For decades, popular novels have been published and years later followed with a film. Although the movie tends to portray imagery, the course of events in the book tend to contrast to those of the film. This became abundantly clear when I read the book and watched the movie, The Natural. In both the novel and the film, we learn about the life of a baseball player named Roy Hobbs, who was born with a talent and was given the ability to pursue his goal of life. Although his mindset was determined to break all the records in the game, many obstacles stood in his path ultimately skewing his priorities and driving him towards a path only ending with failure.…

Outsiders: Movie v. Book S.E. was in high school when she wrote the book the Outsiders . Also fun fact about the movie is the scripts were taken right out of the book.

While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the ( book ) was more effective in telling the story.…
Author S.E. Hinton got the idea for the book, The Outsiders, when she was mad about the little situations going about her high school. Everyone would be in their own little groups and wouldn’t be friends with anyone but the group. Since she has written the book on these problems, Hinton has sold over 14 million copies and it has been made into a movie. In the book, there were many details on what Ponyboy, the main character, was thinking. It was more of what he was thinking than dialogue.…
Introduction: My favorite quote throughout the entire story was when Johnny told Ponyboy when he was dying to “Stay gold, Ponyboy… Stay gold.” The meaning of the word “stay gold” was to tell you to stay innocent for as long as you could. My opinion of the book was that the book was good, but it would give too much information for parts that were not important. My opinion of the movie was that it did a good job of just getting to the important parts of the story.…

I decided to take a different approach to my critical film review. “Inside Out” is a recently new film that does not actually have an identified therapist or client. However, the main themes of the movie have many parallels to the content that we have been learning in class. “Inside Out” is a Disney Pixar movie that brings to life the five emotions (Joy, Anger, Disgust, Fear, and Sadness) of 11-year-old Riley. Life is seemingly going smoothly for Riley and her emotions.…
