Both film and book are very popular when they were published ,and still interesting today their story forces you to go on and makes you never to stop. In the story Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell a renowned Huntsman falls off a yacht and finds out what it's like to be hunted. Also in the film High Noon made by Carl Foreman a marshal try's to protect his town from a gang of criminals. Both of these have similarities and differences on certain things such a settings, characters, as well as themes. There is many examples to what these stories both have in common or are different in. The settings in the book and film have have some interesting similarities in how they work. "Dense jungle came down to the very edge of the cliffs, what perils that tangle of trees and underbrush might hold for him did not concern Rainsford"(Connell 6). Both settings are isolated and lawless in their story/film if they were different so would be the outcome of each. Jungles are known for being isolated and anything can happen there no many people live in them and those who do are usually strong. The settings in both the movie and story seem to be desolate and dangerous when the villain comes out of hiding. …show more content…
It must have been a fairly large animal too"(Connell 6). This quote explains how both main characters are very smart this shows how one of them thinks as well as his thought process as a hunter. Both the main characters Kane and Rainsford are very smart in their professions and can escape death against their villains, but Kane is a marshal Rainsford is a hunter.They are indeed good at their
On the other hand, in the short-story Rainsford never had the chance to see the trophy room. It allowed Rainsford to have an image on what General Zaroff’s new hunting animal is. Also, in the film, Rainsford went to discover the jungle with Eve for one whole night, but in the short-story, Rainsford was left alone in the jungle for three whole nights away from General Zaroff. Another difference in the setting was that Rainsford was almost killed by hiding near a waterfall, but in the story, there was never a waterfall, to begin
After reading the stories “The Most Dangerous Games” and “The Cask of Amontillado”, “The Most Dangerous games” is my treasured of the two stories. The reason why I like “ The Most Dangerous Games” as a result the story is about hunting and I love to hunt. For example on the first day of the hunt for Rainsford, Rainsford tried to make a hard to follow him. After that he made a log and tied it to gather and then he put some of the strings over a branch and hid behind a log less than one hundred feet away. Next traps Rainsford dug next to the Quicksand and he put long like stakes pear in the bottom of the pothole and then climb a tree not far away. His plan didn’t direct the way he intended . He had retrieved a couple of the mongrel instead
The underlying themes of the stories are l valid contrasts between the works. In some portions the themes are of the same facets, such as how in both books two men have a direct conflict between
The plot of both stories is quite similar. They are both about hunting larger prey to
These two films come from entirely different genres, have entirely different plots, and are even based in entirely different galaxies, but the share the theme of the hero’s journey. This concept can be equally applied to nearly every book, movie, and other such works, as long as you dig under the surface and find the meaning beneath. The elements of the hero’s journey are found in both films, and with a critical eye, can be found all around us. This is the classic story of the hero; in every shape and form an author can apply it too.
There are few similarities between the book and the movie. Usually most movies are similar to
There are many stories and movies that you are able to be compared and contrasted because of there similar and different ideas. High Noon and The Most Dangerous Game have many differences and similarities that you can compare and contrast. An example would be how the characters take place in similar situations such as being hunted down. Both stories take place in the early 1900's such as 1924 and 1952. Both of these stories have differences such us the plot which brings each story to their differences. Another situation which both of the stories are similar in is the setting. The setting is set with isolation and in the middle of nowhere which gives these stories something to compare about and the events that take place. Overall each story
When Rainsford falls off of the boat, he has to try his best to stay afloat until he can find something to latch on to. He swims vigorously until he reaches Ship-Trap Island. "Jagged crags appeared to jut up into the opaqueness... dense jungle came down to the very edge of the cliffs." It is midday and he is just searching for a place to rest when he runs into Ivan, the astonishingly large guard of the island. Zaroff, the owner of the island, joins in on their conversation about hunting. The conversation is interesting to say the least. Zaroff says, "You'll find this game worth playing…your brain against mine. Your woodcraft against mine. Your strength and stamina against mine. Outdoor chess! And the stake is not without value, eh?" Zaroff is trying to point out that he finds interest in hunting humans, and he wants to know if Rainsford will rise to the challenge. Rainsford is left with a choice to make; will he fight Zaroff, or will he decline and get killed by Ivan. The choice in this situation is pretty self- evident.
The basic ideas of the two novels are also similar. They have to do with rebellion against the so-called perfect new world and the sanctuary they find at the end. John the savage found peace by hanging himself. (It was hard to notice that, but I did. It made an excellent ending to the novel.)
I found that the setting in the movie and in the book were the things that had the most similarities. Both the movie and the book are very close when it comes to the setting, and so are most of the scenes throughout the book and the movie. The setting in the movie takes place in New Orleans and in the gorgeous city of Paris. The old English style of clothing was brought into the movie and it was very appropriate for the film. In the file Cruise and Pitt had a very long hair style which fit with the time period perfectly. The Director Neil Jordan tried to capture very dark, passionate world which would fit the vampire environment. Most of the scenes are shot during the very cold dark night. I think that the Director Neil Jordan did I great job creating most of the scenes in the movie, but I think that the veins protruding on the face were a bit too much, the blue tint looked very unnatural, and also some of the scenes were taken a bit took fore, the bloody scenes were way to graphic and looked very unreal. But other then that I found the movie entertaining and funny at some point of the movie. For example their was a time in the movie when Claudia develops an insatiable thirst for blood and kills her piano teacher in the middle of a lesson, Lestat reprimands her, "What did I tell you?" "Never in the house," she says meekly. In the novel the setting also takes place in New Orleans and in Paris. The novel starts off with a young boy interviewing a vampire named Louis and fades off and on onto story scenes that Louis is telling to the young boy. Basically to say the settings in the movie and book are about the same. The writer Anne Rice also does a great job creating a vampire environm...
To Mr. Rainsford, hunting is like football to a NFL player. Hunting plays a huge role in his li...
The movie and the story had some of the same characters but some weren't exactly the same. The movie introduced many different characters and changed some of the others. For example, the movie had the plant lady and had the mentor of Anderton as the founders of Precrime while in the book, Anderton was the only founder of Precrime. Also, Witwer wasn't blond he had black hair and Kapler wasn't named Kapler he was named Crow. In the story they had the red head Fleming who did not exist
Another similarity in the book and movie is that the characters have to go against their morals in order to decide what to do in certain situations. An example of this in the book is when Skip realises he would have to trespass and steal in order for him to keep himself and his friends alive. Or in...
... almost nothing alike from a superficial aspect. The stories have different historical contexts and they simply don’t have much in common to the average audience. It is easy to contrast the stories, but deep within certain elements, the stories can be linked in several ways.
In conclusion, details involving the characters and symbolic meanings to objects are the factors that make the novel better than the movie. Leaving out aspects of the novel limits the viewer’s appreciation for the story. One may favor the film over the novel or vice versa, but that person will not overlook the intense work that went into the making of both. The film and novel have their similarities and differences, but both effectively communicate their meaning to the public.
