is almost completely absent. Although Edythe is kind enough to give Guinevere some confidence with a new wardrobe, her soul purpose is to use her to get back with

    The late 19th century consisted of rigid work hours for children, the growth of strikes, and the use of yellow journalism. It was a challenging time for anyone below the upper class to live in. This is demonstrated throughout Newsies, a Broadway Musical displaying the challenges from this time period. Child labor, a major part of the movie, was the way of life and consisted of young children doing hard work as a vital part of the nation’s economy and income of families of the time. Another part of the movie, strikes, were the people’s way of refusing to work as a result of not getting their desires.

  • Carrie Film Analysis

    Introduction The film Carrie (Brian De Palma, 1976) follows the protagonist Carrie White, Sissy Spacek, who is a shy high school student residing in a small town. After receiving her first period, she acquires telekinetic powers, which turns her world around; especially since she did not understand what the change meant for her as a new woman. Although Carrie is a horror film, the underlying meaning points to feminism as it embarks on the discovery of power, and threatening the patriarchal order. Carrie is a feminist film where fear comes not in blood or telekinesis, but the fears of a strong woman.

    The main character has many differences. Book Percy Jackson and movie Percy Jackson differ in their ages, in the book Percy is 12 however, in the movie he is 16. Another character, Annebeth, is similar to Percy in the aspect that she is supposed to be 12 and not 16 like how the movie portrays her. Also, she is supposed to have blond hair and gray eyes, whereas in the movie she has brown hair and brown eyes. Emotionally, Annabeth is more of a stereotypical girl in a movie (not wanting to like the hero and trying to be commanding, but ultimately making her look bossy), however, in the book she is not bossy but smart.

    Nick Carraway’s passive nature leads to the many mishaps in the novel, which stresses the idea that not being evil does not necessarily make someone a good person. “I’m inclined to reserve all judgements” (1) Nick states at the beginning of the novel, which instantly sets up his passivity. His passiveness sparks complications early on, such as when Tom takes Nick to meet Myrtle in secret. Nick tags along because he “had nothing better to do” (24) and seems to have little qualms about the fact that Tom is cheating on Daisy openly. As Daisy’s cousin, it is expected that he stands against Tom’s infidelity.

The book was published in 2001, followed by the movie in 2006. The book is well written for the age of the author, but the movie is horribly adapted and barely follows the bare bones of the storyline given in the book itself.
