Both the film Gattaca (directed by Andrew Niccole) and the novel Brave New World (written by Aldous Huxley) are of the dystopian genre and explore the notions of mass control and freedom; or lack of freedom. Both societies are controlled by a totalitarian dictatorship that push their suppressive ideologies- genoism in Gattaca, and the complete eradication of viviparous births and the implementation of a caste system in Brave New World. Characters in both dystopian worlds challenge the rules and expectations of their societies. In Brave New World, Bernard Marx and John Savage rebel against the World State, albeit to different extents. In Gattaca, Vincent Freeman and Jerome ‘Eugene’ Morrow oppose their society ruled by genoism.
The novel, “Lord of the flies” by William Golding is based on a group of boys ages 6 to 12 who survived a plane crash, has no adult supervision and has to take care of themselves. Two documentaries called “Boys Alone” and “Girls Alone” are both similar and different to the novel. The two documentaries are similar to the novel because of the children’s behaviour and characteristics. But they’re both different in how the children handled their situation.
The book and the movie of "Huckleberry Finn" were both good, but there were many differences between the two versions. Some people think that Disney ruined the book because they added some things and cut some things out. Other people like the Disney movie better than the book. They think that it is more detailed and they like the way it is set up better, also they don't have to read they can just watch the movie. The three biggest differences between the book and the movie are that Tom Sawyer is not in the movie, Mary Jane saves Huck and Jim in the movie, and that the "N" word is not used in the movie like it is in the book.

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.
Fahrenheit 451 and The Lego Movie are very similar. So similar that they both appear to come from the same concept. One, of course, is running for the adults, and the other children, so the way they are presented and written differs greatly from each other. But they do generally teach the same lessons and review the same concepts even though the level of severity is very different.
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.
Looking at the surface of the films The Fox and the Hound and Monsters Inc, we probably would not see any similarities whatsoever. This is hardly the case once looking past the animated animals and monsters. The Fox and the Hound, which was released in 1981 by Disney, portrays a fox named Tod and a hound dog named Copper. Even though they grew up together, they are socially supposed to be enemies. They do overcome this stereotype at first as they become best friends and vow to forever. In the end of the film they stay friends, but end up living separate from each other. Each one living in the world that is socially acceptable to each animal. Similarity, Monster Inc., which was released in 2001 by Disney and
Is it inhumane to arrest and convict a person of terrible crimes, even if it is not yet committed, if it is certain that it will be? Utopia is an imaginary place in which everything is perfect; in comparison, dystopia is an imaginary state in which the condition of life is extremely bad as from deprivation, oppression, or terror. George Orwell’s 1984 (1949), is a novel based on life in a dystopian setting, with a totalitarian government centered on war and hatred. Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report (2002) is a film in a futuristic setting with a system which predicts future murders so that citizens live a homicide-free utopian life. Winston Smith is the main character in 1984. His rebelious views on his society and government cause his
It is common in today's media-driven society to reach into the past for inspiration and ideas. A trend has developed where original works are transformed into other mediums. For example: books are turned into movies and/or plays, movies are turned into weekly sitcoms, and cartoons will spawn empires (Disney). These things happen so often that an audience rarely stops to question the level of authenticity that remains after these conversions. Perhaps it is only when a project is not well received that people begin to think of the difficulties involved with changing a work's genre. Using Gulliver's Travels as an example, discrepancies and additions in the movie can be

The Odyssey, a historical epic, was the first written of its kind. Since then, many stories’ plots have focused on the characteristics that made it an epic, such as Finding Nemo. Although the Odyssey was written many years ago, Finding Nemo’s qualities are along the same lines. Both stories contain characters on a journey in search of something of significance. Monsters threaten the quest home, helpers assist the heroes on their journeys, the heroes are glorified in the end, and there is a strong relationship between a parent and their child. Some of these are more commonly found or recognized than others.
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee are extremely influential novels that can teach great lessons to teenagers and adults. One of The Outsider’s main themes is; everybody has different problems, but everybody is still the same. This theme is shown throughout the entire novel and explains it well. There are two different groups in the setting of The Outsiders, the socs and the greasers. The socs are the rich kids that drive nice cars and get into a lot of trouble without being punished by their parents, and the greasers are the less wealthy kids that fight with the socs and wear greased back hair and leather jackets. Both of these groups are completely different people, but they still live in the same city and see the same environment. As Ponyboy states “Maybe the two different worlds we lived in weren’t so different. We saw the same sunset” (Hinton).
Re-reading a kid's book as an adult makes you realize just how much simplified instruction goes into children's literature. Half of the book is about the clashes between Mowgli and Shere Khan and the Seeonee Wolf Pack (no jungle is free of conflict, Master Laws or no Master Laws). I can appreciate the ideas and artistry behind the White Seal story, and Toomai of the Elephants makes me think about the need for freedom mixed with responsibility - but I just don't like them as much as the great battle between Rikki Tikki Tavi and the pythons. Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book is nothing like the Disney movie we’ve all come to know and love. However, this isn’t a bad thing in the least. Whereas Disney’s The Jungle Book is centered on Mowgli, Kipling’s
In 1971, ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’ was released, based on Dahl’s novel, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’. In 2005, its remake was released, under the name ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.’ After watching and analysing both films, it is a popular opinion that the filmmakers responsible for creating the remake, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ have made use of story elements, including story progression, cause and effect, point of view, structuring of time, setting and characters more effectively to engage the audience more when compared to the original film, ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’.
