As A Matter Of Opinion The Second Film Does A Better Job

The book and the movie of the Outsiders are two very different stories. The book has so much more detail then the movie. The movie is not the most detailed but it does get its point across. There are may similarities and also many differences between the two the book is by far more interesting and more detailed then the movie. I enjoyed the book a lot and the movies a lot but the movie was missing a lot.

     First off, the biggest difference is the time periods of each movie. The older movie was set in Early Renaissance times. The newer movie is set in the early ninety’s. Another difference is the use of special effects. In the

The original 1933 King Kong was created as a movie: to convey a story and entertain and audience. Peter Jackson’s 2005 remake took the foundation for King Kong and expanded upon it in almost every way in order to “make again” the amazement of the original for a modern audience. Audiences received the original King Kong very well. The stop motion sequences of Kong were amazing for their time and the movie grossed $90,000 in its opening weekend. In order to bank upon its success again sequels were made and then in 1976 a remake was made to improve upon the original. Paramount updated the movie to color, changed the story, and cast Jeff Bridges, a well-known actor of the time, as the lead. Although the movie received mixed reviews, it did

The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and

The novel of The Outsiders is better than the movie. The novel gives more vivid details than the movie does. Even though the movie shows actual image, the novel lets you have your own image of what’s going on. The movie did not show the part where Ponyboy was getting jump. That is where most of the conflicts started. It also didn’t show the part where they were at the court, which is a really important part in The Outsiders. The feeling and tension are more intense in the novel than it is in the movie. Over all, the movie is not better than the novel.

Both share the same plot, and there are very little differences between the two. These are a few of the differences that I was able to notice between the book and the movie. There are several others throughout the story, but they are all just as minute and in the end they have no effect on the outcome of the story. Overall, I was very impressed with the movie and it was very true to the book. I have seen my share of movies that were adaptations from books that did not do the book justice, but this one is almost exactly like the book, so it was very

The text After the First Death by Robert Cormier and the film V for Vendetta directed by James McTigue represent terrorism in ways that allow us as the audience to respond differently to each. The terrorists, V in V for Vendetta and Artkin in After the First Death both perform terrorising actions; however, I sympathise and correspond with V but consider the opposite for Artkin. V is seen as a revolutionary as he has a considerate and rational mind, he eradicates only those who commit immoral deeds to the society. In contrast, Artkin is presented as an emotionless killing machine able to murder without remorse. Thus, I feel hatred and fear towards Artkin, although both terrorists share similar motives. The terrorists are masked to hide their identities; however, we perceive them to have different ideas. Both terrorists use violence to present their ideas of anarchy, I understand V’s motive is to prevail justice for the people, therefore, deem his actions as necessary, whereas Artkin is willing to murder innocence to acquire freedom. After the First Death and V for Vendetta, both portray that terrorism has unseen motives and ideas, which make me as an audience question whether terrorism benefits or destroys the society.

Star Wars: A New Hope and The Outsiders are not as different as most might expect. The pair of stories feature many heroes throughout, focusing on Luke Skywalker and Ponyboy Curtis. Both of these stories were originally books, before being adapted into movies. The Hero’s Journey follows a narrative pattern that applies to nearly every story line there has ever been. The journey applies to both Star Wars: A New Hope and The Outsiders. The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton follows a young boy living in rural Oklahoma, who is part of a gang of teenagers called Greasers. Ponyboy and his friends are constantly up against the opposing social group, the Socials, creating conflict between the two groups. Star Wars: A New Hope, directed by George Lucas, is one of the most famous movies of all time, which centers in on an young adult that ends up on a journey to save Princess Leia and help the Rebellion fight off the Empire. Despite the contrasting genres of the stories, Luke Skywalker and Ponyboy Michael Curtis have a similar day-to-day life, have comparable aid from others, and face challenges that are very much alike.

Unlike the first, the boy actually lost his mother from a battle with cancer. This shows how different our world is today. It also shows his motivation behind his urge to dance and his movement against the council in the town. The second movie has the same script and outline as the first. The difference is the way the characters walk, talk, and act. They wear clothes that are more dated to our pop culture now. Also this movie is different in the fact that nowadays it would be very rare and very uncommon for a city to ban dancing. Have you seen Miley Cyrus lately? I mean she isn’t the first to do something crazy. In my opinion, this second movie is viewed and focused more along the lines of the love story between the boy and the rebellious girl. The film and the tunes were intertwined to create a pop-culture phenomenon unlike any we're likely to see anymore, outside of perhaps "Glee," simply because we consume entertainment so differently 27 years later (Lemire). I personally love the second one, but it wasn’t a big deal to everyone like the first was. I never even knew about it until it came on the television one day while I was bored watching TV. Our culture today is more worried and focused on other things. No one cares about old timey tales of little things that government or church kept us from doing. Everyone pretty much does what they want to.

