  • Much Ado About Nothing Book Vs Movie

    1668 Words  | 4 Pages

    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.

  • The Big Sleep: Movie vs. Novel

    1588 Words  | 4 Pages

    Film and literature are two media forms that are so closely related, that we often forget there is a distinction between them. We often just view the movie as an extension of the book because most movies are based on novels or short stories. Because we are accustomed to this sequence of production, first the novel, then the motion picture, we often find ourselves making value judgments about a movie, based upon our feelings on the novel. It is this overlapping of the creative processes that prevents us from seeing movies as distinct and separate art forms from the novels they are based on.

    1609 Words  | 4 Pages

    It is debatable if a book is better than the movie or the other way around. A famous idiom says: “A picture is worth a thousand words,” which is not really reasonable when it comes to novels like the Harry Potter series. All the books are filled with so much information that can’t be captured in a film with 24 frames per second. During the filming process of Harry Potter, a lot of the original story in the book was changed in the script. The effect of the three main characters along with the information of the storyline have been changed or omitted.

    Everywhere I go, everyone I talk to that has the same reading interests as me, they all agree that the show or movie made out of the stories are not nearly as good as the stories themselves. They all agree with me that one is better off reading the book alone, and not watching said shows or movies. It may be hard to believe at first, as I was one who didn't believe it, but after I started reading Manga, I started getting hooked onto it, I stopped watching the Anime adaptions in general, and soon the same will happen with the books I am reading.
