The Departed And Infernal Affairs

Is the novel making the same point about the value or ideas as the film? If so, how? If it is making a different point about the value or idea, how is it different?

While some of the events are not the same, a majority of the differences are tiny details. For example, in the book Socrates has a photo of Theresa, his ex-girlfriend, hanging in his kitchen by the window. In the picture, Theresa is wearing a red dress but in the movie she is in a white dress. The book also tells the reader that Socrates spent twenty-seven years in prison and was released eight years ago; in the movie; he only served eighteen years and had only been out for ten months.

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

     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

The novel and the movie were both very suspenseful. The main characters are both the same in the book and in the movie but are a little bit different then their counter partners in the novel/movie. In both the movie and

Now, I will explain the differnces between the original script and the movie. One pretty noticible difference is that the setting is a lot different. In the script, the setting is on the balconey, and is definetly a way less modern version, almost like a cliche love scene. In the 1997 movie, the setting isn’t even on a balcony, it is on a back porch with a pool. This takes away the whole “cliche love scene” in the original script, and as i feel takes awaay some of the meaning of the original. It also is a lot more

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.

very big similarity. In my opinion, the movie was better because you could actually see whats going on,

The “Outsiders” movie and novel are very different and similar. The book and the movie have some similarities. After really comparing the two there was a lot of differences.

One difference between the movie and the novel is the beginning. The movie opens up with Nick Carraway speaking to a therapist, Dr. Walter Perkins. The whole movie is Carraway narrating, just like in the book. However, he is talking to Perkins, and writing down the story as suggested by the doctor. In some research, it suggests that Carraway was seeing the therapist to help with alcohol abuse. This is not part of the book, and somewhat changes the reader’s idea of Carraway in the story versus him in the book.

Some of the similarities were very noticeable. Just from the beginning, in both the movie and the

Chopra changing the ending and Connie’s mother’s attitude toward Connie. One of the things that do not change is the relationship between Arnold Friend and Connie. In the short story there is a sad conclusion. While in the film Connie reconciles her relationship with her family. Connie and her mother Katherine, are constantly debating in the short story and film. The two finally come to good terms; Connie’s sister ,June, is now able to sit down and have a decent chat with her sister on recent events that Connie has stumbled upon.

But the actor is nothing without the writer, and not by any means is The Departed lacking in storyline. As you watch The Departed, Colin Sullivan (Damon) and Billy Costigan’s (DiCaprio) storylines become increasingly in-depth and intertwined. Starting when Colin Sullivan is just a child and his encounter with Frank Costello’s mentorship, the story then fast-forwards to Costigan and Colin working their way through police training and eventually amounting to Costigan undercover and Colin as a detective. The side by side comparison of their lives adds to distinct feelings about the characters. The two “rats” continually work against each other and narrowly miss seeing each other’s faces, even dating the same girl, Madolyn (Verna Farmiga). This suspense draws watchers to the edge of their seats with anticipation for the conclusion of the movie.

Main differences in these films are not in the depictions of the drug cartel, most likely because they are, in actuality, as bad as they seem on film. Differences arise in how the drugs relate to those using them or moving them, how they impact the characters, and the role the United States plays in relation to the characters and cartel.

     The very first difference is probably the most noticeable and important difference between the two versions of the film: the narration of Rick Deckard
