Also, when he’s down by the river, in the movie, George finds him in the water. But in the book, George has trouble finding him right away, but he was still in the brush and not in the river. Then, when George shot Lennie in the back of the head at the end of the movie, no one comes to find him. In the book, Slim, Curley, and Carlson find George immediately after he shoots Lennie. They believe that George did in an act of self-defense.
This book was made into a movie by Andrey Konchalovskiy. They both explain the great story of Odysseus and they both share and have a lot of similarities and differences. Reading the poem and then watching the movie is a really good way to compare and contrast “The Odyssey” and helps you understand much better what it is about. “The Odyssey” is a story about a god, Odysseus, who lived in Ithaca. The initial pages of the poem talk about Odysseus and his men at sea, finding their way out of Sparta after the war.
These moments of taxing inspiration are rarely recognized until their originators have faced extensive hardship or even passed away. English author George Eliot addressed this phenomenon metaphorically when she wrote, “the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.” This quote might well have been the inspiration for Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s short story “A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings: A Tale for Children,” wherein an angel arrives in a small crab-fishing village only to be scoffed at for failing to meet the villagers’ preconceived notions of what an angel should be. In the work, Marquez conveys the theme that mankind’s arrogance and preconceptions make them blind to miracles they do not understand. He illustrates both the religious and aesthetic preconceptions and biases of mankind, and expresses a skepticism their ways will change by authoring the story as a “tale for children” (1). The preconceptions which initially and most explicitly are conveyed in his story are those surrounding religion, in particular Christianity.
In the movie the boys come all together on a boat to the island and are familiar with each other. The filmmakers probably did this to show how joined they are in the beginning of the book and civilized. I think that the book's opening is more effective because it shows how Ralph and Piggy already have a connection even before the group comes. Another thing the movie lacks is that the beast is a dead parachuter who gets caught in the trees. In the movie, the beast or "monster" is the crazy pilot who ran away and hid in a cave.
My favorite scene of both the play and film was where Linda kept getting cut off by Willy and I felt it was very humorous. One difference I noticed is that the movie seemed to focus more on Willy losing his mind rather than his American Dream which was more the focus in the play. Another difference is I expected Willy to be bigger as expressed in the play. However, in the movie Willy was smaller. I had hoped the relationship between Biff, played by John Malkovich, and Willy was clearer.
The apartment establishment is named, “Sea Oak,” it is ironic to actual living conditions in which Aunt Bernie and the family lives in and is going through. The place they live in is not what the name signifies, but rather the opposite of what the name implies. George Saunders provides a visual of their living conditions where he states, “ad hoc crack house in the laundry room and last week Min found some brass knuckles in the kiddie pool”(4). Between the gang violence, Sanders writes, “I hear a shot,” “troys walker got hit,” “we should be thankful” ( ). Aunt Bernie mentioned to be thankful that no one got shot, but a (toy duck’s face got shot).
When Ken Kesey’s One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest was made into a movie, the important element that was kept by the director, Milos Forman, was the cruelty of the ward. However, Forman chose to present the element with different techniques than Kesey. Kesey presents the cruelty through the usage of Chief Bromden’s inner thoughts and flashbacks while Forman presents it primarily through facial expressions and dialogue. Although the techniques used by Forman to show the cruelty of the ward are different from those of Kesey, he showed the element effectively, enabling the viewer to fully understand the position the patients are in. From the novel, One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the most important element that is kept by Forman is the cruelty of the ward.
In the painting, the focus is on the farmer plowing his field, while in the corner one can see the legs of Icarus drowning in the sea. Auden and Williams were both impressed with how Brueghel portrayed this famous Greek myth about Icarus. Icarus was obsessed with the idea of flying, but found his death in the water. Brueghel almost waters down Icarus’ demise, focusing more on the everyday life of a simple farmer, fisherman, and a shepherd. In order to draw attention to Icarus, William states, "Unsignificantly/ off the coast /there was/ a splash quite unnoticed".
Ritchie used many new tools with special techniques as graphic design that made the movie fancier. However, he forgot that the visual of the movie is still a component creating the plot. At the beginning, audiences can see the colors in the movie were faint and the boring blue light; it was happened throughout of the movie. In King Arthur movie, the Ritchie draws some quick and intelligent warning strings here; he does not want to communicate or tell the story in the usual way, so he has found a way to convey a lot of information very quickly, taking an aggressive approach to providing background information and never slip into the grave. To compare to "The Sword in the Stone'', Talbot brings the readers to the first of the story that make audiences have a clear look of the main plot points of the story.
