Compare And Contrast Dally And Dally

Decent Essays
The overall performance of the movie in my opinion was very well. The movie had explained itself very well and had very lots scenes of what I had imagined in my mind from the book. The movie of course does not have some of the special effects that we have now but for 1983 it is a very well done movie. The movie had also had very good music that goes with the scenes. The movie had very good transitions. The movie had tricked you and you had never expected a certain scene to happen for example when Johnny stabs Bob and when Dally gets shot.

Occasionally the music gives away the scenes to quickly it gives a spoiler alert. The characters had matched their descriptions in the book. Dally was described very well for how bad he was. Some of

    This made it excellent because this made me predict what would happen next and to ask questions to myself like: Is he going to survive? Is he going to die? When? How? It enhanced the book by making me “dig” beneath…

    Where as I normally end up arguing against why a film should be considered a horror film, this time I'm going other way and argue why Lightning Bug is a Horror film. As I stated in Horror, My Definition, a Horror film is a film that used dread and horror, while trying to evoke negative emotions. Lightning Bug does that for me, upon first viewing I wasn't that impressed and disregarded is horror elements. Instead focusing on how its a Coming of Age Drama. But after viewing the film never really settled and has passed through my mind on several occasions and when I reflect on the film it's dark and haunting undertones that remain.…

    He maintained the integrity and elements of the story that inflicted suspense and impacted the reader and translated them through film. The major difference between the film and the story is the length of time it takes to tell it and the order of events. The story gives you exactly what you need to know, every detail is important to the comprehension of the story. The film adds a bit of filler information, elaborating on events. The actors who portray the characters are appropriately selected and enhance the visual side of the account.…

    It was a good movie because Mr. Sir was funny, he made our class laugh and I liked the part when they opened the treasure and got lots of money, it was a good climax to the movie. For the book, I give it a nine out of ten because it had lots of action when the warden stabbed Armpit and made him bleed. When the Warden hit Mr. Sir in his face and they found the treasure it did not cost as much in the book. I enjoyed reading the book…

    First off, from the beginning, the movie was very confusing. From the start, many characters just showed up without introduction, so sometimes I was stuck guessing who people were until I caught on. Along with that, the time period kept switching from past to present, which also added to the confusion. I also did not catch on that Pitt was dying until the very end because of this. Some parts were long and dragged on, which caused my attention to go in and out.…

    This also changes my view towards certain things like the part where Alby dies so that the Gladers could escape but in the movie it showed us that Alby was just killed. This makes me think differently about a character. This made him an important figure in the book but not in the movie. Like if someone dies for something you remember him but if they just die, they aren’t remembered for that long. People wouldn’t talk about them if they just naturally died.…

    Often movies are made out of blockbuster books. Sometimes the movies do a good job of capturing the most important moments from the book and presenting them in the movie. Unfortunately, some movies do not always accurately depict the books they represent with full details. There are many reasons why a movie depiction of a book fails not least of which is because they are only given a couple of hours to tell the whole story in the book. A book is able to go in depth with the character’s emotions and experiences while a movie based on the book is limited by the length of the film.…

    Ironically due to the storyline; the book is better than the movie, because it is shows better description, character analysis, and it gets the point across to the reader to show what leads up to the main idea. While, the movie it is more vague and fast paced so it's hard to comprehend the storyline. The book is more illustrative than the movie. For example, the…

    A YouGov survey shows that 45% percent of surveyors prefer the book to the movie, 32% find them equally as good, 5% prefer the movie, and 9% don’t read the book. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle follows the mystery of the murder of Sir Charles Baskerville from the point of view of Dr. Watson, the admirable companion of Sherlock Holmes, a master of deduction. The 2002 BBC movie adaptation, directed by David Attwood, follows the same story, but both major and minor plot details differ as well as the characters. Comparing The Hound of the Baskervilles book to the movie, the two differ in development, details, and events, and characters, along with their traits, which supports the survey data showing a book's superiority…

    It seems an unfair view to expect a movie about a book to be exactly the same down to every single detail. Communities of fans will always find something wrong with a story, for it has “failed” to match expectation. Books are a place where someone can be dragged into the story and forget about everything else for a short while. Movies do the exact same thing, except it is seen as an easier way than books for a lot of people. Ignoring obvious differences (such as the fact that one is in picture form, and the other is in words), movies and books may not be so different after all.…
