The plot of both films are very similar. Basically, Willy Wonka is a famous and mysterious candy maker who makes a wide assortment of chocolates and candies. In the past, spies of Wonka’s candy rivals invaded his factory and stole many of Wonka's secret recipes. In response to all of this, Wonka fired all the workers and closed the door to his factory. After this reclusion, the factory began to start producing chocolate, but to the public's mystery as no one ever went in or out of the factory. Years after (the beginning of the main movie plot) Wonka decided to open his factory to five people who are lucky enough to find one of the five golden tickets that are randomly inserted into Wonka's chocolate bars. The world results in controlled chaos …show more content…
to find these five tickets. Five children, accompanied by one of their parents find the tickets. The group is taken on a crazy and out-of-this-world tour of Wonka’s magical chocolate factory. They see the great river of chocolate, meet the orange workers known as the Oompa Loompas, discover a gum that can replace an entire meal, try everlasting gobstoppers and encounter a whole multitude of other things. Throughout the tour, many incidents occur where the child and his/her parent are forced to leave. The final remaining child gets a prize at the end. Though the movies are quite similar to each other concerning plot, there are a few minor differences. In the original movie, the final prize is a lifetime supply of chocolate, while in the remake the final prize is only mentioned as something that is beyond your wildest imagination. The original film is a musical, while in the remake only the Oompa Loompas sing. Also, Willy Wonka’s character is explored more in depth in the remake through flashbacks to his childhood with his menacing dentist father. Lastly, the abduction scene of Veruca Salt is different; the original movie has ducks laying golden eggs, while the remake has squirrels searching for nuts. Overall, despite the minor plot differences, the plot remains mostly unchanged in the remake of the movie because the plot is a story that is well known and enjoyed by most people. The five characters of the children are mostly similar, the major difference of character comes in the actor who plays Willy Wonka in both movies.
In the original movie, Gene Wilder plays a stronger and better Willy Wonka then Johnny Depp does. Johnny Depp in the remake of the movie is quite agitating and not entertaining, while Gene Wilder in the original movie is lovable and very entertaining! The central character in both films, Charlie, is a very good and kind boy who comes from a very humble and poor family. In the original movie, Charlie's father passed away, but in the remake, Charlie's dad is recently fired from a toothpaste factory and is struggling to make money for his family. Charlie is also very close with his Grandpa Joe in both movies. The character Augustus Gloop and his mother remain the same in both films. Veruca Salt is also quite similar and is accompanied by her father in both films. The competitive Violet Beauregard has the same character development in both films. However, In the original movie, she is accompanied by her business driven father, while in the remake she is accompanied by her competitive mother. Lastly, Mike Teevee is also a little different in both movies. In the original movie he's a know-it-all, TV-obsessed boy while in the remake, Mike is obsessed with video games and is a mechanical
genius. Special effects were used in the remake to enhance the story of Willy Wonka. Seeing as the plot of both movies is centered around the fantastical and the make-believe, it makes total sense that special effects were added. The original movie that was ahead of its time, created a visually striking factory that was very catching to the eye. Due to better technology, the remake creates a fully immersive world within the factory that is breathtaking. The remake has more intense colors and an even more fantastical factory. I believe the special effects used in the original movie are more commendable because the movie was made without the help of digital effects. The special effects in the remake are more spectacular because the director had the previous movie to build on and the CG technology but these new digital effects did not contribute to the movie in a significant way. The target audience for the original and remake of the movie are both the same. Both films are either rated G and PG so they are for an audience of almost any age. Children ages 5 and up are the target audience for both films. Though the later remake of the movie has better graphics due to digital technology, I am more emotionally involved with the original movie. I feel that it the first version, the characters accurately represent themselves better than in the remake. The characters in the first version seem more real and easier to connect to. I did not notice any social norm differences. I like the original Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) better! In my opinion, Gene Wilder plays a stronger and better Willy Wonka then Johnny Depp does. I found Johnny Depp in the remake of the movie to be annoying and not entertaining while Gene Wilder in the original movie was lovable and very entertaining! The later remake may have better CG graphics than the first, but I still appreciate the visuals of the original movie more because they are all handmade.
