Compare and Contrast The Hound of the Baskervilles Movie and Book

Normally, when a movie is made about a story in a book the two stories are not exactly the same. The movie is adjusted by adding small details or leaving out some parts in order to make the story more

The plot and the setting of book and movie are very similar. There was a lot of thins borrowed from the book, but there was a lot changed as well. The movie followed the plot of book very closely and portrayed the setting of the book very well. A lot of the dialogue was borrowed and spoken directly as it was in the book.

The book and the film were both simular, and yet different in many ways. An example would be, in the film, Ponyboy was walking to the drive-in and meeting Cherri and Marcia. Although in the book, Ponyboy began his journey by telling the readers about his experience about being jumped by the Socs and being threatened. The director probably had some options to pick from to leave out from the movie, and the director chosed this to leave out. Leaving out the part where Ponyboy was jumped was an effective move because without the experience Ponyboy was lost and helpless because he did not know what to do when he and Johnny got cornered in the park by Bob and other Socs.

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

Even though the novel and the movie are based on the same plot they have some differences throughout the story. In the book the timeline throughout the adventure is over years, but in the movie this is a adventure that does not take as near as long because they could not fit that all into the movie. The movie and novel also take places in different settings, the novel takes place in Oklahoma City but the movie takes place in Cleveland. There is also the death of Daito in the novel that never even took place in the movie. Even though a book and a movie have the same plot line it does not meant that they have to be completely the same.

The first difference I notice is in the book women are very disrespected with not having very many rights, while in the movie women are in the Mead Hall with the men partying not much in the kitchen like the book portrayed, that’s the very first thing I see. Also now in the book Beowulf rips Grendle’s arm off for his death but in the movie Beowulf grapples Grendel, who has a chain wrapped around his arm, pulling it loose. As Grendel is trying to flee Heorot, Beowulf slams the door on his arm, severing it. Also in the book Grendle’s mother goes to avenge them but in the movie his mother visits Beowulf as he is asleep with all the other villagers and she visits him in his dreams and awakens to see she has killed many men of the Herot. Also in the book the mother’s lair is guarded in the movie it’s deserted. After slaying Grendel's mother, Beowulf brings Hrunting, Grendel's head and the hilt from the giant's sword back to Heorot in the book where in the movie she brings the head to

Foremost, it is very recognizable that the overall flow of the story is same, but most of the plot events are not the same. Though, there were same events happening in both novel and the movie. For example, in both

I like the book better than the movie. I like the book better because I could decide what a scene would look like. For example, in the book, it describes True Son. It says, “The boy wore a brand-new calico hunting shirt. It covered the boy’s upper parts and halfway down his leggings. His hair was black and his face and arms brown as an Indian, but you couldn’t mistake the English cast of his features.” I could make up in my mind how I wanted True Son to look. In the movie, I saw what was on the screen, and couldn’t make the scene look how I wanted it

I thought for some time whether or not to type a paragraph for this last difference, because I was thinking there would not be many sentences in it. The last main difference, is that in the book, "Montag" is killed by a mechanical hound chasing him down, but since there were no mechanical hounds in the movie, that is not how it went down. In the movie, there is a helicopter chasing him down with a turret mounted on it. The men in the helicopter successfully kill "Montag", and a crime against society is

There are many similarities and differences between the movie and book versions of The Watsons Go To Birmingham. They help make the two worth reading and watching; nothing is left too predictable.

First, the novel includes details that the movie doesn’t include, resulting in a shorter time span in which the movie is presented. If one had a short attention span the movie has more of an advantage over the book, but many people like to enjoy books in a comfortable spot and receive all the details of the story. The movie excludes certain parts of the story, changing the story altogether. The novel contains a complete story and does not include extra scenes that were never told in the story about what the author wrote. Excluding certain parts of the story leads to missing

You will also find that the movie is preferred because of the use of details and display of emotion. There are numerous differences in the plot along with similarities in the plot. The movie and the book have various similarities, although the difference will show how the movie is greater. For example, in both the book and the movie Davie’s father died. However, in the movie his father was hit by a

He chases butterflies and studies the moor and it’s inhabitants. In the book mortimer is a very creepy person and studies humans and skulls. While in the film mortimer is a acts in a more serious manner while Stapleton is incredibly creepy, he asks would you have an objection to me running my finger along parietal fissure? Also he makes more points about Holmes’ skull (Attwood, The Hound of the Baskervilles). This ends up making Stapleton a very creepy character for the suspense of the movie. In the book Watson looks up to Holmes with great respect and takes his smallest compliments and appreciates them greatly. Holmes states with great pride, “It may be that you are not yourself luminous, but you are a conductor of light.” (Doyle 3). By saying this he means, Watson is such a fool that he makes Homles seem even smarter than he is. In the film, however, Watson stands up to Homles at the end when he saves Homles from drowning in the moor pit even though he got shot by stapleton (Attwood, The Hound of the Baskervilles). Also, when Watson finds out Holmes has been investigating the case after Holmes told him that Holmes had work to do in london, He was outraged. There is also other small details in the story that do not have a huge effect on the plot but still change it slightly. For example, Laura Lyon does not exist in the film, even though in the book

The Plot does not really have any differences in the movie from the book. The only real

In the prominent film Of Mice and Men, the director uses it to convey the even better piece of literature. Most of this motion picture is exactly how the book had been written. There are also some minor differences between the two, such as the type of film, the way the characters are portrayed, and a few others.
