In the movie productions of And Then There Were None and A Wrinkle in Time, the directors did not follow the original storyline. The changes made in the films caused a great impact on the story. In both films, the introduction and finale were different compared to the book. The two movies also strayed away from sequence and details. All of which made the directors of the films depart from the original plot.
And Then There Were None consists of a myriad amount of differences. At the beginning of the story, all of the guests are on their separate ways going to the dock where they will meet and sail towards the island. The movie version, however, does not begin the same way the book did. Unlike in the book, the guests are seen all crammed into

one boat heading for the island. This deviation impacts the story by not allowing the viewer to know any background information.
Included in the book, the characters are on a train reading the letters they had received prior to the vacation. The director most likely eliminated this scene because later on in the movie the guests discuss why they were called to the island, which was included in the letters. The finale of the movie was modified as well. The denouement in the book resulted in everyone perishing. Vera was scared that Lombard was the murderer and decided to shoot him with his revolver. She later hung herself. In the movie version of the book, Vera is seen shooting Lombard, just as it was done in the book. There was a big plot twist when Wargrave came back to explain that he was the one responsible for the murders. As Wargrave tried to persuade Ms. Claythorne to kill herself, Lombard comes back and finds out the truth as well. The judge then drinks a purposely poisoned drink and dies. After this, Fred Narracott, the one who sailed the guests on the boat to the island, arrived to take everyone back to the mainland. Ms. Claythorne and Lombard happily skipped out of the house heading for the boat. This dissimilarity impacts the viewer by not going by the nursery rhyme …show more content…
featured in the story. In the poem, Ten Little Indians, all of the little Indians die. This deviation also strays away from the title, And Then There Were None, meaning that everyone perishes. This could confuse the viewer on the main idea of the story due to the fact that two people live. The choices that the directors and the actors chose to make did depart from the original storyline, greatly impacting the story. In the novel, A Wrinkle In Time, there is a wide gulf between the movie production and the book.
Madeleine L’Engle, the author, begins the story with the main character, Meg, sitting in her room during a thunderstorm. Meg decides to leave her room and head down stairs. She finds her little brother, Charles Wallace, sitting at the kitchen table making sandwiches. In the film production of the book, this scene is not introduced until after the commencement. The directors most likely made this difference because they felt that this scene was the most important and should be saved for later. They probably viewed this scene as most important because later on the character Ms. Whatsit is introduced, who plays a major role. This impacts the story by allowing the viewers to understand the least important to the most paramount scenes. The directors of the film also failed to include the original antagonist featured in the book. The disembodied brain, also known as IT, was the character who captured Charles Wallace under his spell. In the movie, the man with the red eyes put Charles Wallace under his control. The directors probably changed this scene to reduce confusion within the audience about which character was which between the man with the red eyes and IT. This impacts the story by not allowing the spectator to see the scene where Charles Wallace, under the control of IT, angrily takes Meg, her father, and Calvin to see IT after they had disobeyed him. This scene helps viewers
better understand why Charles Wallace had to be left behind while Mr. Murry, Meg, and Calvin tessered to a planet called Ixchel. The film production of A Wrinkle In Time does not stay faithful to the original plot compared to the book making a big impact on the story. Both movies, And Then There Were None and A Wrinkle In TIme, depart from the original storyline in numerous ways. Both films stray away from sequence and detail. The two stories also exclude certain events within the introduction and finale. All dissimilarities impact the story in different ways. Some distinctions allow the viewer to understand thoroughly while others don’t. Most of the modified scenes included in the film version were eliminated due to the fact that it may not keep the spectator engrossed in the movie. And Then There Were None and A Wrinkle In Time were both adjusted by the directors, vastly impacting both stories.
The books, A Wrinkle in Time and And Then There Were None, both have many differences in the movie versions. The directors of both movies change the plot to make the movie see fit to what they may have imaged the book to be, while still keeping the story line the same.

