A Separate Peace: Comparing the Movie and Novel The movie A Separate Peace is different from the novel in a few ways, however still stuck the main plot of the novel. Many scenes were altered in the making of the film that were different in the book. The movie did leave out a few things such as characters and added a few things as well. The book did lack many interesting aspects, but were made up within the movie. The difference between the feeling of the schools in the movie and book are significant.
I. Introduction | Often times when a movie is made based on a book, it doesn’t capture all that the book says. In several movies the main story line deviates from that of the book, sometimes on purpose, sometimes on accident. The play The Diary of Anne Frank and the film Anne Frank: The Whole Story are similar because they both have the families hiding in the annex and different because they have different characters but the film is more affective because it shows more detail about the camps. | II.
A lot of things could have been handled differently if only Hitch and Sara have communicated better. One fight they had could have been avoided if they would have just communicated. It takes them awhile to talk things out and communicate. At the end of the movie they did end up communicating together and working things out. I believe that communication is very important in a relationship.
Movie has some elements of the book but some events are changed. Frist the characters don’t really look how they are described in the book, the book is a lot better. Second, the movie just annoyed me because the left out some of the minor details. Third, there is a bus scene in the movie that I didn't recall in the book.
The original version of Fahrenheit 451 was worse than I thought it would be. There were so many differences. The characters that played were, to me, not like the characters in the book. This movie is suppose to be “the near future,” and from watching the movie, none of the scenes seemed like the “future.” I was expecting for the movie to flow along with the characters in the book, and for the future to be the future. In the book I think there were a lot of strengths more weaknesses.
On the other hand, films Rated R can still be seen by people under the age of 17 with parental consent. Another harsh reality of having a film rated NC-17, is that they are also not allowed for rental by many major movie rental companies such as blockbuster. It is not a secret that the MPAA censors sexual content in movies more heavily over blood and gore in horror movies but it is surprising on how they censor homosexual sex. When it comes to homosexuality on the big screens, MPAA tends to give harsher ratings than movies with heterosexual acts. Although there are many opposing view points towards sexual acts in the movies, homosexuality should not be treated any differently than heterosexuality.
The same thing happens to Into the Wild. While these differences don’t make the movie bad, it produces a different type of McCandless. There are not just differences, but also many similarities between the book and the movie. The most significant difference that can be seen between the movie and the book is that the movie tries to incorporate a relationship between Chris McCandless and other people. The book is more of an autobiography of Chris taken from the notes and letters he wrote.
Many of the differences were throughout the film so they could prolong the story. Joyce Carol Oates’ short story, “Where are you going, Where have you been” was made into a film called, Smooth Talk written by Tom Cote with many changes applied. Many of them made the film better but then there were the ones that took away from the short story. Even though those changes were applied it
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge: * An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge Story and Movie Comparison. Though the film version of An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge is very accurate when compared to the short story version, there were aspects of the story that were missing from the film. For example, the second chapter of the short story which explains why Peyton Farquhar was being hung in the first place is not even alluded to in the film. If there is not a reason for Farquhar’s execution, the story would be more confusing for the audience who has not read the short story. However, the lack of an explanation can make the story more personal because it is left up to the audience to make their own assumptions as to why he is being hung.
Throughout the film version of Proof, what happens to Catherine is very similar to what happens to her in Auburn’s play. However, the movie is different from the play because it shows the characters in a different light, it takes place in many different settings, and it adds more scenes than the play does. The story lines between the play and the movie have different plots, characters, scenery, and music/sound effects. You will want to read the play to get the best scenario, and leave the movie for the ones who really do not appreciate reading. First of all, the plot of the movie was somewhat similar to the play.
