There wasn’t much narration on what Bella was feeling internally. This was shown when she was doing dangerous things just to “hear and see” Edward telling her to stop. In the novel she was telling herself to keep being dangerous and Edward was just a voice. In the movie Edward’s whole body is shown and Bella isn’t narrating everything she’s doing and why. The pain that Bella feels when Edward abandons her is extremely well written and is really what this story is about.
The movie does grasp the basic story line of the novel but is sadly has limitations and weaknesses. The movie has altered many characteristics of Quoyle. In the movie, he appears to be dull and does not fit with everything described in the book. This makes the story less tragic and less extreme. Quoyle originally has two daughters in the novel, Sunshine and Bunny.
Probably because, despite all the radical social changes that have taken place since Jane Austen's time, people haven't really changed all that much. It has been argued that Jane Austen's novels all have the same plot; on a superficial level, there is a germ of truth to that argument. However, the true greatness of Jane Austen's work lies not in the basic stories but in the ironic and occasionally bitchy cultural observations that suffuse those plots and bring them to life. Scriptwriter and director Amy Heckerling has followed admirably Jane Austen's example by making a film that, on the surface, seems like another mindless teen flick but is actually a multi-layered social commentary. She took Austen's novel Emma, the story of a spoiled child of the 19th century English leisure class who thinks she knows everything, and turned it into the film Clueless, the story of a spoiled child of the 20th century American leisure class who thinks she knows everything.
Apocalypse Now (I apologize for the length, but this movie was absolutely amazing in how it made me appreciate something I previously hated, and I was truly moved to write in this length about it.) Unfortunately, upon watching Apocalypse Now, I was compelled to compare the movie to Heart of Darkness, a book that honestly I did not enjoy reading. However, I was pleased to see that Mr. Coppola merely took inspiration from the book, and in fact in a rather intelligent and powerful manner. I don’t like to call the movie “entertaining” given how uncomfortable it made me, but I did enjoy the movie regardless, and it was powerful enough to give me plenty to talk about. The movie contained a number of allusions to the book, such as a first-person narrator who is deeply affected by his experience (Marlow in Heart’s Africa and Willard in Now’s Vietnam) and a character named Kurtz who is worshipped like a god by the natives.
Also, Andy has a secret agenda to see if he can put a spark in his mom’s romantic life by possibly crossing paths with an old flame of hers. Going into this movie, I didn’t have very high expectations which probably explains why I was pleasantly surprised. The Guilt Trip is far from a cinematic masterpiece but it has its tender moments that most anybody can relate to. My favorite aspect of this movies is how it didn’t shy away from the moments of sadness or regret. It’s easy for actors to stage pratfalls and speak profanity.
I do not like how she criticizes everything about others and attacks people by putting them down all the time, but I was still curious to find out what this book was all about. Unfortunately, this book did not change my opinion of the author and the message she sends to her readers and viewers. I Hate Everything Starting With Me is crudely humorous. Her signature sarcasm starts on the first page. It is just one of those books that when you read it in public, you start laughing out loud, and people give you some weird looks
Brandon FLOGGNAW 4/28/14 Period 1 ENG 9 R+J Movie Compare/Contrast Pros and Cons The two Romeo and Juliet movies were very unique and creative. The two movies were very different but still stayed true to the original play. The two movies barely changed to much in the movie, but they did still add a few things here and there. The two movies were very good, they were both very good adaptions of the original play. Even though the movies were very good adaptions, the movies did changes some things whether it was text or scenery.
The narrators constantly accepted events that could not have possibly happened in the real life world. They accepted these peculiarities without the slightest amount of shock and astonishment, like it was an everyday thing. Placida Linero, who is Santiago Nasar'smother is a prime example of superstition within the novel. The quote, "She had a well earned reputation as an accurate interpreter of other people's dream, provided they were told to her before eating, but she hadn't notice any ominous augury in those two dream of her son's" conveys that Santiago's character also represents the element of magical realism in the novel. The statement, " Nor did Santiago Nasar recognize the omen" not only reveals his superstition, but also the common faith put in superstition.
The animation movie is literally identical to the comic book, whether it’s the plot, art, or dialogue, everything is taken right out of the comic making the tiniest of changes. Despite this I found the comic much more effective than the animated smovie in many aspects. Although they both used the same art, for some weird reason I found the book to be more entertaining (not as expected). I guess it might just be that the art was more suited for the flow of the book (after all that was the artist’s initial intention). On the other hand the fighting/action scenes seemed to shine in the movie version probably due to the quick movements and also the addition of music was a positive for the
Others might say a movie is better because the movie does the interpretating for them. A reader who has seen a movie version of her favorite book would say "I liked the book better." That's because while reading a book the reader is or has already made a movie version in their head. When you read a book you have the freedom to decide how you would imagine the characters, setting, location and mood. Janie's auburn red hair can look one way to me but look another way to another person.
