The Lovely Bones: Comparison Of Book And Movie

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.

Peter Jackson’s 2009 film, The Lovely Bones, is based off of the New York Times bestseller novel written by Alice Sebold. Both the book and the movie adaptation tell the story of a young, 14-year-old girl named Susie Salmon who is brutally murdered by her neighbor. In both versions, Susie narrates her story from the place between Heaven and Earth, the “in-between,” showing the lives of her family and friends and how each of their lives have changed since her murder. However, the film adaptation and the original novel differ in the sense of the main character focalization throughout, the graphic explanatory to visual extent, and the relationship between the mother and father.

Director of the Lovely Bones,Peter Jackson successfully turned words on paper into a visual masterpiece. The Lovely Bones is a dramatic thriller that depicts the beautiful life and tragic murder of Susie Salmon. Through dualism along with specific blocking techniques and changing background noises,Peter Jackson portrays the fallacy that is feeling safe in the suburbs,the connection people have with their earthly possessions,and the falsehood that doing good things will lead to a good life. Suburbs are often described as the safest place on earth,but there in the safest place,Susie would meet her demise. No one would have ever suspected that a serial killer lived just a few doors down..

The Lovely Bones is a bone chilling film about a 14 year old girl, Susie Salmon, who was murdered by her creepy neighbour. Susie watches over her friends, family and her killer from a place called, “The In-between”, which is located between heaven and earth. She watches over them because she has unfinished work to do; kiss a boy from her school that she has a crush on, and to indicate to her family who her murderer is. From start to finish, this film is full of suspense, drama, heart pumping activity, love between a father and daughter, humour and the love between a teenage boy and a teenage girl. I personally enjoy watching films about murder so I believe there are more strengths and positive things about this film than weaknesses and

Though there are many differences, there are also many similarities, for example, how Jonas is selected as the next Receiver.

In the book the plot is set in the 1970s in a small town while the movie is based in more of a modern time. The book has a very believable and descriptive story that is more in depth than the plot of the movie. The movie left out a few things from the book but to compensate the movie added a few more things to the story line. In the story it progresses to the point in both the book and the movie where Carrie takes on her two main enemies in the book one she loves and one that she despises. She loves her mother but must kill her because her mother is coming at her with the intent to kill her. She hates both Chris and Tommy who both at the end try to kill her with Tommy’s car where they are met with their own death. However the depiction of the two deaths is different in the movie and the book where the movie it thoroughly describes Carrie slowly slowing her mother's heart down when in the movie it shows Carrie throwing a barrage of knives at her. The book and the movie deaths of Chris and Tommy are similar but in the book Carrie dies after killing Chris and Tommy compared to in

In both of these the story is almost exactly the same. Such as when the spirits take him they take him to the same place in both.The first spirit take him to the school in both the movie and book. The second spirit takes him to his nephew’s party in both. The third spirit takes him to the poor part of his town on both too. This proves the book and movie have lot of similarities.

They are most of the same characters but there are characters that were left out of the movie. In the book Hazel is friends with a girl named Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn and Hazel go to the mall and text, however in the movie there is no Kaitlyn. Also in the book, Augustus talks to Hazel about his old girlfriend that pased away. Caroline Mathers was Augstuses old girlfriend that died of cancer. In the movie they never mention Caroline Mathers or talk about her. Last of all, it says in the book that Hazel goes to Isaac's house and they play video games and his little brother is there. There is no part in the movie where Hazel is at Isaac's house and she meets his brother. This book has many simalities when it comes to the characters but you also have to notice that there are just as many
