Differences Between The Hobbit Book And Movie

“Saruman believes it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay.” Gandalf claims in the quote above from The Hobbit that great power isn’t always necessary to accomplish great feats. If ordinary people can work as a team, the outcome can defeat an individual with great power. Bilbo and the dwarves assisted each other, and got help from other sources in order to accomplish their goal and grow as characters. This teamwork and growth is shown throughout the scenes of Rivendell, Mirkwood, and with Smaug.

I had to chew this quote up a little bit and ponder upon it. A side of the dwarves that has not yet been shown is expressed here. I believe it is greed. The dwarves seem to be using Bilbo for his talents – which make up a good thief. There isn’t much to say about the dwarves if they used Bilbo all along as their scapegoat.

Later on in the book the party of dwarves and Bilbo are traversing the mountainside and they get captured by a group of goblins. The dwarves eventually

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit,” writes J.R.R. Tolkien. Within Tolkien’s famous novel The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, thirteen dwarves, and a wizard named Gandalf embark on a journey to reclaim the dwarves’ long-forgotten gold. Although the story seems to be completely original and made of fresh ideas, it is actually influenced by previous literature, like other common novels. Many legends of King Arthur, with unknown authors, influenced J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit.

To me, both Tolkien and movie producers in Hollywood captured many of the different aspects and angles of the timeless classic The Hobbit. Although I pictured some scenes and characters different in my mind, both the movie and the book outdid themselves with lovely yet gruesomely fascinating detail. I myself am not sure if I favor the movie or the book better. Each did a great job of benefiting details to the story by either giving great descriptions of high quality imagery. Both the movie and the book both portrayed the story perfectly in their own ways.

He needed to open up to get to know others and have trust in other people instead of following his anger emotion. The whole adventure was to help inspire Thorin to become a better leader for the dwarves. They had more than enough gold, but Thorin wanted to keep all of the gold and does not want to share it with anybody. Gandalf knew Bilbo would help make Thorin realize what is the right thing to do and what is the wrong thing to do, but all of this can be easily change because of wanting more power and wealth. It was a good thing the dwarves and Bilbo went on the adventure together and fought against many villains.

In my opinion some of these changes made the story more fun to watch and more action packed. But some of these changes made the movie leave out a lot of detail and some parts and got confused because it skipped a scene in the book. I'm glad they added all these similarities because if they had not then it would have left out a lot of information about the characters and Information about the city and plot of the movie and

Him being at his home being comfortable and sitting outside and smoking his pipe at the beginning of the story. The here comes Gandalf with his long staff, and Bilbo greets him and say good morning to him. Gandalf says “What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?” Bilbo says all of them and invites Gandalf to sit down with him. Gandalf says that he does not have time to sit he is looking for someone to go on an adventure. Bilbo tells him he won’t find anyone around these parts. People who live in the Hill are quiet folks they aren’t into adventures. The rising action of the Hobbit is when Gandalf appears and asks Bilbo if he would like to go on an adventure. Bilbo of course at first says no and that hobbit’s do not go on adventures. Bilbo invites Gandalf tea and Gandalf accepts and before he leaves he leaves a sign on Bilbo’s front door. The next day Bilbo up and doing the things he would normally do when he hears a knock at his door. He thought it was Gandalf but it was Dwalin. Then two more dwarves Kili and Fili. Five more dwarves show up Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, and Gloin. Then Gandalf arrives with four more dwarves Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin. They all start discussing the adventure, the map, and who was going to do what. Bilbo is excited about the adventure but

Although the movies are a beautiful remake of the original book, there a quite a few distinct differences between the two. These differences can be very simple: like the fact that Gollum only has six teeth in the book and nine in the movie, or very complex: like the fact that whole new characters were added to the movie that were not originally in the book. The elves Legolas, Tauriel, and Galadriel played very prominent roles in the book in helping the dwarves and hobbit on their journey, yet they ceased to exist in the original text. Another substantial difference between the book and movies is that in the book, the dwarves and hobbit weren’t aware of Smaug leaving (or being killed for that matter) until they were alerted of this news by the crows. However, in the movie, a pretty large battle took place between the dwarves and Smaug. As far as smaller differences go, in the book the keyhole to get into Smaug’s chamber was lit by the sunset, whereas in the movie the keyhole was lit by the light of the moon; the movie showed Bard’s children and the book didn’t; and in the book it talks of Gandalf throwing pinecones lit with fires of many color, but in the book they were all one color; and the movie featured an attack

Bilbo also says the dwarves have worms and the trolls shouldn’t eat them and then by the time Bilbo gets caught stalling, Gandalf comes and breaks the stone with his staff, shining light on the trolls turning them into stone. The visual is very bright when the sunlight shines and the audio is loud and suspenseful when the trolls speak. The difference is significant in novel and film because it was a great change, it helped the viewer understand the characters

When we first meet them they are around the campfire complaining. Hey want more food and something different. After they capture Bilbo, we see them fight over nothing and get easily angered. They then continue to capture all the dwarves and put them into sacks. But they are easily confused and outsmarted when Gandalf comes along and distracts them. In the end they get turned to stone and are left powerless and without anything.

As Stephen King, an author, once said, “Books and movie are like apples and oranges. They are both fruits, but taste completely different.” Which is true. The movie a Raisin in The Sun is better than the book because the movie gives more details and information rather than the book. By adding more details and information to the movie, it makes it seem more interesting than the book. Even though the author added little details to the movie it feels like there are a lot going on. The book compared to the movie just seems boring. Change is good, sometimes in life you have to try new things to make something better. By changing the movie up a bit, there seems to be more going on, as was mentioned before. Like it was said in the quote, the movie and book looks the same and has the same features, but it is also completely different from one and other. Like it was said in the quote, the movie and book are similar, but are different in many ways. Here are some examples that are listed in the next three paragraphs.

The conversation, which goes on and is quite amusing isn’t a turning point in the book and doesn’t even hold that much meaning, but it does satisfy Tolkien’s guideline. Orion, a young man from our world, although a bit magical himself (remember his mother was the princess of Elfland) was talking to a troll. There are no trolls in our world, we can never walk through the woods or down a street and bump into an old troll friend of ours, it can only happen in Fairy-Tales. When compared to the other guidelines we have viewed so far, this one holds more meaning, for if this simple conversation didn’t happen there would be fewer ties to Tolkien. On the other hand however, throughout the book there are no

One big change that is noticed instantly when watching the movies is the removal of Peeves. In the books, Peeves the poltergeist is a mischievous spirit in that roams the school and torments students and staff. Despite this, he is beloved by readers as he appears in pretty much every book, seeing as he is connected to the wizarding