The basic plots of these two movies are practically identical except for one crucial distinction, Willy Wonka. By giving Wonka an in depth backstory, in Burton’s rendition, it completely changes the theme of the films. Wonka, played by Johnny Depp, is haunted by his past from having a candy forbidding dentist as a father. This gives his character a deep seated aversion to any form of family. Through flashbacks and daydreams, Burton added another side to Wonka’s character. It showed his tortured soul which made the film more enjoyable for audiences of all ages. However the ending is considered far too dark for younger audiences, painting Willy Wonka as more of a villain than a hero. When Charlie finally makes it to the end of the tour instead of welcoming him and his family into the factory with open arms like the original film, Wonka is cold and tells Charlie to leave his family behind or give up all the riches in the world. Charlie, of course, chooses his family and Wonka is forced to re-examine his life and what really

One idea can influence the world, but how far can that idea go if it is spread by one person? Could an idea also present a reality better than the one humanity is accustomed to today? The 2015 film Tomorrowland attempts to reveal the answers to these questions in the real world as well as in an alternate dimension where humanity has a different outlook on the future.

When the Sun was A God and With Fire and Sword are two films directed by Jerzy Hoffman, respectively in 2003 and 1999. The films were based on the historical events, illustrating the common matters of individuals’ desire to overpower others with wealth, power, and control in order to take over the throne and land. Both films took place in different settings – Piast dynasty era and Khmelnytsky Uprising era – but they do share some similarities and differences. The reason for why I chose these two films to compare and contrast was due to the fact that they share certain aspects that set the films alike and apart from one another. The aspects are: greed, friendship, loyalty, women, and love.

     Choosing a movie, do you take notice to whether it is a Director’s cut, the original version, or simply grab the chosen movie and pop it in taking no notice of which version is in hand? Is there even a difference? Because a director’s cut is simply a version of a movie with various cuts made by the director’s choosing, if watching both versions of Ridley Scott’s, “Blade Runner,” the subtle differences in several of the scenes will become apparent, although the scene layout and plot remains the same throughout both versions.

Roald Dahl was a British author, who wrote short stories, poems and screenplays. His books have sold more than 250 million copies worldwide (www.roalddahl.com). His most famous book was the first Charlie and the Chocolate Factory book which was published in 1964. This book got a lot of negative feedback not based on the storyline, but based on certain characters in the book. This book focuses on "golden tickets" and there are only five, one of them being found by a character named Charlie, who happens to be poor. The owner, Willy Wonka leads the five winning children on a delightful and frequently dangerous journey of his factory and only one child wins the big prize which in this case, is his factory. However, within the factory there are workers called Oompa Loopmas, who are depicted as black Pygmy people from Africa (Dahl 73). In the film Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, in 1971, by Mel Stuart the Oompa Loompas are shown as dwarfs with orange skin. Last but not least in the 2005 film Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Tim Burton depicts the Oompa Loompas as brown skin people. Throughout all three different versions of the one story the depictions of the Oompa Loompas skin color changes, but the power dynamics between Willy Wonka, owner, and the Oompa Loompa stays the same and that confirms that they are slave workers especially within the 1964 book.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is an adaptation of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. The movie begins with the Bucket family and the other main character Charlie Bucket. Charlie is a very sweet young boy with a huge heart. The Bucket’s only form of income comes via Charlie’s dad. Mr. Bucket supports 2 sets of grandparents who are bedridden with a factory worker’s salary. Soon after the start of the film Mr. Bucket is laid off. At the same time the narrator discusses the ins and outs of Willy Wonka and uncovers the reason the factory was shut down due to espionage. Then after years of isolation Willy Wonka opens his factory for a competition where five children are invited via a golden ticket within the wrappers of his chocolate bars. Four tickets are found very quickly by Augustus, Veruca, Violet, and Mike. Charlie and his family are in love with the idea of Charlie being one of the select few to have a golden ticket and despite their financial predicament their dreams come true on their third Wonka chocolate bar. Being a former Wonka employee, Grandpa Joe accompanies Charlie throughout the tour of the factory. Along the way the movie unfolds and brings to light that Wonka is seemingly off and the factory is now running with odd employees such as Oompa-Loompas and squirrels. After a series exits by children due to a lack of respect for the facility Charlie and Grandpa Joe are the last remaining tour
