Watching a movie based on a book and actually reading the book can be a rather similar experience or not. The Outsiders by S.E Hinton was published sixteen years before Francis Ford Coppola turned the book into a movie. After reading the book and watching the movie, there are obvious similarities and differences between the two as characters, plot, and details are compared. Cherry and Marcia are both Socs. Hinton describes them as “… tuff looking girls – dressed sharp and really good-looking. They looked about sixteen or seventeen. One had short dark hair and the other had long red hair.” In the movie their characters were well cast because they fit the description in the book. By looking at them in the movie it was easy to …show more content…
I got this feeling because of his eyes, in the book it had a symbolic meaning. The symbolic meaning in the book was that his eyes were cold blue and icy, it lost that meaning in the movie.
Additionally, plot relationships differed between the book and movie. For example, the relationship between Soda and Sandy was very different in the movie. In the movie, Sandy is barely mentioned, and nothing is known about Sandy going to Florida and her reason for going. This has both an effect on the plot and understanding the relationship between Soda and Sandy. Coppola does not develop these characters in the movie as well as Hinton does in the book. Overall, director Francis Ford Coppola did a great job of selecting actors to play the roles. Coppola’s pick of C.Thomas Howell, as Ponyboy was a very good pick because I imaged Pony the exact same as it was described in the book. Also, I liked the flow of the movie and the fact that it was very similar to the book. Coppola set up the scenes beforehand and made sure that the scenes closely depicted the action in the book. For example, he made sure that the actors that were playing the Socs, they had all the best clothing. For the greacers, they only had sweat pants. This made the actors almost feel like they were back at that time and I think this made the movie a 100% better than it could’ve been. All in all, when reading a book and then watching the
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 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.
The book and movie are completely different. It 's like comparing apples and oranges. (I 'm assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce). The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book, but he is never a large character.
The novel and the movie were both very suspenseful. The main characters are both the same in the book and in the movie but are a little bit different then their counter partners in the novel/movie. In both the movie and
Did you know that S.E. Hinton’s first royalty check was only worth ten dollars? Although, The Outsiders did not get popular very quickly, it was eventually made into a major motion picture and is now a best-seller. The Outsiders the movie and book are both great works, but the book provided more detail and was just way better. Therefore, this paper will compare the similarities and discrepancies between the book and movie. Ultimately, the goal of this essay is to provide evidence that the movie was quite different than the book.
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.
There is so much realism in The Outsiders that is why this book is so appealing to the younger generation. Kids like to
Both the novel and the film share indistinguishable qualities.

The most significant change from book to the film was the book was not going in depth on the character soda-Pop while in the movie They didn't mention anything about his inside life, and it adds more conflict and drama to the movie,They only mention Sandy a little bit so if they brought up her baby it wouldn't make much sense.
