In the movie, Clash of Titans, and the book Medusa's Head there are couple of similarities and differences. In the written story, Perseus is given flying sandals, but in the movie is given Pegasus. In the movie, he is also given an owl that helps him but also causes some trouble. Another difference is that Acrisios dies in the beginning of the movie and in the book Acrisios is killed by Perseus at the end. Some of the similarities are characters, such as, Andromeda, Zeus, Medusa and of course
With both the movie and the book there were similarities and differences involving the names of the characters. Justice Wargrave was known as Author Cannon in the movie. Also, Vera Claythorne was Ann Clyde. Another difference is Philip Lombard was Charles Morman in the movie. However, there were some similar names, Mr. Blores’ name continued to stay the same as well as Dr. Armstrong.
While watching the movie, I could see that the main characters in the book, both their names and traits, were the same in both the movie and book. However, aside from that there were many different as...
Similar yet different, Persepolis and Two Or Three Things I Know for Sure are two creatively written, autobiographical books. Although the subject matter may seem so dissimilar, both authors portrayed it using the same point of view. Integrated into both books was the use of pictures, Allison used family photographs and Satrapi used a comic strip format. Although they used different types of images, the combination of words and pictures gives readers a visual of exactly what these authors were experiencing at the time. Both authors face tragedies growing up, although, their experiences differ, they both stood up for what
Hercules is a myth that has been told for years. Both the Graphic Novel Hercules and the film Hercules include characters, themes, and antagonists. In fact, the characters are what makes an entire story. For example, Hercules, Meg, Hydra, and Phil are all characters. Yet both versions include different characters with different personalities, too. To begin, Hydra was included in both the Graphic Novel and film. However, in the Graphic Novel, Hydra started with 150 heads. The Hydra in the film only started with one head! The characters were vicious and deadly from both but they contrasted with different physical traits. Next, is Pegasus. In the Graphic Novel, there was no friendly, protecting pony with the name “Pegasus.” However, there was
Even though they are alike, there are some differences like, in the movie they were neighbors and in the book they lived across the street. Also in the movie they played basketball at school and in the book they didn't.
The book and movie also have quite a bit of things different from each other. To start with, the age of the characters Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase are twelve years old in the book, but in the movie they are seventeen. Something that the age changes is, in the movie they drive themselves places and you cannot drive until you are at least sixteen years old, wherein the book they don't because they aren’t old enough to drive yet. Percy and Poseidon are explained in the book with black hair and green eyes but in the movie Percy has dark-brown hair and blue eyes and Poseidon has light brown hair and blue eyes. In the book it states that In the movie where she has straight dark brown hair and blue eyes, but in the book it says, “With her deep tan and her curly blond hair, she was almost exactly what I thought a stereotypical California girl would look like, except her eyes ruined the image. They were startling gray, like storm clouds; pretty, but intimidating, too, as if she were analyzing the
Hercules, is a Greek myth and is an American animated film loosely based on Ancient Greco-Roman mythology, Heracles. The story is modernised in the 1997 to a Disney film and follows the hero's journey structure. The Hunger Games is a Dystopian fiction set in American, is written by Suzanne Collins and also follows the same structure of the hero's journey.
Similarity, Theseus, like Hercules, had amazing strength and had to also prove himself to his father. On the other hand, Hercules was part God and had to face against not only villains in this world, but the underworld. Although, Theseus and Hercules story are very similar. Their journey’s gave them the courage, strength, and compassion to be a great leader. Even when the odds were against them, they persevered and ultimately were very successful. In the Disney movie, Hercules, it says, “ I know every mile will be worth my while. When I go the distance, I'll be right where I belong.” Therefore, the journey helped both Theseus and Hercules by giving them experience and the qualities of a true
In the movie Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Columbus did a really good job of taking the original theme good Vs evil from D’aulaires “The legend of Perseus.” My first piece of evidence is when a monster from the underworld kidnaps Percy’s mom and Percy wants to save her. In the original story Perseus is working for the king because he wants to buy a gift for him and his mom for the wedding because the king will take his mom. As in the movie instead of the king taking the mom the giant underworld monster kidnapped her. Next, in both the movie and the story Medusa appears sometime in the movie and story. Both Percy and Perseus have to fight medusa and slay her. Unlike the story Percy had a choice whether to take her head back or not. But,
On one hand, the movie and book are very similar. For example, Percy (from the movie) used his opponents’ strengths against them, just like Theseus did in the text with Corynetes, Sciron, and Pityocamptes. Another example is how in the book, Orpheus goes to the Underworld to get his wife, Eurydice, back from the dead. In the movie, Percy goes to the Underworld to retrieve his mother. Another
Whether it is the Clash of the Titans or the Amazing Spider-Man, We can see in both of these wonderful movies have many similarities and differences. Despite the fact that the clash of the titans was made in 1981, and the amazing Spiderman in 2012, both have one thing in common, the protagonists Perseus and peter parker, respectively, they both fight for love. Also we can see differences in the special effects, which are dramatically different and more improved in the amazing Spiderman. Since Perseus is a mythology god, and peter parker a normal human-being, the setting in both films tend to be way different. Because of the protagonists, drama, romance, the setting, and the special effects, the amazing spider man is a superior film than the clash of the titans.
