Have you ever watched a movie based on a book, but the movie was actually better? Movies that are based on books are commonly different from the original version. They have similarities but they also have multiple differences. “The Odyssey,” is an epic poem from Ancient Greece originally written by Homer and then translated by Robert Fitzgerald. This book was made into a movie by Andrey Konchalovskiy.
These two lines of action are eternally intertwined and entirely dependent on each other – the story’s plot will not reach one goal without reaching the other. While the film seems to be consistent with many of the elements that characterized classical Hollywood movies, there are also several aspects in which Possession departs from the classical system of narrative and style. The most obvious and withstanding constituent is the way that time is portrayed. The entire movie is, essentially, two movies that alternate when their scenes will be shown. Scenes jump from present-day London to scenes from a medieval English village but the separate stories each help to piece together parts of the other story.
The novel Lord of The Rings explores the concept of truth and perception through the experiences undertaken by the characters. The characters perception of people and environments are shown excessively throughout the novel. Many characters have perceived things which in reality are very different to their perception. These perceptions are not only for the characters but the reader as well, as they can also have many perceptions throughout reading through the novel. A reader will seldom find that his perception is correct in reality of the novel but that’s what makes the novel so interesting.
Both Oedipus the King and Minority Report use eyes as a motif, they both are tragedies, and they both have similar characters. These two works may look, at first glance, like two completely different performances. However, with closer analysis, it is clear, that they are very much alike. Spielberg’s Minority Report has many parallels to Oedipus the King, and among them are the use of eyes, and the tragic aspect to them both. However, they are slightly different, in that Spielberg had to make some adjustments to the plot in order to suit a more modern and tougher audience.
This critical analysis may attempt to explain how various techniques are used to make certain scenes or the whole film particularly effective while also interpreting the deeper levels of meaning through the critical analysis (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2011). Storytelling A film will start with a writer’s story, and the story will start with words on a page. The movie storytelling throughout history has begun with someone coming up with an idea and then communicating this idea to an audience while telling a story of interest. What is rarely thought of is where the movie really begins and that it is the same place as a novel or short story: with a writer staring at a blank page. There are many ways to tell a story, however, the function is the same: to tell a story in the most compelling way possible (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2011).
The Help: Similarities and Differences Between the Book and Movie Do you ever read a book and say you want to see the movie after, or how about the other way around? Just so you can see the words turn into pictures or the pictures turn into words. Your so excited until you watch it and parts are left out, or you read it and some events are described differently then how the movie shows it. But you are also left with the reassurance that some things do happen the same way for the sake of getting the same story, or point across. The Help by Kathryn Stockett and the movie, The Help, is a great example of a book and its movie having lot of differences but still having similarities where they are needed.
Holes: Book vs. Movie By: Brady Flynn The movie Holes followed the book so closely that it was hard to find some differences. There are some scenes in the movie that are reenacted almost word for word from the book; it felt like I could have watched the movie while following along in my book. Even details like the camper’s clothing (everything from their white shoes to their hats with neck-protecting flaps) were kept the same as what was described in the book. Although the movie and the book were very similar; the one major difference I could find was with Stanley’s physical appearance. In the book, Stanley is described as overweight, and he is often mistaken for a bully because of how large and commanding he seems.
I had hoped the relationship between Biff, played by John Malkovich, and Willy was clearer. The movie did show the distance between the two characters but it didn’t really define their failures. I expected Howard, played by Jon Polito, to be a lot younger and smaller in the movie. He was the total opposite which was bigger and bigger. All in all, Schlondorff did a great job directing and the actors did an even better job showing the personalities and emotions of each
Perfume. Although having a simple two syllable title, it is a rather intricate, entrancing and engrossing movement that is turned into both film and novel, that leaves the reader and watcher moved. Although the storyline of Perfume is the same in both movie and book there are many differences that are present and observed in both, some large, some small. These differences and similarities allow Perfume to capture an essence that is different in both book and film, major differences being listed below; these including: Omissions, Additions, Adaptions and Characterisations. 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.
