“Where the Red Fern grows,” is a book and a movie. The movie and the book has the same scenes but the movie is missing some details. The book has more narration than the movie. The book in my opinion feels like I am there. It draws me in more than the movie does.
I will be discussing the differences between the 1971 film “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” and the 2005 film “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. Both movies were based on the 1964 book by Roald Dahl, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. There are a lot of differences between these two films. First off, the 1971 movie stars Gene Wilder, who plays Willy Wonka as a seemingly regular yet strange adult, but showing sides of sarcasm and is very witty. I think most people liked his character and found him to be quite amusing. The movie itself is charming with good songs and pleasant characters. It has an overall childlike tone and is a lot less dark than the book. It tells the simple story of Charlie being poor, looking for and finding the golden ticket, and ultimately winning the prize with his honesty.
Have you ever rode in a car for more than 24 hours? The plot in the book of “Watson’s Go To Birmingham”, is about a family going on a trip to Birmingham in 1963 and experience an event that makes them see how wrong color in the south are treated. The plot in the movie is more about how colored had been fighting for their rights and all the event leading up to everyone becoming equal. In “Watson’s Go To Birmingham”, lots of events changed the plot like the movie is focused mainly on Civil Rights while the book isn 't, but Joey leaves the church before it blows up in both, so there are some similarities.
The most significant change from the book to the film was that in the book Dally was shot and died before he hit the ground while in the movie he looks up at Pony still alive and says his name, and this is significant because it adds more emotion to the scene causing Pony to be more upset with what all has happened. In the book, Johnny had just did and since Dally was like a big brother to johnny, he couldn't take it. He ran out of the hospital without a word. Later on he calls Darry from a payphone explaining that he was running from the cops for attempted robbery of a grocery store and was heading for the park. When he was after a while, the cops shot him under a street light and was dead before he hit the ground. In the film, Johnny dies and Dally runs out
In the book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, Ponyboy Curtis, a member of a gang called the “greasers” is leaving the movie theater when a group of Socs, short for social, jumps him and Two-Bit along with Johnny while walking Cherry and Marcia home. The two girls agreed to go with them if they don’t fight. Ponyboy and Johnny get to the lot and fall asleep, and don’t wake until 2 o’clock in the morning. When Ponyboy gets home his brothers, Sodapop and Darry, are very worried. Darry and Pony get in a fight and Soda tries to stand up for Pony, but Darry doesn’t like it. Darry slaps Ponyboy, and after soon regrets it because Pony runs out and tells Johnny that they’re running away. Once they get to where they want to go the same Socs that tried to jump them earlier go at them again, and Johnny kills one, Pony and
The Great Gatsby, written by F. Scott Fitzgerald, in 1925 is a well-known novel for its time. After becoming a popular book, it later became a movie in 1974. While the book and movie have many similarities, it also has quite a few differences. Three differences between the book and movie of The Great Gatsby are details, sexual preference of the narrator Nick, and the age of Tom and Daisy’s daughter.
My favorite quote was“Stay gold Ponyboy” which means Do not go tuff and stay like yourself because you are once in a lifetime.My opinion of both the movie and the book are pretty good.The book was only a little better because it was longer and it had more parts on the other hand the movie you can hear and see more and feel more when you can actually picture it.While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the Movie was more effective in telling the story.
I think the movie version is better than the book. The reason for this is because the movie has a lot more character than the book does. You get to see what the characters look like, while the book doesn’t give a good description of the people in the book at all. You can feel the mood better in the movie because of all of the extra things, like the lightning and fog, to capture the mood.
"When Andy came to Shawshank in 1948, he was thirty years old. He was a short neat little man with sandy hair and small, clever hands. He wore gold rimmed spectacles..."(King 3). These words would help make Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption a beloved story to many ever since Stephen King's novel was released in 1982. It is a story of two men and their friendship over the years in prison, and how the burden of isolation and power of hope affects both them and all prisoners. This is a movie that is an unflinching look at prison life and all the burdens prisoners must go through every day. The story would later be adapted for the big screen in 1994, shortening the name to The Shawshank Redemption, would be nominated for seven Oscars, and
A commonality shared with almost all movies that are based off a book or comic, is the comment “ the book is always better” this stems from the feelings of disappointment that many feel when the movie doesn 't get something exactly right. This is because, the movie and the book are drastically different, mostly because of the different time period and background of the author and the director. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and its movie adaptation are an example of the differences
The Crucible was originally made as a old english play, over the years it has been changed many ways. It has been performed many times, it has been made into a movie, and lots more. Every time it gets remade it 's never the same as the original. The script, characters, places, objects, and everything else that you can think of has been changed through the years that The Crucible has been out. The small changes can have huge impacts on how the story is told. If a character has a different facial expression then the audience is going to get a completely different feel towards the story. If a character says there line differently then a reaction would be different. The time era of the story being told can change how the play is told, if you take The Crucible and turned in from a mid-century
In the book of The Devil’s Arithmetic and in the movie by the same name, there is one central theme. The saddening theme of remembering what the past is for the Jews and what they struggled with. In the time period these historical fiction stories took place, the Holocaust was just beginning. This was a very dark time for all Jews. Today Jews still face prejudice, in almost every single country. These stories are here to help us remember. Even if there is this depressing tale with this emotionally scarring theme, there will always be differences in the ways a story is told.

“Now, now, wait a minute. Hold on. Don’t be rash. Let’s talk this over! Good-by, Braling. Braling stiffened. What do you mean ‘good-by’?” Marionettes incorporated is a short tale in the Illustrated Man written and published in 1948. This story was also the topic of his first episode of his Ray Bradbury Theater. The novel and motion picture have similar concepts and characters. Comparing the movie to the book, the reader realizes that many scenes were added to the television episode. Although the book and movie were alike in some ways, the book was less complicated and easier to understand. In my opinion, the movie differences were most likely due to the adaptation of the story to television. Ray Bradbury Published and presented an intriguing
