What Is The Difference Between The Prince Compare And Contrast

Decent Essays
The time period of the movie vs. the play was different. Because in the movie there was guns, police cars, helicopters, and radios in the car and televisions. But in the play there were horses, no radios in the car you had to sit in silence, and swords. The time period is not the same because the play made it sound like life was boring. But in the movie it made it sound like that life was not so boring in the time of age. The characters in the movie were different then you would expect. Because the Prince was dressed like a cop and drove a cop car. And Friar Lawrence was dressed more like a normal person rather than a priest. I thought that the Prince would be dressed in a something rather than a cop uniform. And I also thought that Friar

    The comical personalities all the characters had helped the audience become more intrigued in the story of this play. From this play, I liked that there was only one actor for each character. It made it easier to understand which character was which. The actors had different costumes, which made it easier to apprehend who was…

    Both the book and the movie of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible tell the same tale, however, the movie twists and reorders the events of the book and creates a new take on the classic story. Yet the movie does not alter the plot as the film keeps most of the story elements that made The Crucible a remarkable play. As a result, there are many differences and similarities that make both versions stand out when compared against each other. One obvious difference is the film begins with young women running to visit a campsite with Tituba to conjure young men the women loved. This scene is mentioned in the play but never began with it and in the play, they summoned babies instead of men.…

    After hanging up from talking to my mother, I decided to take her advice. If I have to watch the Rocky Horror Picture Show for class that it would the best if I was to actually experience the show, this culture, this step into the past, instead of just watching the musical on my laptop and thinking this is the strangest musical in the world. I looked up if there was even any showings still of this musical, and lucky there was one this the Nuart Theater, of course the midnight showing. The price was only $11, a price I luckily could afford as a poor college student. I called up a few friends, family members, and my roommate…

    Between films and books, it is often seen how different the films tend to be in comparison with the real book story. In the play Macbeth, written by Shakespeare, and the 2015 movie of Macbeth, directed by Justin Kurzel,there are major differences seen. Although the film and the play share many similarities, the changes in the plot that occur during the movie change the flow and results of the situations occurring within the play. In the movie, Justin Kurzel takes away the psychological power Lady Macbeth has over different events, gives a different view of Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, and the plot twist caused by Malcolm’s actions. Macbeth the film and Macbeth the play, show how a movie can differ from the actual message and mood the original author is in reality giving.…

    Langston Hughes masterfully created a powerful and raw play with his writing of Mulatto. The exposition comprehensively describes the play’s background information, setting, and details of the main characters. The exposition essentially helps the audience to understand the purpose of the play and what each element and character add to the theme. Mulatto takes place during the 1930’s; it is set in the south on a large plantation in Georgia. The majority of the play takes place inside the Big House on this plantation.…

    The reason is because in the film the viewers could actually see how the jealousy affected the characters and their lives. In the play, readers could not see the reaction of the characters when they got jealous. For some people, actually being able to watch and see what is happening really…

    It is often easy to watch a play and feel like you are in that time period, because of the costumes, set pieces, speech, etc. In my case, I was drawn into the 1930’s when I watched the play Of Mice and Men. I felt involved in the character’s lives and the setting of the story. In my mind, I was in California watching this all happen in front of me. There are many things that go into making the audience feel involved in the play/musical.…

    One of these differences is that in the movie, the man who helps them get food is Mr. Koogler, while in the play, his name is Mr. Kraler. In the play, his character name is Mr. Kraler, but in the movie he is called Mr. Koogler. Another difference is when Anne receives her diary. In the movie, she receives it as a present for her 13th birthday, while in the play, she gets it after they’ve moved into the annex. The last difference is that in the movie, Mr. Koogler stays healthy throughout the story, but in the play, Mr. Kraler goes to the hospital.…

    The screenplay differs from the movie in that it does not follow the transitions and path of the original script. Rather, it cuts between different scenes and connects the viewer with ideas of the past and present. For example, the movie begins with Solomon Northup seen cutting sugar cane stalks on a plantation somewhere. It then transitions to him playing the violin. This slight variation from how the screenplay was written, allows for the movie to open with a much more powerful and provocative point.…

    I believe the original play shows the way women were treated in Elizabethan times, and almost makes fun of it. The 1960s film is related closer to the play, since it is based in Padua where the original play was set, but I believe is far more serious than the original play is. The way i saw it, both films had their own spin on the play. Zeffirelli’s version of the film takes a far more serious notion on the film, but the 1999 high school cliche is exactly that, a modern high school cliche. With their difference in time period, both male characters seem to act the same way initially.…

    While introducing the characters, the play did a splendid job at giving us an amazing description and a well detailed background of each character with the biography paragraphs that the play provided. However, the descriptions offered does not necessarily give us information about their personality. The personality of a character is important to the audience because the personality of a character is a dependent variable of the audience in reference if the audience likes that character or not. Therefore, the play does a brilliant job at describing the characters, their backgrounds, and history, but the movie offered us more of the character’s personality than that of the…
