Consequently, the film diverted from the books plot, particularly in the resolution. The director of Grapes didn’t follow the traditional dramatic structure noticeable in most plots; there is no clear cut climax or resolution. The film does this because the point of Grapes is to illustrate the general day to day struggles that the Okies faced. With this in mind, the director did not want to create a dramatic story with a climax, but rather a portrait of the Joad family’s life during the time they moved. As far as character development, the film does a good job staying true to the characters in the book.
The nature of Eyre’s encounters with Rochester are particularly emphasised in both films, drawing from the novel. However, the two films take vastly different approaches to the filming. Zeffirelli presents their first encounter in a wide, open setting; a road cutting through the moors. Contrasting to the novel, in which Eyre and Rochester’s meeting was portrayed as taking place in an intimidating forest, results in a loss of its sense of danger, mysterious qualities, and particularly a sense of Eyre’s vulnerability in the setting, and her defiance against the intimidation, “I cannot think of leaving you, sir, at so late an hour, in this solitary lane, till I see you are fit to mount your horse.” Fukunaga, comparatively, establishes their meeting in a dark, sombre forest, emphasising Eyre’s small stature against the massive trees, and her fear through the mysterious and dangerous cadences of the background music. His wild black steed, along with his height difference also conveyed in the novel as he leans upon Jane Eyre, highlights the tall, dark nature of Mr Rochester.
Opposite of a book is a movie. In a movie you see and accept the story, characters, and setting the way director presents it to you. There were many noticeable significant differences between a book and a movie based on that same book. One can only see the difference, if you read and watch the movie. “Joe Gould’s Secret” is a nonfiction story written by Joseph Mitchell, and a movie based on this book is also called “Joe Gould’s Secret” directed by Stanley Tucci.
The First major difference between the book and the movie is the fact that the novel has so much more depth and details that cannot be put in a movie. The book has much more details about the Mohican tribe as well as the characters. For instance, in the Movie, the names of Uncas and Chingachgook are not mentioned. The book gives history on the Indian characters. This difference however is something that is unavoidable by the moviemakers.
The viewer does not get to know where these dogs come from or what they are. In summary, I would say that these differences for some people might be annoying if they have read the book first and after that watched the film. Then they might have the feeling that in the film many things are left out. But it is also understandable for me because in the film there cannot be mentioned all the details from the book because there
This R+J had very unique scenery, for example, one scene took place on a beach, and another by a pool, and none of these places were mentioned in the original play. Luhrmann took out swords, castles, and horses and to replace them, he used guns, houses, cars. The movie was true to the dialogue but not true to the original scenery. Even though Luhrmann made a huge change to the adaption, he made sure and do the right thing and not change the text from the original play. I think this adaption of the play was very good, and it gave the younger people a new way of seeing the play.
A common theme through Anil's Ghost is violence. Anil Tessera is symbolic of the Western audience, and the inability to understand the trauma due to postcolonialism. Through out the novel, Michael Ondaatjee uses different literary devices to describe trauma, and what it does to victims during civil wars. As a novel focused around historical strife, there is no mention of government and religious factions. Since there is no mention of key factors to point at Sir Lanka, readers are to take the novel as a commentary about several places that experienced post-colonial trauma.
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.
Perfume has many emphasising changes within the plot, many oversights and omissions of scenes from the film as well as sections from the novel; some obvious and large, others small and minor. The main purpose is due to the lack of time the film has, having to largely compress the timeline of ‘high important and major’ events, in order to signify and push forward the key concepts and main ideas from Tom Tykwer’s perspective in comparison to Suskind’s novel. The storyline in both book and film revolve around an unusual and original basis that captures and drags the reader/audience’s emotions, creating the feeling of obligation. The beginning of the film began with Grenouille enclosed and restricted in a jail cell- an event that was to happen much later during the timeline according to the storyline and novel. Director Tom Twyker chose to set the introduction of the film out this way as it created similar effect on the audience in comparison to the first paragraph of the book; it made you think to yourself how?
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.
