    There seems to be nothing better than a good book or a good movie. If that is the case then how come there never seems to be a good movie based on a book? Could it be because there was not any actor who could match the description of the character perfectly? Maybe it was because there was so much information in the book they were able to take away a few details to help with time management for the movie. However, there is a difference to editing for time management and changing the storyline.…

    Hamlet then responds saying that he acknowledges what she says. However, she goes on to ask how the death of the king is any different from others that have happened before (Shakespeare 1.2.75) which gives evidence of her lack of grief despite the fact that her husband died. All these instances show the unexpected way in which Gertrude acted following her beloved husband’s death. During this time, she did not comfort her son and nor understand his immense grief that Hamlet says paled in comparison to what his mother saw in the clothing alone (Shakespeare 1.2.76-86). Instead, Gertrude tried to get him to move on in a manner that betrayed the love that was between spouses.…

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.…

    In both Crime and Punishment and Chronicle, it is obvious to draw parallels between the novel’s protagonist, Raskolnikov, and the movie’s protagonist, Andrew: both males are isolated by society, for which they are a contributing factor; both harbor a deep resentment against those around them; and both of them commit a violent act that ultimately marks their doom. The beginning exposition of both the novel and the movie spends a significant amount of time emphasizing the protagonists’ loneliness. The very first page of the novel describes Raskolnikov as someone who is “completely absorbed in himself, and isolated from his fellows;” in the same way, the movie begins in Andrew’s dingy room and shows him friendless as he gets bullied for his camera (Dostoevsky 1). As the storyline progresses, however, it is evident that these characters are not completely helpless victims;…

    Movies convey their emotions by hearing and by the picture, thanks to the great sound and visual effects the details seem more real. However, a movie projects one main picture that can be somehow limiting to the spectator, who, will not think any further to what is depicted on the screen.

Nevertheless, books are not just bunch of letters and words, books make the reader capable of expanding their imagining capacities. Usually, after reading a book, there are countless ways to interpret the story and details, thanks to the lack of visual limitations.…
