Great Expectations Movie Vs Biddy

197 Words1 Page

Out of all the major changes from the book to the movie, the most noticeable was the number of characters that were in the book, but left out of the movie. One of those minor characters that was Biddy. Although Biddy was a great character to read, she was not really necessary in the movie. Her character never affected the story line in the book, so not adding her into the movie, although sad, was a good move on the director's part. If Biddy was added to the cast, it could have ruined the feel of the movie. In the movie Pip confided in Joe at the forge, befriended Herbert in London, had a love interest in Estella, and was the enemy of Orlick and Drummel. Adding Biddy to that list would cause the characters relationships to Pip to be repetitive.

    The most significant change from the book to the film was that in the movie they add a visual on Dally's robbery while in the book it really doesn’t explain this or give us a good visual on what happen, and this is significant because it can explain and give us a good visual on what had happen making us understand Dallys emotion after Johnny's death and it shows why he was chased by the cops and shot down. In the book, author S.E. Hinton doesn’t give us much of a description on the robbery possibly, taking away the emotion from Dally after the death of johnny. This makes it a little harder to understand the circumstances of Dally after or during the robbery. Francis Ford Coppola adds the robbery into the movie adding emotion and the mental pain that Dally was going

    The movie did seem to exclude some characters that were somewhat important, and change their personality. For instance, in the book Grandpa Will was yelling at the television and in the movie he was more of a fun-loving guy. The fact that the movie never says the angel of death, except for one time at the end, in the book when they say this it puts an emphasis on that this thing or person is very corrupt. Not to mention the fact the main character, Hannah or Chaya, is a different age in the two stories.
