While movies can get away with cheap jump scares in the place of tension, books typically cannot. So, they rely on a slow build of fear, which can be much more effective than a quick jump scare, if done right. When events take place, everything does not happen at once; the storyteller lets the suspense and tension rise, so readers grow anxious and afraid as they anticipate the next event. It is a pretty effective way of doing horror. Suspension of Disbelief is also a big factor.
So these were a few of the reason the movie adaption the book differ. Many fans of book series tend to find numerous inaccuracies within movie adaptations of famous novels and short stories, but these are because the director of a movie and the author of a book have different jobs, and many do these quite differently from others. It all depends on the differences between time periods and backgrounds. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow being a prime example of how these two
Eragon Deserves Justice “The greatest enemy is one that has nothing to lose.” This quote is one of the many notable ones in the book Eragon, written by Christopher Paolini. 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.
According to Johnson, every character, from the down-on-his-luck Shelly Levene to the top salesman Ricky Roma, is included in an emasculating occurrence. Many conclusions can be drawn about Mamet’s idea of masculinity. The scenes that were added and altered in the movie version of the play reinforce the idea that masculinity is not and cannot be accomplished through the techniques and principles of the characters in the play. In both the play and movie the character of George Aaronow encompasses what the other characters fear; that is not being a success.
This book was definitely a representation of what some teenagers may deal with and it discussed issues present in our society, but I personally found it to be clichéd, not very well rounded, with an underdeveloped plot and frustrating characters. There were multiple grammatical mistakes and sentences that did not make sense or did not run smoothly, whilst this was partly evidence of a lack of an experienced editor, it lowered my enjoyment throughout the entire novel. Even excusing the obvious mistakes, I still found the story line to be old and repetitive. Beginning with a ‘tough’ girl, troubles at home, then meeting a boy who helps her learn and grow as a person before they part ways and go to college, all whilst dealing with her father and getting him help. The final scene in which Hayley and Finn have one more night together is very clichéd, “
I had very high expectations for the movie because I thought reading the play was outstanding. This representation of Hamlet did not satisfy the great expectations that I had for the movie. I thought that the movie was rather boring while the play kept me on my toes the whole time. While reading the play, I wanted to know what was going to happen next, but while watching the movie, I did not really care to continue. I had huge expectations for the movie, but they were simply not met.
The movie by Roman Polanski doesn’t follow completely the movie setting. For example the duel between Macbeth and Macduff had a humorous side. The acting of the Actors was not the best and it could have possibly been better. Shakespeare introduced Macbeth as a hero, but on the film the acting from the actor John Finch (Macbeth) did not reflect this trait on his character.
In the book unwind, the author uses the main characters to break gender stereotypes/Norms. Connor specifically breaks stereotypes when he cares for and nurtures the storked baby that they found. He offers to hold it and watch over it while risa is gone. Another time a stereotype is broken is when risa saves connor from rowan when rowan is trying to kill connor on the plane. In contrast, Bo from Rash really reinforces gender stereotypes.
The exciting as well as renowned novel, The Hound of The Baskervilles, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle has its contrasts with the 2002 BBC feature. Many differences were made to the film version, including changes to the characters along with the pacing. The quick pacing had a dramatic negative effect on the film, because it made it harder to bond with characters, deleted important plot points, as well as took away from suspense. The fast pace of the movie made it harder to understand, moreover, it was harder to bond with the characters.
Why is The Hunger Games a notoriously bad movie-to-film adaption? When one claims that a film adaption of a movie isn’t good, they usually aren’t claiming the movie itself isn’t good—usually, the moviegoer is claiming that the adaption wasn’t good. Or rather, that the director made changes from print-to-screen that the viewer didn’t like. In the film adaptation of “1408,” the director made changes from the short story to add suspense, omit unnecessary details, and give Mike Enslin a rich emotional background.
Hatchet does a better job of telling the story. Hatchet has very descriptive and exciting words. Even though ‘A cry in the wild is a movie’, I think it could explain the movie better. Like have a more exciting,get you off the edge of the seat, kind of movie. For example,in the book i feel like the scences were shorter.
After Meg realizes the power she has over IT, love, her and her younger brother travel home back to their
A Climb into the Skin of Atticus The concept of tolerance is explored in Harper Lee’s novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus represents this theme, he always looks for ways to teach others proper morals and values. Atticus once said, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (39). This quote summarizes Atticus’ outlook towards people.
Ender’s Game Being a regular high school student, I shocked myself because the fact that I actually decided to read a book at home from class without being forced to should be breaking news on CNN. Ender Wiggin was an intelligent child specifically selected into the IF with the possibility of being the new commander of the third invasion of the buggers. Ender was on a different path as the other students, the adults of the school wanted a lot out of Ender, which brought tons of emotion out of Ender from the adults, Bonzo, Valentine, and especially Peter. The book was better than the movie even though the movie could show emotion through a screen I still think it was quite bland and there was more emotion and hardship represented in the book than the movie.
