The Heat Paper
Growing up my family would watch a lot of movies but one that stuck with me for a while was watching my first rated R movie that was entitled HEAT by Michael Mann. The story takes us through a journey through A group of professional bank robbers start to feel the heat from police when they unknowingly leave a clue at their latest heist. (IMDB) In reading the script compared to the movie I can spot many differences. I loved the movie but the script was better than the movie.
The first difference I spoted was is in the opening sequence of the film. The first scene starts out with a massive structure in the foreground and Robert DeNiro’s character arriving by train. His

In comparing the two depecctions of the story I would of liked to see the subtle decision to use the paper bag and white intern coat. I think that this character choice would set up the movie much nicer and show the audience that Robert Deniro’s character is a mastermind that is very smooth in his actions. While these are subtle decisions made by the director they are very important to the progression of the story. In the movie, we appreciate Robert’s character for his physical characteristics. In the script, Robert is described in detail most notably his psychical and emotional state. The script states “an ice-cold professional-very big, very tough. At 42, his short black hair is graying”. I think that the script did a better job of setting up the story more correctly. I would of liked to see the script version because I think it is a more creative exposition to the film allowing the viewed to become more invested in the characters.
The next scene were I noticed differences was the scene when Val Kilmer buys explosives under the company name "Jack 's Demolition” when Val is at the counter he doesn 't engage in a conversation with the clerk. This is what was shown in the movie version. In the script version however Val does engage in small talk with the clerk-significantly he tells the clerk that he is "drillin ' some post holes into concrete" This banter back and forth allows the person behind the counter to not get suspicious. The script goes on to give a
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
Have you ever came to a point in your life where you feel like the only option was to give up? In the novel Heat by Mike Lupica, the protagonist Michael Arroyo is a member of a Cuban family living in the Bronx of New York. Michael had been temporarily banned from playing in his little league baseball playoff games because they didn’t have his birth certificate. Michael’s character teaches that all people despite their situation should not give up.
The Hot Zone, by Richard Preston, is a non-fiction story about the deadly virus (Ebola) spreading throughout the world. Certain strains of this virus are 90% fatal, and cause horrible symptoms, such as facial drooping, muscle aches, reddened eyes, and puking. The Ebola virus was traced back to a man named Charles Monet. After Monet, the virus spread rapidly, and it was leaving no survivors.
The Hot Zone creates a sense of both vivdness and danger. Author Richard Preston creates an environment that draws the reader into his narrative, making us aware of the “non-fiction” aspect of the book and the consequences its contents might have on our own lives.
Both the novel and the film share indistinguishable qualities. For example,They both have the same places as the novel.There were the DX,Tasty Freeze,the lot,the church,and the characters houses.Since they had the same places the same things happened.They have the same places so,they have the same scenes.However,they seem identical, they have a lot of differences.
When the socs and the greasers are going to have the big rumble in the book Darry asks if anyone wants to fight him but in the movie the person that he fight in both the book and movie says he will fight him. After the big rumble Dally and Ponyboy go to see Johnny who is almost dead and after he dies Ponyboy freaks out in the book and thinks he's not dead but in the movie it is only Dally. In the book Dally goes and robs a grocery store but in the movie he robs the gas station. When Dally leaves in the movie the guy shoots Dally and injures him but in the book he never had a gun. When Dally is shot by the police he is shot at the park in the movie but in the book he is shot in the street under the lamppost. There is so much more differences in the movie but it would be impossible to say them all so that is all of the differences i found from the book and
This summer I read an amazing book called Heat by Mike Lupica. This was an awesome book because it had a lot of action and detail in the book, I never wanted to put it down. The protagonist in the book Heat was Michael and he was faced by many conflicts and in the end he always found out a way to get through all the rough times in his life. Michael came from Cuba on a boat to the United States with his dad and his brother so they could try to start a better life in the United States. Michaels Dad dies at a young age in a fight leaving Michael and his brother Carlos by themselves. For two years they lived by themselves without anybody finding out That Michael's Dad died. They didn’t wanted anyone to find out until Carlos turned eighteen and
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
very big similarity. In my opinion, the movie was better because you could actually see whats going on,
differences exist between the original play and the film. Apart from the specific techniques of lighting and
This summer I’ve read the book Heat by Mike Lupica. This baseball themed book is a out of the park excitement. It’s about a 12 year old cuban boy named Michael who is newly orphaned but loves to throw killer heat. But everything goes downhill when Michael can't prove his age by a lost birth certificate and gets kicked off the team. Michael tries to do his best by supporting the team by the sidelines. It gets worst, since his brother Carlos is only 17, they have to stay in the shadows so they don't get separated into foster homes.
In both versions of the film, there were many characteristics and events that were extremely similar. Both took place in New York City. It had the same scene when George Wilson killed Gatsby. It also had when Gatsby, Tom, Daisy and Jordan going to the gas station. Also had when Myrtle Wilson Got hit by Daisy in the yellow car. Then when daisy hit Myrtle it showed Gatsby washing and cleaning the car. Gatsby having parties every week. Then also had Tom always cheating on daisy. Gatsby and Tom had the same cars. Nick always lived next to Gatsby.
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.
Although both movies are different, they are also both similar to each other. One way they are similar is the time of day the scene takes place. They both take place mid-day or afternoon. They are also
The differences in this scene are a product of the different timelines, once again. This contrast is not very significant because the outcome is the same for both the film and the novel.
