“When we tackle obstacles, we find hidden reserves of courage and resilience we didn’t know we had.” -A.P.J Abdul Kalam, this quote means that when we overcome something unexpected we become more resilient. There is a book and a movie version to “The Life Of Pi” LOP. They have several differences and some similarities. Written by Yann Martel “The Life Of Pi” is a realistic fiction story about a boy named Pi. When a storm hits his familie ship he ended up stranded at sea with a tiger a.k.a Richard Parker. At first they have their differences but when Pi notices they will be stuck together until they are found , Pi decides to train Richard Parker. The movie isn’t completely like this and it isn’t completely different either, but there are …show more content…
A good dint…” Pi used the tarpaulin hooks in the book but when Pi finds the water breaks the seal and opens the can no problem. Another difference is the colour of the water cans, in the movie the cans were silver but in the book they were a pale gold colour. According to page 86 of the Code- X text book it states, “ On the lifeboat, the wine of life was served in pale golden cans that fit nicely in the hand.” The book says the water cans are gold but in the movie Pi was chugging from Silver water cans. There may be more differences than similarities between the book and the movie but there are still similarities. There is one main difference between the book and the movie. For instance in the movie it shows Pi on the edge of the boat and being so tired he fell into the water below him, since he was up all night on the edge of the boat with nothing but the lifebuoy holding him up he hurt his neck and his back. According to page 79 of the Code- X it states, “ My neck was sore from holding up my head and from all the craning I was doing. My back hurt from leaning against the lifebuoy.” Pi was keeping watch in both the movie and the book so in both versions he injured his back and neck. Another similarity was when Pi decides to train Richard Parker. According to page 93 it states, “ Wouldn’t this make a good whip with which to keep Richard Parker in line.” Why want to keep a tiger in line other than to train it, just like in
One of the differences that were most important was Johnny’s hand. Johnny’s crippled hand changed his life and made him look for another job. Johnny’s hand still gets crippled and then fixed in both the book and the movie, but in different ways. The book tells that Johnny’s crippled hand was caused by Dove, one of the apprentices with Johnny in the book . The book says that Dove gives Johnny a cracked crucible for Johnny to look at. Johnny reaches for the cracked crucible before it falls as it pours the liquid metal on his hand and makes it crippled. The movie shows Mrs. Lapham bumping into Johnny before he falls and his hand falls into the liquid metal. The movie didn’t include Dove, who gave Johnny the cracked crucible which made Johnny’s hand
Like I said before, there are major differences between these two. Some are very visible; the names of the characters. There are others that even though are minor, they are completely unnecessary. This minor differences are small details that we remember from the book, and we were expecting to
Some similarities are, one, the characters are the same. Winnie foster,in the movie and the book still kept her same name, her feelings about wanting to leave. In the book on page 13 it says , “Winnie Foster sat on the bristly grass just outside the fence” showing that her name is the same. Another similarity is, Mae Tuck hits the man in the yellow over the head with the rifle. In the movie it shows Mae Tuck hitting the man in the yellow suit
The first difference that caught my eye was how there was no cat, in the book there was a cat named, Sammie, and Sammie always got stuck in one of Billy’s traps. But in the movie
The plot and the setting of book and movie are very similar. There was a lot of thins borrowed from the book, but there was a lot changed as well. The movie followed the plot of book very closely and portrayed the setting of the book very well. A lot of the dialogue was borrowed and spoken directly as it was in the book.
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 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and
The book and the film were both simular, and yet different in many ways. An example would be, in the film, Ponyboy was walking to the drive-in and meeting Cherri and Marcia. Although in the book, Ponyboy began his journey by telling the readers about his experience about being jumped by the Socs and being threatened. The director probably had some options to pick from to leave out from the movie, and the director chosed this to leave out. Leaving out the part where Ponyboy was jumped was an effective move because without the experience Ponyboy was lost and helpless because he did not know what to do when he and Johnny got cornered in the park by Bob and other Socs.
Some things are different in the book and movie. Like Sunset Towers and Money in both versions. Sunset towers is luxurious in the book but a bad place to live downtown. The money the will was worth 200 million but in the movie it is worth 20 million. Another difference is that the Wexlers moved to Sunset Towers because they had no money, but in the book they moved because they had money. In the movie Jake Wexler is paying off his debt though they have money in the book. Jake Wexler is a
The first big difference, and one of the most obvious happened to be the shipwreck that happened in the movie, while in the story Rainsford fell off the yacht and no one noticed. The next major difference is the fact that Rainsford met the other victims of shipwreck incidents and became close to the girl, Eve, who also was living in the mansion. Many other details of the story were altered since the female part was written in, the most obvious being that she went with Rainsford when he was hunting against Zaroff. Once they were out in the jungle, they started building the man catcher instead of hiding in the tree first. Their next attempt to stop Zaroff was also different than in the book, because Rainsford didn’t have to dig a hole; they just used one that was already there. Towards the end Rainsford walks into the mansion while Zaroff is playing piano, and once they fight and Rainsford wins, he leaves with Eve instead of staying and sleeping in Zaroff’s
Both share the same plot, and there are very little differences between the two. These are a few of the differences that I was able to notice between the book and the movie. There are several others throughout the story, but they are all just as minute and in the end they have no effect on the outcome of the story. Overall, I was very impressed with the movie and it was very true to the book. I have seen my share of movies that were adaptations from books that did not do the book justice, but this one is almost exactly like the book, so it was very
In the book Life of Pi the author Yann Martel wrote about a young boy named Pi Patel surviving on a lifeboat by himself. Throughout the entire book Pi was very close to religion and in the end his religions were the main reason he had survived. At the start of the book Yann Martel introduces three religions, Islam, Christianity, and Hinduism. There are three main points that aided in Pi’s survival. One being that Pi was open to religions and started to follow the Islamic faith. The second reason is that Islam believed that one should pray five times a day, and Pi did exactly this. The last reason is that the religion
Yann Martel`s Life of Pi follows A journey of a young man and a Bengal tiger as they travel across the ocean in a lifeboat.Director Ang lee made many consider the book to be beautiful,but virually unflimable.Being needed to told on screen Ang lee discerned very adeptly,about Life of Pi ‘’if there is will there is a way’’.
Survival is an instinct. Often times, in order to survive, people must shed a part of their innocence. For some, it may be subtle, taken in tiny bites along the way, and for others it could be in one traumatizing moment. Ang Lee, director of “The Life of Pi,” explores this theme throughout his film. Lee shows the viewer this loss in the use of imagery, lighting, and color. He takes the viewer on a journey through the eyes of Piscine Patel as his innocence and humanity slowly get chipped away and he is forced to do what is necessary to survive and the lengths he goes to to regain that lost innocence.
What’s the difference between the book and the movie? Mice and men is a great book but it is a little different in the movie. Believe it or not many very important things happened in the book that did not put in the movie.
