Film Study Compare/Contrast Essay While the book and movie version of Jurassic Park had its similarities and differences, I preferred the movie better because I felt like the visuals, music, and sound effects just made me feel like I was right there with the characters. There were a lot of similarities and differences in the movie and the book. I think that one of the most important similarities between the book and movies was that Dennis Nedry used the same bug he did in the movie as well as the book. Dennis Nedry could have easily put in another bug that could have either been way worse or not as bad. The bug probably wasn't changed because if they did then it would cause major changes like maybe you couldn't put the same bug on one type of computer but you …show more content…
In the movie Allen, Ellie, John, Lex, Tom, and Malcolm get off the island on a helicopter with a happy ending and a sunset. In the book, they are found by soldiers and are taken in a helicopter and there are only the kids Malcolm Ellie and Allen. Hammond is killed by compsognathus. “As they did, Grant looked back just once, and saw the island against a deep purple sky and sea, cloaked in a deep mist that blurred the white-hot explosions that burst rapidly, one after another, until it seemed the entire island was glowing, a diminishing bright spot in the darkening night.”(334) The whole island gets napalmed and so the movies didn't blow the island up because they were going to make sequels. Like they used the begging of the Jurassic Park book in the second movie, and in the third movie, they used the pterodactyls from the book. Then they made Jurassic world, and in Jurassic Park 2: The Fallen Kingdom the island doesn't get napalmed instead it has the island's volcano blow up. This is why I think that this is the most important difference between the book and
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.
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.
his meal. The man recognized the tail and shot the monkey, so he could retrieve
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.
Despite having many differences the film remains faithful in capturing the novel and putting on film. While one may not get everything from the movie as from the book, the majority of it is there. So for die hard fans of the book there is no need for disappointment. All the main parts of the book are there, the characters, the plot, the setting
The book and movie are completely different. It 's like comparing apples and oranges. (I 'm assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce). The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book, but he is never a large character.
The Odyssey movie and book had many differences and similarities. This story is very interesting and it was even more beautiful seeing it in a movie. I wish that the movie and book were more alike than they were. The book had way more detail than the book in my opinion. I'm gonna list some of the similarities and differences i noticed watching and reading this story.
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
Some things are different in the book and movie. Like Sunset Towers and Money in both versions. Sunset towers is luxurious in the book but a bad place to live downtown. The money the will was worth 200 million but in the movie it is worth 20 million. Another difference is that the Wexlers moved to Sunset Towers because they had no money, but in the book they moved because they had money. In the movie Jake Wexler is paying off his debt though they have money in the book. Jake Wexler is a
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
In conclusion, there are many differences between the Divergent movie and the Divergent book. These have some similarities though. When you are deciding whether to read the book or watch the movie first, it is best to look into the features that go into each Divergent
The novel and the movie share many similarities.The book and the novel share the same problems. A example johnny and pony run away since johnny killed bob.In both johnny gets injured badly and dies.
There is a big difference between the book and the series or movie. We did a little research and came out with these differences.
Finally there are lots of differences between the book and the movie. They also show that the movie was a lot weaker then then the book. I can see the movies aren't always better than the books. The books go more into detail than the movie. I enjoined the movie because it is more visual. The book was a little
Jurassic Park is an American authorization centered on a catastrophic endeavour to create theme park of emulated dinosaurs who escapes imprisonment and riot on the human characters. In 1990, Universal Studios bought the rights of the novel, written by Michael Crichton, followed by the release of the movie adaption in 1993. Science versus ethics, the main theme of the film, is very polemical and not commonly argued by the media, making the film even more appealing. Steven Spielberg successfully creates a cliff hanger making the viewer entertain and thrilled. To create the unendurable suspense, Steven Spielberg has used different type of shots and angles, colours and light and acting, which all contributed to build the tension in the movie.
