The Martian is a story that involves a visit to the mars, and after that, the astronauts come out of the Mars leaving behind Mark Watney who his real name is Matt Damon. The team assumed Mark was dead after a strong storm. He tried to survive with the remains of the supplier till he was able to launch his way back to the Earth (MacIsaac, 2015). The story is represented in the Novel, and a movie and these two platforms have some similarities and differences. The movie is the representation of what is happening in the book. Therefore, not everything that it is in the book is covered in the one and half film, therefore several scenarios are left out. From the start, the movie is adapted from the novel and therefore it could not cover everything, some actions or acts in the novel are too dense such that it is not of any importance to angle them in the movie. It is very realistic to everyone that the movie cannot cover every single paragraph in the novel even the memorable ones. Some materials are left out in the film, and others were changed. Mark Watney praised himself once in the movie that he was a Chicagoan, …show more content…
The main topic is the visit to the Mars, where Mark Watney and the rest of the crew went. Unfortunately, the storm rose making the visit tougher, and Mark was left over by the crew. Both in the movie and the book, the team had assumed that the storm killed Mark, but he had not died. Science phenomenon is also featured in the two, where the movie focused on Mark's science used to overcome his problems in space like the burning of hydrogen to get water was shown; the movie explains the book only that it focused so much on the process rather than the results. Which justify that the scientific knowledge is used in both the book and the movie? Both the movie and the book are all about the survival and gives in details every single step and action that Watney performed for his
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...
In the book and in the movie, many aspects showed major similarities and differences. This includes the similarities and differences in location, perspective of the conflict, perspective in conveying the horrors of the genocide, and comparisons in personal conflicts that both characters went through. While the movie made a great attempt to convey the massacre, the book was written in a more common reality from an actual survivor of the genocide compared to the movie, which used actors and centered the events more on Paul as to entertain the audience. The book held a personal account which separates it from the movie, but blends in with some main ideas and messages that the movie tried to express.
movie. In fact the movie describes what?s going on a little better than the book.
The differences in the movie and the book might have been intentional. If audiences were to read the book, watch the movie, and reach conclusions, I think they would have great understanding of what’s inside them both. For example, a scene in the movie in which Atticus tells his children why it is a sin to kill a mockingbird was not in the book; from that scene, I inferred on how that became the initial title of the book. By using both resources, I was able to gather information and grasp its contents tighter.
I don’t like the movie as much as I like the book because the movie doesn’t really demonstrate the futuristic world that the author depicted. It disappoints me because, like I’ve said earlier, the setting of the story is what interested me the most. But the movie, unfortunately, was not able to convey it. And I didn’t expect the movie to create a futuristic world either because back in 1966, technology was not advanced. Aside from technological issues, there are some changes in the movie. In the book, the girl who inspires Guy Montag, Clarisse McClellan, dies due to a speeding car, but in the movie, she still lives. I personally prefer the book’s way because I think Clarisse’s death was a key factor in leading to the main conflict of the book. Overall, I think that the book is far more interesting than the movie because the book is just more descriptive and
The story of The Martian focuses on the obstacles botanist and astronaut Mark Watney must overcome to survive on the planet Mars. His adventure is filled with fictional and non-fictional elements that are most likely difficult for the normal individual to identify what is actually realistic and what is simply fantasy. After taking a closer look, this film contains a lot more realism to actual science and space travel today. This paper will closely analyze and discuss three accuracies and inaccuracies of the film in relation to the content discussed in ESS 102 lectures, labs, and assignments.
Peter Chelsom cuts out many important parts of the book in order to make the story shorter. While doing this he cuts out
Well let me start off on the book.The book meg has glasses and braces. Then in the the movie she dose not have any of that.Then Charles Wales in the book is 5 an is not in school.Then in the movie Charles Wales is 6 and is in school and is able to read.then in the book there is no internet computers unlike the movie there is those things.In the book Camozots is pictured colorful and bight.And in the movie Camozots is a very dark place and is not colorful.And at the begging of the book it starts in megs room and it is a dark and stormy night.Then in the movie it starts in megs science class.At the end of the book meg and Charles Wales go straight home,But
There are many differences in the movie that were not in the book. In the movie there is a new character in the movie that was not in the book. This character was David Isay.
There are many similarities and differences that can characterize the movie and the book as different or similar. The movie provides a lot of differences to separate the movie from the book. There are some similarities to that really make the book and the movie similar too. I liked the book better because the book expresses Charlie’s thoughts and his development better.
The plot of the film is very different from the novel, which tells the story of a ninetieth century writer who journeys through London and its southern suburbs while the Martians attack and at the end he was reunited with his wife. In the film the protagonist is a Californian scientist who falls in love with a former college student after the Martian invasion begins in a small Californian town; he also reunited with his girlfriend at the end
Unfortunately, all plot was abandoned for special effects. And this led to several consistency errors. The movie strayed too far from the beautifully crafted work of the novel, missed out too many essential details, for it to really make any sense. Fangmeier appeared to realise his mistake near the end, where several important parts were messily added in, too little, too late.
The film may have edited out one of the drastic details that made the novel’s success, explaining the film’s failure.
The plot in the film is very similar to the book but in parts, especially towards the end, the plot is slightly different to the film. The plot is varied in the film to show
The book, "Being There," is about a man named Chance, who is forced to move out of the house he lived in his whole life and his experience in the outside world. Based on the success of the book, the movie, "Being There," was made. The author of the book, Jerzy Kosinski, also wrote the screenplay for the movie. I think the major difference between the book and the movie is that in the book, we get to read what Chance is feeling and thinking, but in the movie, we only get to see his actions.
