The book of the Westing Game is all about mystery and drama. As you read the book at first it is confusing to tell who is who but as you read on it becomes clearer and you start to get addicted to reading it. Once you finish the book usually you’d watch the movie. Once you watch the movie it is clear that you can tell what the differences are between the book and the movie. First and foremost you can see that there aren’t as many characters as there is in the book. The lack of characters made it confusing to tell who the partners were. Not only, did the pairs get switched up but and there was also a change in personality in some of the characters including Chris. All in all there were many things different about the book compared to the movie. …show more content…
For instance, Flora made the book feel sweet and nice as you read it but in the movie Crow played that part in the movie. But since there wasn’t as many characters the pairs were also switched up. For me, it made things more confusing at the beginning to understand the plot but as the movie went on eventually I figured out that the characters who I know and love were not there. Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom. This not only caused a lot of drama but more depth to the plot. Also, Crow didn’t go to jail but they did talk about most of the consequences of her going to jail. This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go. Ultimately the book was fantastic but the movie wasn’t as far as good in my personal opinion. It was one of the best books I’ve had ever read. At first it goes slow but as you get to know the characters and the plot you get addicted to the book and can’t stop reading in a good
Instead, they added events to the movie that never happened in the book, and some of the events that occurred in the book, never occurred in the movie. For instance, in the novel, Owen dies a lieutenant, and in the movie, he dies as a boy. Also, in the movie, Simon speaks out loud during Mass and gets punished by the reverend. This never happened in the novel. I liked that the movie shows how powerful Owen and John’s friendship was; you could really tell they cared about each other.
For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.
Following on to why the book is more superior than the movie. The persuasion of the fact that the novel was better, is that the story line was a little bit slower, and easier to follow along in the Flipped book. This is easy to realize when watching the movie. They had rushed along a few things, then backtracked. For a representation, some words were repeated two or three times
One example is there wasn’t a secret room in the greenhouse in the book were Lina and Doon hid from the guards. Another difference is in the book they don’t find and use Doon’s dad’s machine to get through the tunnel to the opening. One really important difference is that in the movie the way out is much more complicated and long. These differences were important because the secret room in the greenhouse helped them hide from the guards and not get caught. Doon’s dad’s machine is an important difference because it tells us that he was trying to escape with Lina’s dad. The way out in the movie was more complicated is important because it adds more action in the movie and makes the movie
The first major difference between the movie and the book is how quickly the movie reveals some of the flaws of the main character Socrates Fortlow. In fact the movie starts with Socrates appearing
The 3 major differences that were seen are the shattering of the conch, the pilot’s presence, and Ralph’s attitude towards Piggy. Due to these major differences the novel left a greater impact on its readers than the movie on its viewers. Seeing the movie and as well reading the book, personally the book was a better. The book has a very different approach of that showed these 3 major differences to their full extent. Out of the two though, I would choose the book as more pleasant and
Both share the same plot, and there are very little differences between the two. These are a few of the differences that I was able to notice between the book and the movie. There are several others throughout the story, but they are all just as minute and in the end they have no effect on the outcome of the story. Overall, I was very impressed with the movie and it was very true to the book. I have seen my share of movies that were adaptations from books that did not do the book justice, but this one is almost exactly like the book, so it was very
They went through the roof. There were so many differences in the movie. I was able to see it visually and mentally my head. It helped me understand what was going on in the movie. In Addition the movie was a lot better. It was so much better than the book. There were more details than ever in the movie than in the
When we saw the movie and the book and saw the movie, there were a couple of thing that they did not mention or did in the movie. In the movie they cut out some thing from the book. They did not really put everything they said in the book into the movie. They also did not really get some people personal feature. Here are something that were different from the movie, than what it said from the book.
For instance, the book talks about how the greasers felt and how their feelings were, then in the movie, it didnt talk about it but it showed it. The way that they showed it was not as good as it was written. When reading we don't fall in love with the characters' appearance. We fall in love with their words, their thoughts, and their hearts. We fall in love with their soul. In movies we focus more on appearance and what's going on in the background, which then gets people distracted from what the character is feeling and their thoughts. On the other hand, you can see the actions of the characters in the movie, which might help you process the way they act, however with the book the author can use what he thinks and try to give people a general idea of everything. For an example in the book it talks about how Randy
The book tells the same story as the movie but in a different way it cuts out thing the movies has or the movies adds thing that's not in the book. The book has some not many similar but . I feel the director was unfaithful to the book.The book and movie version of Our America had many differences.
When watching the film, the first difference the viewer can see between the book and the movie is how the characters are portrayed. A notable example would be Carlson. In the film,
The relationships with the characters are different in the book and movie, but makes the movie and book both enjoyable. The relationships are different in the book and movie. It was a refreshing change seeing the differences between the book and movie. If you're going to read the book or watch the movie, do
Although the movie and the book are very similar, there are noticeable differences that capture the audience's attention. If the reader was very attentive, they would notice that there is a willow tree outside of Skeeter’s house, but in the book this tree was not there. They might also notice that even though the main characters are the same, other characters are very different. For example, Charlotte Phelan, Skeeter’s mother, has a more positive attitude at the end of the movie, whereas in the book she remained hateful. One scene in particular, which demonstrates her changed attitude, is when Hilly shows up and Charlotte stands up for Skeeter. In the book, she just goes to bed. These slight changes are important because they make the viewer
One major difference in the movie that was not in the book was the starting scene of the movie was set in the moor with Sir Charles being attacked by the Hound. In the book the starting scene
