When there is a book, there may be a movie that follows. Some people prefer reading a book over watching a movie, and some prefer just watching a movie. Movies follow the same story line as their book. However, they have similarities and differences. Movies are often formulated from a book, however, there are differences between a book you read and the movie that follows. In the book, Tell No One, the background of the characters were explained thoroughly, while in the movie they were not. For example, In the book, David Beck was explained to be a pediatrician that liked to care for pregnant teens in poverty while in the movie he was just a pediatrician (Coben 11). Books often go into detail, and explain back ground information so the reader
For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.
The book is better because it gives more excitement and emotion. The book just explains each of the events in great detail. I don’t know about other people, but for me the more information there is, the more I understand it. And in the movie of “The Outsiders”, it does not really say much about what’s going on. For instance, when Johnny dies, in the movie, Ponyboy goes home but it does not tell how long he had been out. In the book, Pony is walking home from the hospital and a man asked him if he wanted a ride (Hinton 151). Though others might think that the movie is better because it visualizes the events that are happening. But, even though it envisions what the book tells about does not mean that it is one hundred percent better.
The difference between the developing way of books and movies is magnificently huge because the way of emotion transmitting is different; the movie is based on vision, while the book is based on words.
For instance, the book talks about how the greasers felt and how their feelings were, then in the movie, it didnt talk about it but it showed it. The way that they showed it was not as good as it was written. When reading we don't fall in love with the characters' appearance. We fall in love with their words, their thoughts, and their hearts. We fall in love with their soul. In movies we focus more on appearance and what's going on in the background, which then gets people distracted from what the character is feeling and their thoughts. On the other hand, you can see the actions of the characters in the movie, which might help you process the way they act, however with the book the author can use what he thinks and try to give people a general idea of everything. For an example in the book it talks about how Randy
There are many publishers in the world who decide to take their work and turn it into films. Although many viewers may think the film should be exactly like the book, they are not. In both novel and book there are going to be slight differences. The moral of both novel and book is the same; however, their narrators are different. The character may act a certain way as one are reading, then act another way as one watch the film.
Books and movies are different in many ways. Books have more events that take place. Movies have less events that take place. In the movie the dad did not shoot Nag and Rikki took the victory. In the book the dad shot Nag and took the victory of killing him. In the movie the dad says they should take Rikki inside. In the book the mom says to take Rikki inside. In the book after Rikki killed Nagaina the ants go and make sure he is not lying. In the movie there are no ants to check.
Whenever a book comes out, people will read the novel or the short story. If the story gains enough popularity, the book may become adapted to a film; however, one cannot expect what he or she saw in the book to correlate with the movie. Salvation, the book, and movie differ from each other and these differences serve more importance than the similarities do. More happens in the film than the book.
“Sometimes you make choices in life and sometimes choices make you.” This is my favorite quote from the popular book written by Galye Foreman in 2009, and then later created into a movie in 2014 called if I stay. The story about Mia, the 17 year old high school student who plays the cello and is totally obsessed with classical music. After a tragic car accident, she gets the rare opportunity to reflect on her entire life. Mia begins to have an out-of-body experience where she becomes separated from her body and is conscious to hear and see everything going on around her. As each event unfolds, Mia reflects on the past’s years with her family. Eventually, Mia’s projected body grows weary and she knows it’s time to make a decision. Return to her body and fight, or let herself slip away
Behind every great movie, comes a storyline that is derived from a book however, most of the books to the movies have a great number of deviations. The screenwriters and other staff members to include the director come up with these deviations to enhance the plot in the attempt to make it a more interesting film to which in turn can make a better profit. The majority of differences that is found in films main objective is to enhance the mind. For example, when a scene has the ability to get a particular feeling out of a viewer, it is imperative to be able to understand the reasons for those feelings. The dialog and the visual effects of a scene sets a tone that differs from that of the book that it was taken from. Also, screen writers and
Film and literature are two media forms that are so closely related, that we often forget there is a distinction between them. We often just view the movie as an extension of the book because most movies are based on novels or short stories. Because we are accustomed to this sequence of production, first the novel, then the motion picture, we often find ourselves making value judgments about a movie, based upon our feelings on the novel. It is this overlapping of the creative processes that prevents us from seeing movies as distinct and separate art forms from the novels they are based on.
I'm When reading a book and watching a movie about it, it can have similarities and differences. One example of this is the book Beowulf while only needing to read part of the book and watching part of the movie, you can see all the similarities and differences. In both the book and the movie they describe Grendel the monster as having bird hands that can kill any man fast. Being the only man brave enough to go after the monster Beowulf and fourteen of his men become the heroes of the story by fighting the kingdoms monster Grendel. The king made a promise to his men that they could use the hall to dine and party, although in the movie the men were dining something different was that the king and his wife would done with them. In the movie
The age old question of whether the book is better than the movie. There is much more to it than that when you consider how the effect of their means of production, textual forms, technologies, affect the messages being portrayed.
A movie that came out in 2002 was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. This movie was based off the best-selling novel, which was written in 1997 by J.K. Rowling, called Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. If you were to read this book and watch the movie you would find many differences, but the main difference between the two is that the book gives more information to the reader than the movie gives to the viewer. If someone was to watch the movie instead of reading the book, that person would not be able to have an accurate perception of the book because so many things in the book are changed in the movie or parts are left out of the movie completely. This is mainly because the book has more characters and chapters, which are
Almost everyone has heard the phrase “the book is better than the movie” but is that always true? Sometimes movies stick close to their book counterparts, but other times they are only inspired by them. Take Psycho for instance. Originally a book by Robert Bloch, it was turned into the movie of the same name by Alfred Hitchcock (Psycho). The movie, deemed a classic, just does not seem to give the same feel the novel does. After all, the main character, Norman Bates, had some traits changed for the film version. Secondly, the film failed to portray the full extent of his complicated relationship with his mother. Furthermore, the infamous shower scene was changed for the film, making reading the novel a better choice than seeing the film.
Readers read fiction to understand people they haven’t met and places they’ve never visited. If a reader were to compare a book and its movie , they would always agree that in the book, you know what the protagonist is thinking and you know more about the character and have time