The thrilling book The Summer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls and the movie by Walt Disney are alike in some ways but drastically different in other ways. There were different characters, endings and beginnings, and even different plot organization.
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.
“My life was taken from me-by one of you !” ( Raskin, pg. 34). In the book The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin a series of roller coasters comes up in this murder mystery. This story has an up and down of emotional events. The Westing Game book and movie contains many similarities and differences that are worth exploring.
For example, Mama goes to the bank in the movie and is given a hard time about paying her mortgage, but this did not happen in the book. Another major difference is that the school bus scene, where the Logan kids played a trick on the white kids, was not shown in the movie, even though it was an important part of the story. There are some character changes as well. Lillian Jean, Jeremy, R.W, and Melvin are Simms’ in the book, but in the movie they are Kaleb Wallace’s children. However, the main plot difference is how the movie starts in the middle, summarizing everything from the first part of the book very briefly. Additionally, many scenes are switched around and placed out of order. Altogether, the plot and character changes contribute to my unfavorable impression of the
The story of Rikki-tikki by Rudyard Kipling is a great one, so great that there is a movie made after the book. The Movie follows the story of the book, but there are differences. The differences are very small, and don’t change the story’s theme. There are more similarities between the story and the movie them there are differences, however.
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...
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

...rtrayed differently in the movie. Lennie is shown as being very mentally challenged, whereas in the book he is just a little slow and has a mind of a young child. Although some changes are made in the movie to make it flow better, it is still based on the same story as the book. The movie has the same plot line and characters, and some of the scenes are told in the exact same way as they are in the novel. As well, the movie and the book give out the same themes. This story is about how all the people in the Great Depression were trying to escape their unhappy, lonely lives, but weren’t capable of doing so. The movie stays very true to the book even though some things are removed or added. Everything that is added or changed still works very well and captures the film perfectly.
There are many differences and similarities in the book, movie, and both. The book is some what different from the movie. There are many differences between the book and the movie. Like when PonyBoy and Johnny went to the movie theater Pony wished that he was big and buff like the guy in the movie.
Although the novel and film are similar in terms of plot and theme, they are different in terms of characters. Charlie’s emotions and personal trials were a large part of both plots because the whole story is about his personal maturation and experiences. Intolerance was an important issue in the life of Charlie Gordon because it was hard for him to be accepted anywhere else but the bakery. Although some of the original characters were removed from the film, their personalities were incorporated into that of another character.
The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin is a thrilling and mysterious novel that could be tuned into a great movie; that is if the director bothers to read the book first!

Madeleine L’Engle once said, “We can't take any credit for our talents. It's how we use them that counts.” A Wrinkle In Time is about a girl named Meg Murry, whose father was being held against his will in another universe, on a planet called Camazotz. After being introduced to three mysterious women known as the Miss W’s, Meg is joined by her classmate Calvin O’keefe and her younger brother Charles Wallace embark on a journey to Camazotz to find her father. The book A Wrinkle In Time is better than the movie; this is due to the plot, setting and dialogue.
After having read the play and seen the movie I am struck by a number of differences. Seemingly subtle, many small details have a great impact on how the story can and is being perceived. The movie offers much more background information on other characters and events that are important to the story.
To begin, there are many similarities and differences in the characters personalities. One similarity would be Aunt polly not having the hear Tom when he was being naughty in both the book and the movie. Another similarity would be Huck and Tom always acting michiviouse they’re always going on adventures and causing trouble for adults. One difference would be Huck in the movie seemed a little self centered, he seemed that way because when he had the chance to help Muff he didn’t want to because he was scared he would be killed by Injun Joe. Another difference would be Muff seemed more caring in the movie like when he was telling stories to the kids and he took them in the cave which made you feel a little sorry ...
