If you watched the movie and read the book you might think the same thing, you might not, but here are the reasons that I think the book is better even if the movie wasn’t that bad either. There was many similarities between the book and the movie. In the book and movie Johnny and Pony boy kill Bob and they run away to the
Holden has proven to hint at the idea that he has been a bit too much influenced by movies, which would most likely be a reason why Allie’s death was such a big deal. The movies have had a role in Holden’s life because they made him to believe that the protagonist or the “good” guy always miraculously survives dire situations, which made him believe that Allie would survive somehow through the leukemia. This idea was hinted towards when Holden was talking about how he felt after Maurice had punched him in the gut, Holden said that he was picturing himself going to the elevator, shooting Maurice, smoking a cigarette, and call up Janet to bandage him up. The idea of the “good” guy winning the battle is a very typical movie type of ending, which points to how influenced Holden is by the movies. The very same type of ending was seen when Holden recalled the movie he watched about the Englishman who had lost his memory and his response to it.
Also after watching it I did not had some deep feelings about any of the characters of the movie and I did not got anything learning from that movie. For some of people who loves movie just to relax they might love it. I was excepting from that movie that it will show maybe something about Indian person who will get education and make something different in his life, but it did not. Another thing that I still wonder is the name of the movie: Smoke Signals. My opinion is that in the begging of the film smoke showed the death and trouble for somebody.
There are many similarities and differences between Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King. Human beings have a tendency to have a morbid desire to explore the darker realms of life. As sensitive beings we make every effort to deny our curiosity in the things that frighten us, and will calmly reassure our children that there aren't any creatures under their beds each night, but deep down we secretly thrive on that cool rush of fear. This is why we slow down to look at car accidents, fires and find excitement in the macabre. We turn off the lights when watching scary movies, and when it’s time to go to bed, we secretly make sure the closet doors are shut.
The author quickly establishes his aversion towards noisemakers in movie theaters by calling himself the shusher. But before he becomes the shusher, he has a few steps to take.”My usual procedure is to start with a glare at the offender. Glares are unfortunately quite ineffective when the noisemakers sit in front of you.” The author continues on with what happens next when his previous steps happen to fail. One of his steps includes having an internal battle with himself. “I then usually undergo an internal struggle, asking myself, Who am I to set myself up as a policer of
Lennie was described as a huge monster in the book, so the thought was that he was completely out of the ordinary, but when I watched the movie Lennie was just big but he was not out of the ordinary. I felt that the movie was great and it was a lot better than the book. It made me understand things more than the book because it was a visual type of thing. It is horrible that their plan could not follow through and that George had to kill Lennie. The movie wasn’t as dramatic as the book, but I bet it still made an affect on different people.
kind of got over it as i got older. 8.19.09 If I were to choose and music group, then it would have to be Led Zepplin, or Black Sabbath. 8.20.09 Jeepers Creepers for sure. I was exposed to that movie at a young age and it kind of took a toll on me for about a year. I watched it with my older friends at the time and ever since then i get crap for being scared of jeepers creepers coming to get me at night if im a bad kid and stuff.
In the book the characters of Atticus, Jem, and Scout have you captivated. I did not enjoy the movie because it didn’t explain things as much as I would have liked it to. Also in the movie they did not show some of the scenes which occurred in the book and I believe that those scenes are important. Overall To Kill a Mockingbird is a good book that I really enjoyed
I’ve heard people refer to “The Notebook” as cheesy, as a ‘chick flick’ (a label very few of my colleagues can stand because of its negative connotation), as predictable and sappy. So “The Notebook” doesn’t exactly take a brain surgeon to guess how the story is going to play out. And it does unapologetically play on your emotions, practically begging you to squeeze out a few tears. But here’s why I enjoyed “The Notebook”: it’s a movie you can relax and let flow over you. It’s also one of the few films out there that tells a complete story.
I love Daniel Day-Lewis and his superb acting but I am not a big fan of Winona Ryder and they unfortunately cancel each other out to make a passable movie. As for representing the Salem Witch Trials, it seemed to stick with the story even though it had to dramatize and add love triangles to make sure the audience does not fall asleep. I learned much about the Salem Witch Trials, such as, that a man was hanged and not just women, and that another was pressed with stones until he died. I would consider it good history because it gives you the events and in order of which they happened. I would hope after seeing this film that the audience was intrigued with the lies, deceit, and hysteria that it showed and will go out and do their own research and not take any Hollywood historical film at face value.
