Do you go and read the book of something before you go and see the movie?? If we don’t read the book before we see the movie we won’t understand the difference between the movie and the book. It is very rare that both and movie and the book are even close to being the same. In movies, most characters have been deleted and others invented. Settings have also been changed from the book to the movie. Also, the actors that are in the movie may not be anything like the characters in the books. People should spend the time to read a book before they go see the movie so they can say what they think and which one they like better.
First, in books and novels, the characters are very important to the plot. Movies often are changed from the novels or books they are made after. Dialogue has also been altered to please a wide variety of people viewing the movie. Screenwriters assume only a small percentage of the audience has actually read the book. If only a small percent of the audience has read the book, most of them won’t know the difference between the book and the movie they are seeing.
Second, settings have been changed or altered from the book to the movie. It is necessary to have the same settings in the movie that were in the book. Settings often give the tone of the story. Directors can make similar settings but it is crucial to get as close as they can to the book.
Last, the actors in the movies that play the characters from the story may not be liked and may not portray the characters as how they were in the novel. It is essential to have the characters and the actors as closely related as possible. Also, the screenwriters or directors may not want the actor who can do it better because they may want too much money to be in the movie. The actor may not meet the readers’ expectations of how the character should sounds like or look like. The characters in movies are defined by the actors chosen. In a book, however, the characteristics of a person

    I believe the movie was told very differently than the book because a movie director is entertaining a different audience than an author of a book. A director has different goals and thoughts to portray than the original book. The director is given certain artistic freedoms to help better connect with the audience and sometimes that makes the story change a little…

    Davie Movie Vs Book

    I think, hopefully along with you, the reader that books are greater than the movie, especially in this case. For some extra details, here are some good mentions. The book, produced in 1886, had more evidence that Alan had committed the Appin Murder than the movie! Also, the plot and timing of character scenes were off. One example was when Davie asked the woman in the book where the House of Shaws was, in the movie it was a man! Also, in the book, the woman had hatred for the House of Shaws, when in the movie he had no hatred that would of made the movie slightly more…

    I think it is very important to make changes in the movies from the book because usually in books they are so descriptive to the point where some stuff aren’t that important or just too expensive to have in movies. With books you have to describe a lot to really paint a picture in someone’s mind, but in movies it will show you the really important parts from the book to really make up the movie and the whole plot, and without the plot it isn’t really based on the…

    Blind Side

    Another noticeable change in the movie verses the book was the emphasis on the different characters. The main character was indisputably Michael Oher in both the book and the movie. However, the movie put a strong emphasis on Leigh Anne Touhy (who was played by Sandra Bullock) and presented her as the second most major character aside from Michael. The book, on the other hand, had a lot more facts about Sean that the movie never presented. Leigh Anne was a key player in both, but in the movie, she seemed to be so much more of a main character that the other characters that stood out in the book did not do so in the movie. The major example of that was Sean Touhy who seemed to be the first one to invest in Michael in the book unlike the movie where he played a more quiet and uninvolved role in Michael's life. There were other subtle differences that could be noticed, like having the necessary GPA for an NCAA scholarship be 2.5 (movie) instead of 2.56 (book) which led to another problem to work around, or having Michael's fight be with the gang members in his old neighborhood (movie) instead of with one of his teammates at Ole Miss (book). Overall, however, the movie attempted to portray an accurate account of the book which made it enjoyable to read and watch both.…

    Capote

    Every so often, when a book is turned into a movie the movie has many differences from the text. These differences are usually made by the director to make the story more attractive to the audience in an attempt to get more people to see it. The most common difference found in a movie is a intensifying of mood. For example, when a scene is supposed to activate a certain emotion from the viewer it is necessary to bring attention to the causes of said emotion. Dialogue and the visual representations of certain scenes set a tone for the story that may be different from the text. The writers and the director of the movie may choose to remove certain scenes; this overlaps with the theme of building the mood. This happens numerous times in the movie Capote. Certain themes or elements are present in the movie that are not stated or described in the book and vice-versa.…

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…

    first, the characters could visually be seen eliminating any plot holes that the reader may have falsely perceived. For example, the reader may have envisioned an inactive character to not be in the scene and when they were mentioned it could be throw the reader off. Moreover, the reader could confuse the characters names because they have no visual reference to associate them with. Second, the characters had more personality expressed because they weren’t limited to being described by words. Furthermore, they were able to express moods and facial expressions visually. On the other hand, the book would have to describe these details. Finally the characters could express body language better than than in the book. The book was limited to only the use of words to describe what was going on, the movie was not making it easier for characters to express their reactions to…

    Whenever you read a book and then go watch the movie, most of the time they don’t follow the same events in the same order. Just like in the myth “Perseus” and the movie, Clash of the Titans, the event are not all the same and some of the causes of the events are not the same either. Different things happen in the movies that are not even close to some of the things in the myth. These differences can either make the story better or just make it less interesting.…
