Compare And Contrast Maggie And Million Dollar Baby

For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.

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

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

As I sit here with my eyes closed, I imagine a tropical breeze. The warm wet air slides over my face. The humidity seems almost heavy enough to crush me. As I take a deep breath, the realization that this is no tropical air comes crashing in. Instead of the refreshing scent of the ocean, or tropical plants, the taste of salt from sweat and a smell of the human body fill my lungs. The daydream is over. A shrill whistle sounds and the voice of coach Chuck booms through out the room, breaking the peace that was comforting the pain in my shoulder and bringing me back to reality. I was not on some humid island paradise, but rather in the explosive atmosphere of the Hotchkiss High School wrestling room.

As well as the movie having some character differences, some of the scenes were either cut out or added. One of the major differences in the movie is that Candy never comes into the room when Lennie and Crooks are talking to each other. This is an important part in the novel because when Candy comes in, Crooks finds about their future plan wants to get in on the deal. Except this scene is cut short in the movie and Candy never shows up at Crooks’ house. Another important part that is changed in the movie is the ending. The movie never shows Lennie have the illusions of his Aunt Carla and the rabbits lecturing him while he is waiting by the pond. Also, is seems as though in the movie George doesn’t hesitate to shoot Lennie, and it is all over very quickly. Furthermore, the important scene when Slim tells George, “You hadda, George” (107), never happens in the movie, but instead it ends with an image coming from within George’s imagination, a memory of the many happy times that he and Lennie had shared. There are also some scenes that are added into the movie, but only because the novel is so short, they needed to add things to make the

Differences (stick with at least four)- Ponyboy has a good relationship with sodapop and gets along better with darry but still has a very good relationship with his brother. In the beginning of the book, Pony gets jumped by some Socs, but he doesn’t get cut with a knife. In the movie, they cut him. In the movie when ponyboy is talking to cherry he says how the sun on the south side and she says”good how bout the north.” In the book it's written west and east. Also in the movie johnny never got his first beating from the soc in the book he does. In the book it gave more detail and information in the movie it starts like in mid way of the book.

This is a date that is marked on everyone’s calendar: fans, wrestlers, and coaches. We talk about this match every year; it is a must win. In the center of this arena is a black and red wrestling mat in the shape of a square, around 12 meters long on each side. The bleachers are pulled out waiting to be filled by fans. But at the moment they are filled with famished men

Million Dollar Baby, Clint Eastwood’s latest movie as a director has been getting more and more positive reviews recently and it is even better than Mystic River. At first glance, the film looks like another boxing-movie cliché. However, Eastwood has succeeded in creating a compelling and moving story about the intricate world of human relationships, the price of success and the realization of dreams. The movie explores many different subject matters. Million Dollar Baby is about friendship and respect. It is about love and it is about dreams.

“Gran pulls the chair up next to my bed and starts combing through my hair with her fingers…you know, I went outside for a walk today and you’ll never guess what I saw. A crossbill. In Portland in February. Now, that’s unusual. I think it’s Glo.”(Page 177) Mia’s grandmother believes in angels and ghost, so for her it’s just a normal conversation. Mia’s best friend Kim their friendship meant more to Mia than anything. It is better shown in the book for detail, but when you watch it in the movie you have a better idea of the emotion and the feelings that Kim has towards Mia. “I sat down in a chair beside her. I feel so natural the way that Kim is talking to me like she always does.” (Page 67) I think that the book has its ways of making you feel like you are watching this from a window. Another example of detail between characters is

A poignant tale about the trials and tribulations of female boxing, Million Dollar Baby is a stand out film release in the year 2004 (Metacritic). The raw editing and emotions portrayed throughout the film work together to create a riveting story as viewers dive through different emotions alongside the characters. Through the use of precise lighting and camera angles, director Clint Eastwood and cinematographer Tom Stern reach beyond standard film techniques and bring the cinematography to life.

Walking toward the rink we could here the loud roar of the opposing crowds, chanting back and forth at each other. The arena was extremely cold, which made our muscles tighten up like a

"Let's get this over with." I stood in the middle of the arena, with my katana still in its scabbard and yawned. It was an official battle and to see this rare moment of one of the Kanzaki family fight many spectators had gathered, including teachers. The arena was like something you'd find in a Sci-Fi RPG game. It was an open stadium, the size of a football arena, but the floor was concrete, and there was no roof.

“What are these?” asked Sukie. “Tickets to the circus,” said her father. “Yippee!” shouted Sukie. “I love the circus, but why are there so many?” “Rolston, Colette, and Pistachio are coming to visit you this weekend, and we're all going together,” said her mother.

After reading and watching the film Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, the character Maggie seemed a bit different in both. Maggie admits to sleeping with Skipper in the play so they can feel closer with Brick, they made it seem like made “love” with Brick. But if you notice in the film version Maggie says that she did not have any type of relations with Skipper. In the film Maggie is the one that told Brick about his father’s illness, which in the play the doctor is the one that told Brick. Touching up on Brick and Maggie’s relationship, in the play you can sense Brick’s anger with Maggie is so unfair.
