The Trial Movie Vs Book

Jumanji is a short story, by Chris Van Allsburg, but also there is a movie Jumanji directed by Joe Johnson. Despite being two different types of entertainment they both share similarities in tone and many other things. Although they have some same comparisons they have many oppositions. They share a similarity in tone, frightening, throughout the film and book there is many examples of suspense.

1) In the movie they brought Tommy to Shawshank, and already Andy Dufrense was working together with Tommy to improve his education. Tommy got a “C” average and was thankful to Andy. It wasn’t until later on Tommy is pulled aside to meet Norton about speaking the truth before a trial on Andy’s behalf. Without hesitation he says he would do it for Andy. Norton is disappointed and gives the signal to the guard on top of the tower, and poor Tommy was killed instantly. The book was different because instead of Tommy being killed, he was transferred to another prison to Norton’s benefit, thus keeping Andy to be his personal slave.

imagination by the hand. There are not that many things that are different in the

As J.W. Eagan once said, “Never judge a book by its movie,” I find this quote to be extremely accurate when dealing with the novel The Runaway Jury. The most obvious and pronounced difference between the book and the movie is the entire court case. In the book, the court case is against a big tobacco company. The plaintiff is distraught over the fact that her husband died of lung cancer due to him smoking cigarettes for the past 40 years. The case is over whether the tobacco company knew that smoking tobacco causes disease and cancerous effects, and didn’t put any warning labels or cautions on the products intentionally. When we switch over to the movie, we are completely confused as to why the first scene that takes place is inside of an office building, instead of the court case starting with both sides trying to pick the best jurors. Moments after we are introduced to one of the main characters, we see flashbacks of him with his family. This flashback is his son’s 5th birthday party. The only logical reason that I can see as to why this man was having flashbacks was because of all of the tension that was rising in this office shortly after he arrived. Jacob Wood didn’t think that he would get shot and killed inside of his own office that day. The plaintiff in both the book and the movie is the Jacob’s widow. In the book, Celeste Wood is suing a big tobacco company for the death of her husband. In the movie, she is suing the gun manufacturer for gross negligence. As the

Just because a movie is based on a book doesn’t mean they will be exactly the same. Characters and settings can change, scenes might be added or deleted. To Kill A Mockingbird is no different. While there are many similarities, there are plenty of differences. Goals were set by producers and directors, specific actors were chosen to bring characters to life. This creates several differences that can be seen between the book and the movie.

One example is, during the character's monologues. This is especially true during Bennedick's monologue. During his monologue the actor speaks of his recent interaction with Beatrice, in which she criticizes him to his face thinking he was someone else. In the classic Kenneth Branagh version, the director uses paradigm3 filming techniques to create a simple importance to the emotion that the character/actor emotes. In the Branagh version, Bennedick is well directed to speak the word of Shakespeare, the director uses the close-up so the emotion is much bestowed unto the audience. So when he speaks of feeling shock and distaste towards Beatrice the audience easily connects to that. In the same instance, the BBC version uses film techniques that gloss over the raw emotion of Shakespeare. For instance, during Bennedick’s same monologue the director uses a neutral shot, at the eye-level angle. This causes distraction because the audience’s eye isn’t immediately drawn to the characters face. Instead it is drawn to the extras in costumes walking by or standing around, and to the overall aura of the character. This is much less intense, hence less effective. In like manner, the Joss Whedon uses a medium shot at a neutral angle during this monologue. Although, in the Joss Whedon version the monochromatic tint, and acting choices make the monologue seem very casual. This

The PBS article on film adaption discusses the challenges of adapting a novel into film and the changes film makers may need to make. There are many differences between the two due to their prepositional setups. This can cause key factors of a novel to be lost once transferred into a film. This includes a narrator, personal attachments with the characters, engaging your imagination and possibly even scenes due to the time limitation a film has(PBS). However, when a director takes on this challenge they’re able to alter the novel and fix any faults they see. They also must make many attempts to successfully convey the protagonist’s emotions through other tools with actions or visual aids. This results in the director's

In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Scout struggles with a few obstacles throughout the book, she has many people that help her through them. In Chris Crowe’s Mississippi Trial, 1955, Hiram learns a lot as he grows older and more mature. He figures out the true meanings of things that happen in The South. To Kill a Mockingbird and Mississippi Trial, 1955 are both stories with African American women that play a strong role with other characters, and are affected by being in a different social status than everyone else.

Many people assume that conversion of a novel into a film is an easy task, as they would argue that it is a matter of the lines in the books into dialogue in the movies (Baines 615). However, those who do the work to make it happen understand the challenge well. Some of the fans of movies at times have problems with an adaptation of the film depending on how they have read the book, and some of the elements that people are keen on including the plot, characters, and the theme. Therefore, for a film to have a successful build up, then the directors have to stick to every detail as indicated in the book. Baines was that the work of translating books to the film should not only be about reproducing the content of the book, but it should be about changing the medium through which to present to the audience. Therefore, in this essay, the focus will be on a comparison between the two different versions (book and film) of To Kill a Mockingbird. The comparison will be based on comparing the plot, characters and the theme of the story presented in different media.

Their are many similarities and differences between the novel and the movie of To Kill a Mockingbird.

“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

What would you choose? Would you stay or go? Well, that's what Mia is facing. Mia is a 17 year old cello player who had an audition to Juilliard, a rock star boyfriend, a future ahead of her. That was until she was in a car accident. Now she has lost her mom, dad, and brother. She doesn't know whether to stay or go at this point. The main character's in the book is Mia, Adam(Mia's boyfriend), Kim(Mia's best friend), Mia’s mom, dad, brother Teddy, and her gramps. Although there are major differences between the book and the movie, each equally enjoyable. For various reasons I like the book and the movie equally because it shows the relationships with the characters differently.

In the book, Max dreams of fighting Hitler, while in the movie Max does not have such a dream.

In every single book you read or in every movie you watch there is always another movie or another book you can compare it to. No matter what text from it is there is always something in the world you can compare things to. You can even compare people which most people do but now I am rambling on. I will be comparing six forms of text there will be two movies two poems and two books . Using these six forms of text I will be identifying the plot and the author's intent or why he made it the way he did. I believe that the author's intent deals with the plot of 4 of the text that I am using the other two didn't really have a plot to them.

When a books are made into movies, they can be similar and they can be different. There are generally differences between two different versions of something. There are many similarities and differences in the book and movie version of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
