Instead of the use of lighting as in the 1996 film, Zeferelli's film was very dark and the use of flame outside was used to create lighting. This scene took the focus off of background view and was directed more towards the Montague boys. The first time Romeo and Juliet saw each other was when Juliet was involved in a traditional dance involving many people. The background was set in a outdated style with boring colors in the background. Torches were lit in the windows, and some white candles were lit near the dance floor. This scene seemed to focus on the crowd of people attending the party and less on Romeo and Juliet. This scene seemed to take away the great feelings Juliet felt when she first saw Romeo, because she quickly glanced at him a few times. Juliet also looked like a protected female when dancing with the other people. This is in difference to what Juliet was really supposed to represent. This scene seemed slightly more filthy than the modern version because they were still with closeness people and didn't have a great deal of privacy behind the curtain. They could have easily been caught. I think the audience could see Zeferelli's version of this as two teenagers who were not very afraid of being caught. The candles in the background showed a more closer mood when they kissed. Costuming could be…

The movie To Kill a Mockingbird, based on the novel written by Harper Lee showed the life of a child during the Great Depression and captured the theme of innocence taken away by evil. In most cases the book is always better than the film because life lessons are taken away in greater detail and are much easier to apply to a reader's life. Many movies stray from the book as did To Kill a Mockingbird, but also captured the scenes not shown in the book.…

In the movie there is no Theo at all. The Westing Game movie and book contain many similarities and differences that our worth discussing.…
As an avid book reader, my response to “book or movie,” is always book. The book has free reign to take one where the author intended for one to go. A movie has no such ability. It is constrained by social obligations and media requirements. Often, the director of said movie is unable to dig into the details and moments the author has laid before one. This is additionally accurate for those telling a true story. Many vital parts of the story line are left out because the director saw them not important enough to make the cut in the allotted time. “12 years a slave,” was an intense book and while the movie did a decent job following its intensity, it lacked many moments told in his story and like all movies, some of the details were changed…
Jonas left the community to release the memories and show people things that were being covered up from there censored lives. In the book and the movie, Jonas left the village and crossed the border to release memories, showing the citizens what they were missing. On page 166-167, it said, "He knew he had the remaining hours of the night before they would be aware of his escape... Together the fugitives slept through the first dangerous day." By Lois Lowry using the word fugitive, it enforces the fact that Jonas broke a rule. In the movie by adding a chase, it emphasized he was being tracked down for his illegal activities. Jonas broke the rules in both the book and the movie, but it was better in the movie because the whole movement and actions…
