Of course, all books are more descriptive. What I liked about the movie is that they actually showed the dream Pony boy had and they also showed Dally robbing the grocery store; something the book doesn't tell. Both the book and the movie are great, and you should watch it, but the book is better. In conclusion as you can tell there are many differences, but there are also many things that are alike between the book and the movie. I enjoyed both the book and the movie, but personally I think the book was better, because the movie left some of the things out that the book had in it.
One of Travis’s movies that he showed us behind the scenes with is called “Never Give Up.” We were able to look into the making of his film and understand what Travis and his crew had to go through to build a 7 min video. Travis stated in the making of that the hardest part of filming was the attic, this was because of the lighting along with
The story structure and progression of “Exit Through the Gift Shop” was genius. The story starts out from the view of Thierry Guetta. Thierry takes an observational approach to his filming, standing back watching the street artists he follows put up posters, stickers, and paintings. He does this for many months before deciding that he wants to follow around Banksy which he ends up doing. Still, up to this point, the footage being used was that that had been filmed through the lens of Thierry’s camera, leading us to believe that this film was really a documentary about purely street art and artists.
Exit Through the Gift Shop: A Film Review “Exit Through the Gift Shop” is an experimental-type documentary that follows multiple street artists as they create their work around various cities in the world. This film is unusual in its format, giving it the eccentric twist that feels very fitting for this urban form of expression. This review of the aforementioned film will include the information shared within the documentary and after thoughts that were observed throughout the viewing of the movie. The film begins with an introduction to the wildly bizarre filmmaker, Thierry Guetta. Thierry is a very strange French man who moved to California to start his family.
In the essay “Of Losers and Moles: You Think Reality TV Just Writes Itself?” author Derrick Speight writes about his job as a reality TV writer. He begins by asserting that yes, even though it is reality television, there is indeed writers, directors and the same general group of people as a sitcom or any other television series. In describing the job, Speight (2005) says: While filming is taking place, writers keep track of all of the issues that may arise and anticipate which will yield the strongest narrative. Teams of us are on location, assigned to different characters. The uniform: a good pen, steno notepads, an audio monitoring device (to overhear comments and conversations), a digital watch, walkie-talkies and a comfortable pair
Twenge says, “reality TV is very popular, and it is supposed to how ‘real life’ and real behavior without the façade of fictionalized dialogue and story lines. But because reality TV stars are so narcissistic, it’s really a showcase for narcissistic behavior” (pg 7).
The film writers, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, supposedly based this film loosely on their personal experiences during their own awkward teenage years. Though I’m not sure how true this actually is, the film is excellently written. There is sensitivity in superbad that other teen movies such as American Pie don’t achieve, this gives the film heart. This is also the main reason that Superbad works so well, it gets away with being immature and crude by using well-written and well-acted parts to create a sense of vulnerability and loveable geeky awkwardness in the three main characters, who constantly attempt to appear cool and confident, particularly around their high school crushes, desperately fabricating stories, with hilarious
Even without seeing publicity material, the PG certificate and the choice of teen favourites Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder for lead roles evidently suggest that this is a film aimed at the teenage market. The casting of Vincent Price as the inventor is an allusion to the horror genre, a little joke which, unfortunately is appreciated by

Although the situation seems unrealistic, Love Don’t Cost a Thing successfully portrays the typical teenagers strive for popularity and the lessons learned when one loses sight of his or her own identity. At times, the scenarios in Love Don’t Cost a Thing seem unrealistic because of the very rare coincidences. How can a nerdy teenage boy have enough money to fix up a damaged car? How did Alvin happen to be at the car shop right when Paris Morgan pulls up? Although it seems as if the movie forces the deal between Paris and Alvin to happen, the point still comes across.