The film and writing industry go hand in hand, as they often inspire one another. As a result, the translation of many novels into movie format and vice versa vary in success. For instance, many people prefer the film format over the novel since it is usually less time consuming and requires less active participation. However, films tend to overlook significant details which assist the viewer's understanding of the story. Therefore, the two separate forms of media have too many differences to portray the same work of fiction accurately, as they both have their pros and cons that appeal to different types of stories and plots. Numerous changes in the movie adaptation of the novel, A Separate Peace by John Knowles, affected the viewer’s interpretation
A Comparison A Sound of Thunder by Ray Bradbury and The Star by H.G. Wells
The story Zora Hurston portrayed in her novel Their Eyes Were Watching God drastically changed in the movie that Oprah sought to make using her book. Many changes, such as the differences between the relationships like how Oprah sought to change it in the movie.

The details she felt irrelevant had also removed such as entire parts of the book that didn't show at all in her movie. These changes brought with it a whole new feel in the movie than it did from the book changing it from the story of a young woman who the product of rape but, well brought up women
Overall, the movie and book have many differences and similarities, some more important than others. The story still is clear without many scenes from the book, but the movie would have more thought in it.
As most everyone knows, there are differences between a book and it’s movie adaptation. This is applicable to the book and it’s movie counterpart To Kill a Mockingbird, as well. But aside from the differences, there are also similarities between these two.
Whedon's production of Much Ado About Nothing is a modern, black and white retelling of the famous Shakespeare play of the same name which tells the story of love and deceit between two couples: Hero and Claudio, and Beatrice and Benedick. While Hero and Claudio court and prepare to marry each other, Beatrice and Benedick steal the show away with their wit, humor, and constant bickering. Though they both insist that they hate each other, the flashback presented at the start of the film suggests that there is far more to the story than meets the eye. While the style of the film certainly enhances the story being told, making it a timeless classic entangled with modern society, it is the ensemble cast that work both individually and as a unit which make the film a true masterpiece, as well as the genius idea of a change in scenery that propels a sense of realism not often found in your average Shakespeare adaptation.
“Be careful who you trust, the devil was once an angel.” That is a common saying now a day. Trust is an issue that many people face throughout life. You never know who actually has you’re back and who doesn’t. In the stories And Then There Were None and The Most Dangerous Game, trust was a major issue or the characters who were trapped on an island knowing they may get killed. The two stories relate in the fact that the characters couldn’t trust anyone on either island. Through my analysis of these two literary works and through real life examples, I will prove that human nature is untrustworthy.
Of the many changes made between the book and the movie, most were made to keep the audience interested in the story. Most people who watch TV don’t have a long attention span. Executives at NBC didn’t want to spend millions to produce a movie and then have nobody watch it. The screenwriters had to throw in some clever plot twists to keep people interested. Another reason the movie was different from the book was the material in the book was a little too racy for network TV. Take the ending, for example, nobody wants to see a grown man hang himself. This was a reason the producers had to change some material in the movie.
There is a lot of things different about the book and the movie the book is placed in Paris, France,in 1640/1655 and the movie is placed in Nelson Washington, 1987. Then how they end in the book christen dies and Roxane becomes a widow and Cyrano tells her the news every saturday and one day some people set him up and dropped a log on his head and went to Roxane and talked to her than died from the log. Where in the movie Christian does not die and C.D and Roxanne fall in
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.
When the children meet IT, the man with the red eyes says the only way for Mr.Wallace to be set free was to let IT control Charles. Charles would do anything for his father, so he agrees. Meg, however, doesn’t agree because she can tell that it wasn’t going to end well. Meg believed that it was nearly impossible to free Charles from the control of IT until she is able to talk to Mrs.Whatsit: “ [What I] give you now is nothing you can touch… I give you my love… always” (L’Engle 222). The idea that love can cause problems when people don’t think evolves more when Meg didn’t think much before volunteering to free Charles, but she was
