Movie Analysis: Into Thin Air

Decent Essays
The book/movie into thin air is telling an experience of climbing Mount Everest. The book and movie are both interesting (somewhat) and the story is great. A lot of eventful things happen in both. And the truth is the book was better. Too bad the movie sucked right?
The book was better because it had more detail and I understood it more. It tells more and if I would have seen the movie before reading the book I wouldn’t have been as exiting. The movie was so boring. That’s why I fell asleep at times. The scrip did capture some good moments in the book but other than that didn’t really do the book justice.
The movie was better *at some moments* then the book. The movie helped me visualize the big moments that happened in the story. It also takes

    There are many differences between the movie and the book. One reason is the air raids were much worse in the movie. In the book there weren’t as many air raids, but when there were they weren’t nearly as bad as in the movie. Additionally, the movie has more scenes than the book. For example, the movie had two thief scenes when the book only had one.…

    In the book, however, it went into more detail about how distant she was with her father. In the end, both the book and the movie have many similarities and differences. In my opinion though, I like the book better than the movie, because it goes deeper with important details than the movie does. The main characters Julie and R’s character development doesn’t change the way their relationship turns out.…

    The theme that S.C. Hitin was saying in the book was Well it would stay gold and the meaning is that stay smart and never give up. Well some interesting fact about the book is that Pony was just writing a paper about his life just like in the movie at the start. I did not like the ending because it was all just a paper about his life. I also did not like how they never show who was who in the story. While the book and movie have many similarities and differences, the Book was more effective in telling the story.…

    Why I preferred the book well to start with it gives lots of details instead of the movie. It does actually mean a lot if I like a book because I tend to be very picky about what I read. the book plot, story, theme, everything was so well done and thought out that once you start reading it, it is hard to put it down and stop reading. Reason why it is so hard to stop reading it well every chapter pretty much end with a cliffhanger. Great books like this one are very hard to come by.…

    A few important character connections and details were in the book that were left out in the movie. In the book, for example, Kim and Mia’s relationship wasn’t as detailed in the movie. It didn’t show their fight like it did in the book and all of their childhood between the two seemed to be missing from the movie. Mia and Kim had some important things that occurred in their childhood which I thought was important and should have been included in the movie. Her grandparents also weren’t in the movie as much as they were in the book.…

    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…

    In “The Landlady”, Billy Weaver is lured into a seemingly normal bed and breakfast by an old lady who, despite her gentle and unthreatening appearance, wants to kill him. It is a story about how those with cruel intent may take advantage of those who are innocent and naive. Although the book and the movie can be arguably similar if generalized, there are many differences that may change the way a reader/viewer may grasp the concept of the story. Since a movie and book cannot be exactly the same, the film version is bound to have things that differ from the text. One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…
