“The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” is a children’s novel written by Frank Baum,
an American author. It has many similarities and differences when comparing it to
the film that was produced after the book, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz”. The main
character in the two different stories is a young girl named Dorothy. Throughout the
film and novel not all characters that are introduced are in both the novel and film. The
settings of the two different stories are located in different areas, where the film used
more imagination. Another thing are there clothing that were used in the film and
described in the novel, that were different. An example from that would be Dorothy’s
slippers that were meant to keep her protected. The novel has a lot of differences and

...d coloring of certain images. The novel, however, puts much greater emphasis on the imagination and creativity, and on the main character Tita. The novel really makes the reader feel Titas pain and grow with her as she discovers her freedom, whereas the movie failed to achieve this. Moreover, the movie tends to ignore the significant of 3 integral motifs, cooking, tears and sensuality.
There were many differences in the characters' relationships with each other. For instance, Heather and Melinda’s connection were very different from book to film.
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.
Some of the characters in the novel, like Lennie, are portrayed differently in the movie. In the novel, Lennie is said to be “a huge man” (2), but in the movie he isn’t very big, although he is bigger than George and some of the other characters. In the movie he is stronger and bigger than the others, but not to the extreme amount that the book portrays him to be. Also, Lennie is depicted as very mentally challenged, which is shown by the way he speaks. Whereas in the book, Lennie is said to have a mind of a young child instead of being disabled. As well as Lennie, Curley’s wife is represented a little bit differently. In the movie,...
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.
Frank Baums, The Wizard of Oz is arguably one of the most popular films made. Even though it was released in 1939, nearly three-quarters of a century ago, the film continues to entertain audiences and speak to them in a personal way. The question that comes to the mind when analyzing this film is: What is it about this film that gives it such timelessness? When reflecting on the film’s timeless qualities, it seems clear the plot is one of the things that enable it to maintain its relevance. Primarily, the plot of The Wizard of Oz is timeless because it is such an excellent example of the heroic journey, both in literally and cinematically. This journey of self-awareness is a metaphor for growth, which is something we all search to discover at some time in our lives.
The Wiz is a musical/movie released in 1978 that was an adaptation of the popular film “Wizard of Oz”. It included several very popular stars of the time, which were Diana Ross, Michael Jackson and Nipsey Russell. The movie set place in New York City where the main character, Dorothy, suddenly is swept by a tornado in the middle of a snowstorm. She later then found herself lost in a city she had no clue about and curious as to how she could return home. After meeting 3 other characters during her journey that share similarities, they all embarked on a trip to OZ to fix each of their problems. Throughout the movie characters apply their own soundtrack through singing songs in harmony that compliment the mood of each scene.
I have only included what I have to believe are largely important plot gaps and differences in the movie version in comparison to the book one, and so I apologize again if I have missed any other major ones. Forgive me, please.
In 1939, Victor Fleming made a film version of L. Frank Baum’s novel “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.” However, both the novel and the film focuses or touches on the same moral, it features the protagonist Dorothy who resides in Kansas the farm, along with her aunt Em and uncle Henry as well as her dog Toto. Both Baum’s novel and Fleming’s 1939 film adaptation the setting is in Kansas which is described as a small farm which Dorothy lives in which in Baum’s novel is picturized as gloomy, grey and dull. Throughout Fleming’s adaptation of Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,” there are a number of differences which presents itself in a direct manner on screen as well as similarities. The variety of changes in the film’s adaptation tends to take away from the meaning of L. Frank Baum’s depiction in his novel to a certain level and extent.
Scene: This scene in the film comes just after the house has been picked up in the twister. Dorothy's house has been lifted up into the sky and suddenly dropped back down to earth in the middle of the Land of Oz. In the scene itself, Dorothy leaves her home to see that she is "Not in Kansas anymore," and finds the new and amazing world of the munchkin city in front of her. She also meets Gwendela the good witch as her journey in Oz begins.
Next I am going to talk about the difference between the Roxanne's the one in the book has brownish gold hair and the Roxanne in the movie has dirty blond hair and the one in the book looks older than the one in the movie. In the book Roxanne is a montfleury and in the movie she is does astronomy. The Roxanne in the book marries Christian but the Roxanne in the movie does not marry Christian.
Ethan cai Dr.Friedman Us history Oct 06 Wizard of Oz:difference between the book and movie The Wizard of Oz was a story happened in the girl Dorothy’s dream. The girl Dorothy lived with her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em in a farm in Kansas. One day, after a strong cyclone, Dorothy found that she was at a very special place where she had never been before. The crazy cyclone brought Dorothy and her little dog Toto to a place named Munchkins.
Finally the setting in both the movie and the book is in London, however, the Book’s time period is around 1920 whereas the movies is more modern. This change in the time period made the movie more appealing to me because it is more relatable than the book that took place in 1902. Another small difference in time period between the book and movie is that in the book the first wish that r white makes is for two hundred pounds but in the movie it is for three hundred pounds which implies that the time period is different because prices have gone up.
