To Kill A Mockingbird: Comparing The Book And The Movie

There are usually differences in two different versions of something. This can often be seen when a book is made into a movie. There are many similarities and differences in the book and movie versions of To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee.

That is why the point of view is different in the book and in the movie. The second difference is the characters. The characters are different because in the book there are sixteen characters and in the movie there are only ten. The missing characters are Theo Theodorakis, Flora Baumbach, Madame Sun Lin Hoo, and Dr. Denton Deere.

There are other significant similarities between the movie and the book, so if I overlooked or forgot any extremely crucial points, forgive me.

There are many differences between the book; To Kill a Mockingbird and the movie. Some differences are easy to spot and some aren’t. Many things that are in the book aren’t in the movie. Many of these things you don’t need, but are crucial to the plot of the book. Movies and books have differences and similarities, but many things in books MUST be included in the movie.

The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and

There are couple of reason that Mr.Raymond act drunk and one of them is that he wants people to leave him alone.

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.

The book was in great detail and put a vivid image into your head but what I saw in my imagination and what I saw in the movie were two completely different images. The book had a lot more scenes and events, and the movie cut out a lot of those events and scenes that were really intriguing. The movie would have been doubled in time if they would’ve included all of the

Neither the novel nor film version of To Kill A Mockingbird is superior to the other, just different. In the book you delve more into the separate characters while in the film you see the relationships in action. The book gives you a broader view of everything, but at the same time the movie points out everything that seems important. Lastly, the novel shows Scout as a girl caught in the middle, when the movie seems to paint Scout as a girl without a inkling of what is going on.

"It's a sin to kill a mockingbird," explains Atticus Finch to his children (To Kill Dir. Robert Mulligan). Neither the novel nor film version of To Kill A Mockingbird is better than one another, just different. "It's no secret that adapting a novel to film can be a perilous affair. A movie, even when it's good, doesn't often convey the feeling of the book it's based on. But in this case screenwriter Horton Foote treated the Harper Lee novel - about a Depression-era Alabama lawyer and his two children - with love and respect, and the director successfully evoked the

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.

the film placed a strong emphasis behind the idea that it is a sin to kill a mockingbird. Mockingbirds are harmless creatures who imitate the songs of others and represented as innocence. thus, it is wrong to destroy innocence.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a beloved novel published in 1960. After reading the novel there were some moments and people that I found particularly enjoyable. My favorite part of the novel was when the children went to Boo Radley's house to try to get a look at him. In addition, Atticus Finch was my favorite character in the novel. In my opinion the book was very good. I felt that it really showed the thoughts and actions, both good and bad, of the people in the South during the time of the Great Depression. At some points it was sad and at others it was comical but overall it conveyed the message that it was trying to send and everyone could learn something from it.

In the movie there was also new events such as Ms Prism fainting. The new events made the story more interesting and also added length to the film. If the movie was only the events of the book it would have been much shorter than the movie. Another major change in the movie was the whole beginning of the story happened in Algernon’s house in the book but in the movie it happened in a number of locations. Another major change of the film was that Algernon is the elder brother in the movie while in the book he's the younger brother. Through the whole movie he acts like the younger brother therefore it only made sense for him to be the elder

In the very beginning, I felt pity for the main character, Lee. He just appeared to be a very bitter person, then he discovered that his older brother had passed away and to top it all off, he had been away from his childhood family for so long, without any contact so he had no idea how any of them were holding up. We get flashbacks of happier points in Lee’s life, which occasionally tend to lighten the mood throughout the film. Personally, I began to feel a little better for him at around thirty minutes in. Viewers can see Lee in a happier mood, interacting with his children, who also help to lighten the mood. The mood eventually switches back to a dark and more serious tone when Lee snatches a police officer’s gun and points it directly at his own head. I also experienced a sense of dark humor, specifically when Lee misunderstood his nephew, Patrick. The two pull up to the front of a morgue when Patrick states “Let’s just go”. Lee took this saying to mean to leave the location entirely, however Patrick said it to mean go into the building. The dark humor comes in when Lee realizes the difference between their thought processes and begins yelling, but Patrick angrily snaps back with the remark “I’m sorry I misused the English language”.