The similarities between Odysseus and Jason are as vast as their differences, yet their main connections show their their main difference. The similarity of the two previously unsung heroic types is exactly what separates them, each man is a different type of the new hero that came about after the brutish and brawny warriors like Achilles and Hector. Each can be seen as a hero or as a perverse designation of the past warriors and heroic ideals. It is their journeys that define them as heros, Jason though he could not have made it alone succeeds in his endeavors and Odysseus although he made it home alone in the end he is the valiant lover and father. The endings show a major difference between the two characters as Odysseus is redeemed in the end for his good qualities, Jason become less of a heroic figure as he discards his ever helpful wife Medea.
The story of Perseus’ quest to defeat Medusa, is one of great peril. Following the birth of King Acrisius’ daughter Danaë, a priestess notified him that he would be killed by Danaë’s son. For fear of this, Acrisius trapped his daughter in a house of bronze to prevent her from having a child. This was ineffective and Danaë gave birth to Zeus’ son Perseus. When Acrisius discovered the child he was furious and locked Perseus and his Mother in a chest. The chest was cast into the sea. The two drifted until they came upon an island where the family lived for years. Polydectes, the king of the island, fell in love with Danaë and devised a plan to kill Perseus. His plan convinced Perseus to slay Medusa, a Gorgon, and give him the head as a wedding
Put a bad guy, a hot guy, a rescue mission and a romance all in the same story and you have one for the books. This has been true for ages. One of the greatest civilizations in the ancient world: Greece unquestionably had their recipe right. Their heroic gods, demigods, warriors, and Olympians captivated the hearts of so many storytellers for years. Many movies have tried their fate in recreating these adventures. One of the latest attempts: The Clash of the Titans made in 1981 and a remake in 2010 tell the story of Perseus, a Greek demigod, son of Zeus. To cater to the demographic of viewers, producers altered the story. Even though both movies, 1981 and 2010, have the same underlying core, their disparities branch the original story from
The story of Perseus and Medusa begins when King Acrisius of Argos realizes that his daughter Danae is ripe for marriage. He dislikes this because he despises the idea of having a son-in-law. He decides to send a messenger to consult the oracle at Delphi, and the messenger returned with the prophecy that one day his grandson will kill him. Angry and fearful of this prophecy, he placed Danae in an impenetrable brass tower with a small slit serving as a window. Through this window, Zeus entered the tower as a blade of light and gave Danae a son, Perseus (Evslin and Hoffman 114). In another version, Acrisius locked up Danae in an underground prison made of bronze where Zeus entered as a shower of golden rain (Ancient History Encyclopedia). Still fearing the prophecy, Acrisius sent Danae and Perseus adrift at sea in a chest with the hope that they would meet misfortune. With the protection of the gods, Danae and Perseus drifted on to the shores of the island Seriphos, where a fisherman named Dictys found them and brought them to the King Polydectes. Polydectes immediately fell in love with Danae because of her beauty, and took her and her son under his care. Perseus grew into a strong and bold young man who was able to outdo every other man in their physical capabilities. Polydectes disapproved of this and viewed Perseus as an obstacle in his ultimate plan of marrying Danae against her will. Eager for any opportunity to remove Perseus, Polydectes sent Perseus on the impossible task of beheading the gorgon Medusa. He assumed
