The Mind of a Director
Between 40 and 50% of movies are based on books, and most of the time it isn't always a great adaptation. Rob Stevenson was the director of the movie Johnny Tremain. After watching the movie I was able to spot severe differences from the book it was based on. This book was Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes. I believe that the director did a mediocre job of his portrayal of the book. I have come to this conclusion because many main characters were excluded, the story with Johnny’s hand was changed, and also Rab’s death never happened. So, why was the movie so drastically different from the book?
Dove, Madge, Dorcas, Isannah, and Lavinia. All major characters that were not included in the movie. Also, characters
