Ender's Game Movie Vs Book Analysis

Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom. This not only caused a lot of drama but more depth to the plot. Also, Crow didn’t go to jail but they did talk about most of the consequences of her going to jail. This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go.

The book begins with Ender gets his monitor out and commander Graff tells him he needs to go to battle school because he was the smartest kid. In the shuttle going to battle school, he broke Bernard’s arm and got bullied by the bigger kids. Ender started to command his own army after standing up to the bullies and then graduated and moved to command school. He stays on earth for a while to get ready to travel to Eros and then he was isolated from everyone and then he got to fight in the war against the Buggers. They won and Ender’s team thought it was a game not

Despite his insecurities and loneliness, Ender becomes a commander in the battle that successfully leads his team to victory in destroying the alien species.

I will make 4 different points to show the differences. The first point is the fight with Stilson. In the book the fight is outside while Ender is walking to the bus and in the movie the fight is initially in science lab. Stilson and his friends pushed Ender in the science lab to fight him. Next, Ender

Ender did not have a good childhood. At the age of six he was changed from a little boy into a soldier in a six year old’s body. He was worked to the breaking point and even had a mental breakdown. Ender was take by th I.F. so that he could be trained to save the world, but he didn’t know that this involved, blocking all forms of contact with his family and being pushed to be perfect at everything until he had a mental break down. Somehow he managed to win the war, but as a result he became a young man with no friends and no life. Ender’s Game, by Orson Scott Card, demonstrates the effects of taking away children's rights by working them too hard, forcing them to solve every problem themselves, and are forced into armed combat against each other.

In the beginning of the book Ender gets his monitor removed and gets into a fight. The way he handled the fight is what caused colonel Graff to offer Ender to join battle school. In the start of battle school, Ender got picked on a lot, until he killed Bonzo, he was promoted to commander, commanding his own army, he defeated a lot of other armies in the school. In the commanding part of the book, he was getting stressed and losing sleep, he went back to Earth because he didn’t want to be in battle school anymore, then his sister convinced him to go to Eros to train for the bugger war, when he was playing simulations of a bugger invasion, he finally defeated the buggers and Graff told him that the games were actually real, not simulators. After he beat the buggers, another war started on Earth, his sister met with him where he was and told him that he should be governor at another planet and went around to find a new planet for a new era for the buggers.

Undermined by dread of another extra-terrestrial invasion, humanity turns to the youngsters to get ready for the approaching war. Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is a novel and Ender's Game directed by Gavin Hood is the motion picture based – very loosely - on that novel. So how true to the book were these producers? Translating a 368 page military science fiction novel from 30 years back into a 2 hour film regardless of how well approached will have a few aspects of it hit the fan. With the principle force of the story being fixated on Ender's inward voice and several enormous subplots, a few components are sure to be not true to the book whatsoever.

When Ender was playing the giants game, many key aspects were missing such as the wolf children and the playground. These messed up the storyline a bit because when Ender at the end was going to find the real castle, none of these aspects were included. Another very drastic change was how long Ender was at battle school. The whole training took around 7 months as opposed to 5 years in the book. Also, because they left all of this time out, Ender skipped many armies. Therefore, we were never introduced to Rose the Nose. At the end of the book, the bugger queen talked straight to Ender which never happened in the book. Speaker of the Dead was mentioned once by Mazer Rackham in the movie, where in the book there was much more explained about it. One of the biggest differences was what they called the buggers in the movie. In the movie, the buggers were called formics instead. Locke and Demontheses were never featured in the movie at all, which is a large missing detail that should've been in the movie. These missing details made me think twice about what was happening in the movie as opposed to the

Ender struggled his whole life being a Third. Until one day, he realized he was good for something. Finally, after years of searching for the “next” Mazer Rackham, they found Ender Wiggin. Ender accomplished all the challenges the military program threw at him, which eventually led him to be the International Fleet Commander of the war. The book was better than the movie in my opinion, because the movie skipped a lot of scenes which really confused me.

Those were a few of the big differences you can easily notice. There were also other tiny differences. In the movie there were no Locke and Demosthenes, no Dink’s theories, Ender’s time in battle school was shortened down, the battles were compressed , and his army is much smaller than in the book. Also, his siblings, Valentine and Peter, were almost completely cut from the

One of the first and biggest differences is the name of the aliens. In the book, the aliens that they are fighting are called buggers. However, in the movie they are called formics. The second big difference is the fight with Stilson. In the book, Ender fought Stilson outside their school by the buses, and Stilson ended up dying. The movie differs because Ender fights with Stilson

Have you ever read or watched the Ender’s game? Have you ever compared the book and the movie. The book and the movie have many differences and many similarities.

Enders Game novel by Orson Scott Card and the film by Gavin Hood had too many differences. The film compared to the book, is practically totally different and had significant changes in the plot line and the setting. The movie was simplified to fit the normal movie length. The age of almost all the characters were changed along with some of their background. Among all the things that were different was also most of the characters development especially, Enders emotional development trough out the movie. There was also differences inside battle and command school. The mistake the director made was probably the ending which was completely changed from the book besides Ender finding the egg. Sadly the film was almost completely different form the book.
