Outsiders Movie/Book Comparison Have you ever read the book “The Outsiders”? Have you ever seen the movie? Both these are good stories and there are many many similarities. In fact the movie is praised for how much it is like the book. Although there are many similarities, there are differences as well. What are these differences? Let's find out First up is the similarities. The first similarity is that all the characters are exactly the same in the book and the movie. Darry is still older than Pony and works all the time, Soda is still the middleman in a war between Darry and Ponyboy, Pony is still the youngest and hates Dally most of the time, Dallas is still a punk, etc. The next similarity is that all major plot points are still
Comparing the differences in the book of “ The outsiders” to the movie there are a few things that have been changed. There is a significant difference with one of the deaths. A few situations are also changed . Such as the rumble and how the boys enter the hospital to see one of their friends.The intro and ending of both the book and the movies are different.There are scenes that weren’t added to the movie. The author, S.E Hinton, and the director Francis Ford Coppola deviated which parts were not as valuable and chose to cut some unimportant scenes.
The novel and the movie share many similarities.The book and the novel share the same problems. A example johnny and pony run away since johnny killed bob.In both johnny gets injured badly and dies.
The Outsiders movie & film the movie & film are opposite and are the same at time. There were some what similar but had lots of differences. The book said Darry slap him but in the movie the shoved him.
The novel has more detail than the movie because in the novel it showed more of the characters backstories it doesnt talk about Ponyboy’s school or about Dally’s past life was like before he moved and how Johnny got beat up by the Soc while the movie skipped all of that. Another is that in the novel you can hear the character’s thoughts you could hear what Ponyboy was thinking throughout the whole story and because the novel was in first person and the movie was in third person so you couldn't really hear what the character was thinking in the movie.
The Outsiders book and movie are the same but also very different to. These are some of the similarities I saw in the movie and book. It generally goes across the same idea/lesson that we are all the same rich,poor, or average. And that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, like some greasers are mean but some are nice, and how some socs are mean and some are nice. Also in the movie and the book they also both explain how johnny’s home life was harsh and brutal were no one in the home cared or loved for him. Also that Pony,Darry, and Soda were living them three, because of their parents dying in a car crash suddenly. It also shows that the greaser are like family nothing can break them apart, and they trust each other with their lives and love and care for them more than some of their own parents care for them. It also talks about in the movie and book that Johnny killed Bob
In the book “The Outsiders” there is more detail and the plot seems to go at a slower pace than the movie. The greasers are from the west side of town while
The Outsiders movie and book were mostly the same with a few differences. The Outsiders is a movie and a book from a first person point of view. The book is longer than the movie with more details. The movie is shorter with less details.
One major difference in the movie would be Dally's point of view. In the book, the story was in Ponyboy's point of view, which meant we didn't get to see anyone else's point of view. The movie added Dally's point of view contrary to the book. In the book, we don't read about Dally's
The difference I notified the most in the book versus the movie was the details told in the reading, as well as the angles of the camera and the closeups. The camera angles and closeups helped intensify the situations during the movie. The camera movements helped portray the scene. An example of this is during the scene where Bob dies, they had the camera pointing towards their feet, showing Ponyboy and Johnny walking as the blue mustang drives by. It shows how the mustang kept circling them as they are walking to the playground planning to relax and cool down. In the movie the boys could hear the roaring of the engine which portrays the mustang as a predictor and the boys as the prey. In the book, the mustang did not drive up onto the grass.
As many similarities there are connecting the two universes of the book and the movie, there are also many differences between them, disconnecting the universes. In the beginning of the movie, it starts out with Ponyboy walking on the sidewalk. But, in the book, it starts out with Ponyboy leaving the movies and getting jumped by the Socs and having the gang to save him, which is completely skipped over in the movie. Another crucial detail that was either skipped or modified was where the Socs were located vs where the Greasers were located. In the book, the Greasers were inhabited on the East side of Tulsa and the Socs in the West, but in the movie, the Greasers are in the North while the Socs are in the South. Not only are the locations different, but the major scene where Dally dies was different as well. In the movie, Dally is skimming through magazines before ripping one, walking over to the store clerk, holding the heater up to his head, and demanding he gives him money. In the book, the store does get robbed, but it doesn't mention how the clerk pulled a heater of his own out and began to shoot at Dally as he was running away. Another scene modified differently in the movie is the ending. In the book, it ends with Ponyboy being sick and making up an assignment, but in the movie he immediately goes to school
It is an experience of a lifetime to read a story in a book and watch the movie. The book and movie, The Outsiders, share many similarities and differ in equally many ways. S. E. Hinton narrated the Outsiders, and this high-quality narration was equally translated to the movie (2). However, they seem to vary in so many ways. This write-up examines the similarities and differences between the book and movie, The Outsiders, in terms of the plot, characters, setting, style, and theme.
The book and the movie of the Outsiders are two very different stories. The book has so much more detail then the movie. The movie is not the most detailed but it does get its point across. There are may similarities and also many differences between the two the book is by far more interesting and more detailed then the movie. I enjoyed the book a lot and the movies a lot but the movie was missing a lot.
Differences (stick with at least four)- Ponyboy has a good relationship with sodapop and gets along better with darry but still has a very good relationship with his brother. In the beginning of the book, Pony gets jumped by some Socs, but he doesn’t get cut with a knife. In the movie, they cut him. In the movie when ponyboy is talking to cherry he says how the sun on the south side and she says”good how bout the north.” In the book it's written west and east. Also in the movie johnny never got his first beating from the soc in the book he does. In the book it gave more detail and information in the movie it starts like in mid way of the book.
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
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.
