The Talented Mr. Ripley

All in all there were many things different about the book compared to the movie.

To begin with the first difference between the movie and the novel is poor character development, and how the character are shown differently in both the novel and the movie. When Gene goes to Leper’s home town, he finds him shell shocked. When Gene gets the telegram letter and goes to

Normally, when a movie is made about a story in a book the two stories are not exactly the same. The movie is adjusted by adding small details or leaving out some parts in order to make the story more

It can be seen that "The Great Gatsby," by Scott Fitzgerald is one the greatest novels of all time. Its method to depict The American Dream has been attempted to be matched an uncountable amount of times. Other aspects used in "The Great Gatsby," by Scott Fitzgerald, have also been employed in many forms of media such as novel and movies. One that has done particularly well to employ them is the 1999 motion picture "The Talented Mr. Ripley," directed by Anthony Minghella. Similarities in both the book "The Great Gatsby," by Scott Fitzgerald and the motion picture "The Talented Mr. Ripley," directed by Anthony Minghella are so clear it can not be overlooked such as; the context and setting, the

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

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.

Both share the same plot, and there are very little differences between the two. These are a few of the differences that I was able to notice between the book and the movie. There are several others throughout the story, but they are all just as minute and in the end they have no effect on the outcome of the story. Overall, I was very impressed with the movie and it was very true to the book. I have seen my share of movies that were adaptations from books that did not do the book justice, but this one is almost exactly like the book, so it was very

A minor difference between the movie and the book was concerning the scene about Sir Henry going to the moor. In the book he was pretty upset that people were trying to keep him from going there, but in the movie he showed the least bit of emotion. This was not a major impact on the story but it definitely added character to Sir Henry. In the movie Sir Henry was somewhat timid and in the book that scene showed he was not afraid to stand up for himself.

When we saw the movie and the book and saw the movie, there were a couple of thing that they did not mention or did in the movie. In the movie they cut out some thing from the book. They did not really put everything they said in the book into the movie. They also did not really get some people personal feature. Here are something that were different from the movie, than what it said from the book.

He also was born financially stable from his well known family. His social attitudes are laced with racist and sexist opinions and thoughts , he has never once considered living to the moral standard he demands from those around him. Tom hurts other people and doesn’t think twice about it. He also could have prevented both Gatsby and Wilson’s deaths, but chose not to. It seems he has no problem with it. In-depth, Tom is a cocky and arrogant man whereas Gatsby is a loyal and good-hearted man.

For example, in the story I thought the H-G men were just a group of individuals in the community but in the 2081 they were like the SWAT or the military. I think the the producers made this difference because when you're watching a movie you expect lots of exciting action which happened in this 2081 scene. Overall the movie was more action based which was different form the book. The book and the movie were also very different when Harrison acted like a hero and a villain combined in the movie but in the book he doesn't act like either of these. Harrison also threatened to blow up a bomb in the movie but he didn't do that in the book. The reason they changed these examples from the book was to give more excitement, and entertainment for the

The actor choices from the film compare to what the book envisioned, but also contrast. The character of Daisy is not similar in the film to what the book

There are innumerable ways that the movie and the book are similar. The whole idea of the story is the same in both. Rachel is a complete drunk, who went though a divorce. Rachel is trying to investigate about what had happened to Megan. She interrogates Dr. Abdic because she mistakenly thought Megan and the doctor were smooching on the balcony. On her own, she discovers what truly happened to Megan. Anna, the girl Tom left Rachel for, recognized Tom was manipulative when Rachel was explaining to Anna what truly happened. They both ended up working together to kill Tom in the end. The majority of the book and

There were numerous differences between the Fahrenheit 451 book and movie. The first and obvious one is that there is no woman named Mildred in the movie version. In the movie, Montag's wife is called Linda, which is different from the book. Another difference is that Montag first is introduced to Clarisse by Bradbury on the street, not on the subway as shown in the movie. A difference that has minuscule affect on the plot, but still noticeable enough for it to catch my attention.

Tom Ripley is consistently represented by Highsmith and Minghella as someone who’s always lacked an identity. His overriding ambition to be someone else using the talents of impersonation, forgery and telling lies portrays him as a predator, hunting for congruence, cohesion and meaning in life. From this point onwards, Tom enters a cruel and unstable reality where his obsession with Dickie Greenleaf causes him to kill him and assume his
