Freak The Mighty Movie Analysis

286 Words1 Page

After seeing the movie, and reading the book for Freak The Mighty, I could find many similarities, and possibly a greater amount of differences. In my view, one of the biggest similarities was that Max was able to stop his father from killing Loretta, and ultimately get him back to jail. Although Max stopped his father from killing Loretta, she still had to wear a neck brace for weeks after in both. That was a very big part of the story and the movie. One reason it had such a big impact was that it was the climax of the whole story. I thought that it was good for them to keep the same main idea in both. Next, the main difference is that Freak never goes to the hospital in the movie. In the movie Freak died overnight, and Max never visited him

  • Max Book Vs Movie Essay

    The film Max was almost exactly like the book Max. All of the major points in the book Max were portrayed in the movie perfectly. The parts in the movie Max that was not identical to the book were minor parts. For example, one of the parts in the book that was not accurately shown in the movie was at the very beginning when Justin was creating a video game disc for Chuy’s cousin in the book they were in Justin’s room and in the movie they were outside. But since that was not a major part of the book it did not matter that it was changed. Another thing that was altered from the book to the movie was how Justin found out his dad was going to try and kill Max. In the movie, Justin was home while his dad raced home from work and rushed to the backyard and attempted to force Max out of his cage into Justin’s Dad’s truck. In the book, Justin was at work with his father and overheard Tyler and his dad talking about how Kyle died and Justin had to race home after his dad to save Max. In the book, it emphasized how Justin would try to do the right thing for Max and the family.

    Certain scenes seemed powerful and well interpreted. Both Ralphs and Piggys were well selected and portrayed in both movies. Simon in the second version seemed too young for the big role he was given in the book. Also if you notice in the second movie, the director added kids of color. A huge drastic change since in the book they were all English boys in during World War II. When you think about it, you imagine them blonde, blue eyes, and fair skin. So to add different ethnics in this movie was a bold move, you wouldn’t know how the people would react to that. Which brings me up the accents of the boys. One movie actual English accent while the other was an American accent. The author emphasized that the boys were English and to put kids with American accents set the thing off. Which brings up the choice of language in both movies. The black and white version they used a lot of dialogue from the book. They mostly made the movie just as the reader would imagine. While in the second movie, the director’s choice of foul language for Jack to use towards Piggy was a shocking reaction to the viewers, as you didn’t expect him to say that.

While this movie served as a humble beginning for Logan Lerman, and included some (then) well-known stars, it was probably the product of a crew first out of college.
