A Christmas Carol Movie Vs Book

Both the book and DVD are similar and different in many ways. One way that the movie and book of “A Christmas Carol” are similar is most of the sequence of events. In both the book and DVD it starts out by introducing the characters and then starting the plot of the story. Another way that they are similar is that they both involve a man named Ebenezer Scrooge as the main character. Scrooge is the main person who in both the movie and book, is in most of the events. The last way that they are similar is that they both involve three spirits that come and take Ebenezer on adventures into the past, present and future.

After reading The Giver I had high expectations for the movie to be just like the book. I was hoping that the ending would be better explained. . Don't get me wrong, Lois Lowry did an amazing job, I just feel that the ending happened too quickly and it was not detailed enough. Concerned with the ending of her book I thought that watching Phillip Noyce movie The Giver would clearly thing up. I was obviously wrong, it was too serious, I mean for the most parts it was OK, but the book was a little more chill. Another thing that bothered me was the chief elder, she only appeared in the book like twice, but in the movie she was like in every other scene. Really it was like they were trying to put her everywhere and make her like one of the main

I felt that the movie of “A Christmas Carol” was very well performed and presented and that is why I believe the film version was better. Although the film version and the written version were very much alike they also were different. The film version was a lot differently set up and had a higher effect on the viewer than the written version. The film and the written version of “A Christmas Carol” were very much alike, but had some differences.

Some similarities are, one, the characters are the same. Winnie foster,in the movie and the book still kept her same name, her feelings about wanting to leave. In the book on page 13 it says , “Winnie Foster sat on the bristly grass just outside the fence” showing that her name is the same. Another similarity is, Mae Tuck hits the man in the yellow over the head with the rifle. In the movie it shows Mae Tuck hitting the man in the yellow suit

If “A Christmas Carol” by Charles Dickens and the movie inspired by the book, “A Christmas Carol” by Jim Carrey can be different, but the same plot, then imagine how many other movies inspired by books out there that are the same way! Though both forms of literature are based off of the same plot, they do have their fair share of differences and similarities like any other adaption to a book. Even if it’s the slightest bit changed, it still will stick out like a sore thumb! It’s crazy how similar and different the book and movie can be at the same

There are five similarities that stand out in both the book and the movie. First, Jack Skellington, protagonist in both media portrayals, complains about how linear and boring his world feels. Additionally, the scene where Jack shows his intriguing discoveries from a place called Christmas Town, is seen in both the book and movie. Also seen in

Characters in the book and movie are mostly the same to each other. For example, Mildred/Linda and Clarisse are almost exactly the same to their character in the movie and book. Clarisse is still curious and imaginative while, Mildred/Linda is still shallow. In the

There are many of the same people like Turtle, Angela, Grace, Hoo, Otis Amber, and Berthe Erica Crow. Also the money is both in the 2’s of millions like 20 and 200. Mr. Hoo still owns a Chinese restaurant that does very poorly. Also Berthe Erica Crow is still partnered with Otis Amber, and they still own the Good Salvation Soup Kitchen. As always Turtle still wins the Westing Game. That’s just a small list of what the similarities are between the book and movie.

The biggest similarity between the book, and the movie is the theme. The theme in both the book, and the

One difference in the movie was that the Ghost of Christmas yet to come has a hand of skin. Not a hand without skin that was wrote in the book. I think that this makes a difference though because it doesn't show a big impact on the story. I think Charles Dickens put the skinless hand in his story to give his story a "chill-factor". I don't think that the director of the movie version of A Christmas Carol thought that it was a big deal or a big impact to the rest of the story. Another difference between book and movie is that Scrooge doesn't go to church at the end of the story. I think it makes a big difference though, because it shows how much Scrooge has changed since the three spirits came to visit him. It shows a before and after effect which I think made a big impact on the story. The last significant change between the book and the movie is that when Scrooge follows the Ghost of Christmas yet to come, he ends up falling into his grave. This is significant because Scrooge gets to meet the old Scrooge and gives him a slap in the face of reality of what's going to happen if things don't change. It's ironic too because it's the new Scrooge that wakes up on the bed in the morning.

There are several similarities between the books A Christmas Carol and Charles Dickens and the Street Children of London. One similarity is that Charles Dickens and his wife, Catherine Hogarth, grew apart from each other and decided to separate (Warren 131). In A Christmas Carol, Scrooge’s fiancee leaves him and says, “An idol has displaced me, a golden one,” (Dickens 49). She thinks that money has replaced her spot in Scrooge’s heart. Both Charles and Scrooge had their loved ones leave them. Another similarity is that Charles and Scrooge were both very careful with their money. Because of

“Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.”( Erich Fromm) In the story, A Christmas Carol, By Charles Dickens. The main character is a greedy man named Ebenezer Scrooge who has no Christmas spirit. Scrooge starts off in the story with no joy in his life. He is then visited by the ghost of his former coworker, who says that the Scrooge will be visited by three spirits who show him the past, present, and the future. There are many similarities between the drama and the movie.

The book A Christmas Carol is a well known book. It is a book written by Charles Dickens. This 1843 book, shows a remarkable journey of Scrooge, a cold hearted banker getting haunted by his old deceased business partner and other ghosts to make him a better person. In 1969 Animated A Christmas Carol was made. The two have many similarities and differences. There are many similarities/differences between A Christmas Carol and a 1969 Animated Film A Christmas Carol from Charles Dickens, which are Marley the Ghost, the ghost’s characteristics, also the Christmas day events.

Film is like a butterfly. It evolves and changes with time. The characters, plot, and setting can all change with how the director wants the audience to view it. Most remakes or reboots are successful, however, some do poorly. For it to be successful, it needs re-imagining, reconceptualization, new character names, plot elements, themes, setting, and story lines. “The Girl with All the Gifts” is a book that was successfully adapted to a movie. The movie, Chronicle, would be a gripping choice to reboot.

The movie was the same as the book at some points. One of the points that were the same was that the fact that there was 4 ghosts and that Marley was first seen on his door knocker, this shows that they payed good attention to detail. When the 3rd ghost took scrooge to the first place it was at the house that his worker lived and represented what the story said completely. The reaction of scrooge when he saw his name on the grave he started weeping of sadness, sorrow and grief. This is how the movie and the book are the same.
