Hatchet Movie Vs Book Analysis

233 Words1 Page

I’ve always loved movies, but I’m not much of a book reader. Despite this, I read Hatchet for and it was...okay. It wasn’t the best but it was enjoyable to some extent. The movie, A Cry in the Wild, though was so cringe worthy that my distant, soon to be wife, or husband, cringed even though she, or he, probably didn’t see it. It was so bad that it was good, then bad again. But compared to the book? Well… Books are a media that try there hardest to appeal to the masses enjoyment by targeting the imagination and senses. This is a very hard goal to meet, so when a book does is exceptionally, it becomes very well respected and become something people of all ages could enjoy. Hatchet, although not being my favorite book, did these things

    I believe that the film “A Cry in the Wild” does a better job than the book Hatchet. I believe this because the film is more descriptive than the book because it shows when Brian is sticking a tree branch in a bear. In the book it says that the bear just roars at Brian. Another example is in the film, Brian eats maggots and worms, in the book he eats fish and eggs from turtles. Once in the movie, a bear comes after him.

    `Hatchet I think that the Hatchet book is more detailed than the movie A Cry In The Wild, because I can imagine things happening in my head and because I can understand what is happening. An example is when the plane crashed into the l-shaped lake. I can image that the engine broke down and then the plane fell like a roller coaster going down and landed in a lake with a big splash or boom. I can also imagine the porcupine coming into the shelter where Brian was sleeping and Brian trying to fight it off, then the quills getting shot into his leg.

    In my opinion think Hatchet does a better job of telling the story than A cry in the wild. I believe this because the narrator gives more details when he describe when Brian got into the plane. The narrator said Brian needed to build a raft. For example,the narrator said “ Brian build a raft “on page 159. In the movie it didn’t really show Brian building the raft.
