Novel to Film #2
For my second novel to film assignment I read the book and watched the movie Jaws. The book was wrote by Peter Benchley in February in the year of 1974. The movie was directed by Steven Spielberg. The movie was released in in 1975 and it was a crazy hit in the box office. Jaws is about a woman who was killed by a ginormous shark. She was swimming in the ocean and this shark came up beneath her and killed her. They wanted to close the beaches down so no one else would get killed by this beastly shark. They are afraid that that will make tourists not want to come anymore so they don't close the beaches. They hired three men to try and kill this huge shark.

A young boy by the name of Alex Kintner and a senior Lady who's name wasn't known. In the movie there was no senior lady, the only one to die was Alex. I wish they would have but that lady in the movie as well because I feel it would have made the movie better.
Another difference that I have is in the book Brody and his wife have three boys, their names were Billy, Martin Jr, and Sean. In the movie they only had two boys by the names of Mike and Sean. I'm not sure why they only had two boys in the movie but I didn't care for that.
One of the biggest differences between the book and the movie are in the book Ellen is very unhappy with her marriage and her and Brody fight a lot in the book so she decides to have an affair with Matt hooper to try to make her feel better like she did before she married Brody. In the movie there was no affair and they never really fight in the …show more content…
In the book the hunters go home at night empty handed instead of staying out at sea during night time. It makes the book more relaxing. I think that was a bad idea for the book because I think that if they would of kept the hunters out there it would have built a bigger climax.
In the movie Matt goes down in a cage underwater to try to kill the shark and the shark breaks the cage and Matt escapes barley. In the book the shark demolished the cage and then eats Matt. So he does in the book at that point. I think that in the movie he should have died as well because it doesn't make sense for a ginormous shark to get stuck in a small little cage. If I were the shark I would've just ate
