To begin, the overall plot is almost completely altered. They are quite unique because of the setup; the book contains individual perspectives from people around the world, while the movie only focuses on Brad Pitt’s experiences. Another difference is the endings; the movie finds a solution, and the book just copes with the zombie problem. Although these two works share a title and some main ideas, it is obvious that the few similarities they have do not make them the same story.

You could see it like a wave, like a current of electricity. People started screaming, trying to push forward, back, into one another. Dozens were jumping into the water with heavy clothes and shoes that prevented them from …show more content…

Battle to the Death: Cinema Vs. Novel Some of the best movies are based on books. One movie based on a book is The Hunger Games. While the movie is entertaining, it is very different from the book.
The first one that I will address is that in the play the Van Daans are already in the Annex when the Franks arrive, but in the movie, the Franks are already in the Annex and had been there for a while when the Van Daans arrived.

The movie has similar characters, scenes, and same overall plot as the novel has, but also has many differences. The novel A Time to Kill later became a movie that had many similarities from the characters and scenes described in the novel, but many differences occur between important scenes and missing characters that did not make it into the movie. The movie A Time to Kill has the characters one would expect after reading the book because the description the book has of the major characters matches what is seen in the movie.

The plot of the story consisted of a humble farmer who was, along with his family and everyone else in Great Britain, were attacked by gargantuan flocks of birds.

The plot of the movie consisted of a wealthy city-slicker woman who was intrigued by a man and sought him out until she found him in his hometown two hours away, in a rural town named Bodega Bay.
No matter how hard directors and screenwriters try, it is impossible for any movie to be a perfect reflection of the detailed plot and intricate characters presented in a novel. I had watched the film adaption of Richard Matheson’s I Am Legend prior to reading the book, I was very aware of major differences from the get go. The to main categories that I could see differences being placed in were emotion and action. Many aspects of the book were changed to emphasize both either emotion or action for the film. Considering pieces of literature cannot be easily transferred to the screen, few of these changes were very necessary.
The most prominent similarity was the fact that Liesel still adored to steal and read books. Without this trait, this would be an entirely different book. The two most salient differences between the book and movie were the fact that Max Vandenburg didn’t give Liesel and books and that Death didn’t give any, or almost any, comments and narrations. Without these, there are noticeable differences between the film adaptation and book. All in all, I prefered the book better.
