Differences Between Stand By Me And The Goonies

The older boys are portrayed as the very typical teenage male, bad boy archetype. From the very start of the movie, the older boys are always smoking cigarettes (Stand By Me). This shows that the boys are supposed to be more of the rebellious, typical teenagers. In another scene, the boys drive around town smashing mailboxes (Reiner). When the boys do this, it demonstrates the idea that they are very rebellious teenagers.

The plot had some major differences as well as its similarities, for example, when Lydia was frightened by the lions and when Peter and Wendy "killed" their parents. The film did follow the same storyline and had the same plot but also had some slight differences here and there, for example ... In the story, George and Lydia found a wallet and a scarf in the nursery, but they found a purse in the movie. The children didn't land in the "space ship" and they didn't even mention the plastic carnival. There were no whining or jumping on couch's as referenced in the story when the kids heard the news about locking up the nursery, they just got mad and ran towards the nursery. When the Parents were supposedly chased by lions, Lydia wasn't crying, the story made it seem more dramatic than it appeared in the video. As well as Peter called George “George” in the movie instead of Father or Dad, this was not mentioned in the story, but it did show how he didn’t really think of George as his Dad. There were also a little foreshadowing at the end when George told Lydia to RIP “Rest in peace” then shortly after they

     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

In english are class read a book called The Outsiders, then we watched the movie and did wrote about what was different, these are a couple of the differences i found out. Darry Ponyboy's brother in the book and movie seems a whole lot meaner to Pony in the book. Early in the book Ponyboy gives descriptions about all of his friends and his two brothers, but in the movie their hairstyles are different. In the book and movie Ponyboy and his two friend Two Bit and Johnny go to a movie and in the book they were in an inside theater but the movie shows they were outside. Ponyboy had also said in the book there was no one there besides them and two other girls but there were a couple others there too. Johnny Ponyboy's friend is shorter than him in the movie but in the book Pony said he was the shortest.

Imagine living in a world without sound and everything is pitch black. Well, welcome to the amazing world of Helen Keller. Helen is a girl who grew up in Alabama who is blind, deaf, and mute. The astounding book The Miracle Worker by William Gibson captures her unbelievable story. The book that he wrote is in play form not original text, so there is a movie that comes with the novel. The Miracle Worker the movie was released in 2000. The film is directed by Nadia Tass, starring Alison Elliott as Annie Sullivan, who is Helen’s teacher and helps her out of her world, and also stars Hallie Kate as the Helen Keller. Even though the book and the movie have many similarities, they are different in their own way.

The Outsiders is a wonderful novel to read in the classroom because of its conflicts with one another. During this novel, the Curtis brothers realize that they are the only family they have left, and they make the best out of that. Throughout this novel, Darry, Soda, and Pony have changed dramatically throughout this

This Movie also shows viewers how to be good sports although they encounter with one of the higher class kids of their neighborhood of course Benny and his team win and celebrate their victory by going to the local carnival and end up doing the most stupid things any of them could think of. Other things i also liked about this movie is that they worked as a team and help each other when needed also how most of them still were friends when older. Things i don't like about the Movie is how they can be very hard headed when it came to getting Smalls Ball back Smalls says that instead of trying to sneak up on the beast maybe asking Mr.Mertle if he can get the ball back Squints tells Smalls that Mr.Mertle was one of the meanest old man ever, but that wasn't the case

While Holling needs space from his “man” of a father, Ponyboy is desperate for his parents to stay with him. The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt and The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton are two books that take place in the year 1967. The Wednesday Wars focuses on a boy names Holling Hoodhood living in Long Island with his business family and school troubles. Holling’s father owns a business, Hoodhood and Associates, and will do anything for that business. As Holling learns his father admires his business over his own son, he surprisingly grows relationships with classmates and teachers. Holling finds how similar life is to famous literature and you see him go from “no guts”, as his sister might say, to growing more than his own father. The

Some critics may say that the untidiness of scenes affects the comical nature of the film but, I think a

“The Goonies” is a movie I never really enjoyed. Although it wasn’t my favorite movie,

Out of both of these films the one I find that strays mostly from John Hughes other teenage films in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Sixteen Candles, I found to be fitting with the other films because it has a strong female lead, teen angst, and a major love story component. For example, Samantha and Jake at the end of the film kissing in the candle light. A dramatic end scene kiss has been depicted in Pretty in Pink as well. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off on the other hand, is something unlike any other John Hughes film. It is witty, and fast paced, not focusing on teen angst or romance in any aspect. There are no love triangles, or finding out whether two main characters will end up together. It takes another point of view from teenagers about being young and enjoying life before it catches up with you. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off also a strong theme of relationships with authority figures, which we only see in the other John Hughes film, The Breakfast Club. An example of this in the film is between Ferris and Mr. Rooney. There is constant conflict between them, one example is when Ferris has Cameron prank call Mr. Rooney’s office. This shows not only Ferris’ disrespect for authority, but Mr. Rooney’s disrespect for Ferris.

The drive-in and Bob’s death. Living in an abandoned church. The fire, hospital and the rumble. All are apart of the book and movie, The Outsiders. In it, a group of Greaser boys have a close bond. An unexpected night occurs and Johnny murders a Soc. Johnny and Pony run away and soon, along with Dally, they save children from a fire. Johnny’s doesn’t look good and he dies. Dally gets into some trouble and gets shot. There are many similarities and differences between the movie and book version of The Outsiders because of events in the movie, book, and both.

The movies that I am comparing are “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” and “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.” Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory was a 1971  film directed by Mel Stuart, and starred Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a 2005 musical fantasy film directed by Tim Burton and starred Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka. Both Movies are an adaptation of the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. In both movies, a young boy named Charlie Bucket wins a tour through the most magnificent chocolate factory in the world, led by the world's most unusual candy maker, Willy Wonka.
