“The Hobbit” written by J.R.R Tolkien and movie director Peter Jackson, both has different moods. The title of the book “The Hobbit” is an interesting title because it grabs the reader’s attention which leads to more people reading it. The movie has showed way more detail than the book, because the movie had showed lighting, sounds, angles, and framing. The book tells us what is happening but we don’t know what sounds were used and if the framing is a close up or a long shot. Jacskon’s changes in the movie were more effective. One difference in this part of the story is when . For example, “You had better wait here”, said the wizards to the dwarves “and when I call or whistle, they begin to come after me. “ You’ll see the way go, but only in pairs, mind about five minutes between can pair of you, Bombur is faster and will do for two he had better come alone…” (Tolkien 117). This evidence shows that the wizard is telling the dwarves that when he calls, they all come after him even the first time. These are the reasons why the book and the movie has a big difference. …show more content…
Although, the many details were the same in the book, were the same as the movie but, some of the reasons were different also.
For example when Gandalf had come to save Bilbo and the dwarves he had used his powers but in the movie he cracked the rock and saved Bilbo and the dwarves. Meanwhile in the book Gandalf had rescued them by an invisible appearance. Gandalf kept on interrupting their conversation by saying false statements and made a voice resemble to the troll’s voices. This was a really big in the movie because it changes who Gandalf’s powers are shown. For example, in chapter 2 “ Excellent! said Gandalf, as he stepped from behind a tree, and helped Bilbo to climb down out of a thorn-bush…It was the wizard, the voice that had kept the trolls bickering and quarreling, until the light came and made an end of
them.” In my opinion I believe the movie is better than the book. I believe in my opinion because the movie shows more detail and explains everything way more clear. If there was no movie some people would probably not understand the book as much as the movie. The movie shows the tone,mood,setting, and the characters so much better because we can see and visualize what is happening or what is about to happen. This is why I believe if there was no movie many readers would not understand the topic of the book as much. In conclusion the movie is more effective. The movie is more effective because it shows more detail. The movie lets you see what is happening, it would feel like you are there experiencing all of this while it is happening. The directors took a creative step on entertaining the audience because it's not the same as the book so it wouldn't sound boring and you wouldn't know what is about to happen every time.
book was blander. The book did not catch my attention as much. The movie really caught my
Second there is more detail in the book than the movie. Well, I think that more detail is better because the more you know the better you understand the movie or
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 book Hoot and the movie Hoot are very alike and very different. Some people like them both but some people only like one, or neither.
In chapter four a massive storm hits and the dwarves and Bilbo find cover in a cave, which actually belong to a group of goblins. Durin...
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien is a magnificent menagerie of nearly every form of figurative language and continues to impress the millions who discover his work. The Hobbit is one of the greatest epitomes of sophisticated yet riveting work brought to life by utilizing similes, metaphors, imagery, and symbolism in the book. In each of his illustrious works, Tolkien bestows a particular personality and The Hobbit, especially, is no exception.
J.R.R. Tolkien’s book The Hobbit, has sold over 100 million copies and is translated into about 50 different languages, in about 17 years. Another popular book that was written by C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, has also sold over 100 million copies and has been translated into around 47 languages, since it was published in the 1950’s. These two amazing authors have written many other popular books, but the connection between The Hobbit and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is rare. The two novels were loved by so many people that they were made into movies and are part of a sequel. The discoveries that can be made about the two authors, novels, and the connections between the books are extraordinary.
In the case of the Argonautika the book illuminated every step of the journey that the Argonauts took but in the movie there were major parts left out and the story line was skewed severely. If you compare the Odyssey, the book and the Odyssey the movie, the movie was much closer to the book, yes there might have been things left out or changed for the purpose of making the movie easer to view, but there weren’t large chunks left out or changed severely. For instance, in the movie Jason and the Argonauts, the voyage home was left out completely. They got the fleece and got in their boat and in a few moments were back home. This was not an accurate account of the trials of the Argonauts. The Argonauts had many hard ships getting back home because they could not go the same way they had come, because the Clashing Rocks were now to forever stay together never to reopen once a ship successfully passed through them, as did the Argo. Also the Argonauts had the Kolchians following them wanting to get Medeia and the Golden Fleece
Usually movies try to take the story to a different level or by adding parts or just try to change it to a completely different story. Some of the differences between the movie as to the book are some little and large differences. They might also try taking little parts away that will change how the readers see the story characters. An example of that would be Walter not smoking in the movie (Pg 115). Walter usually smokes because he is stressed or just as a way to relax. Walter also does not get punched by Mam...
In JRR Tolkien’s novel The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, the protagonist, undergoes the five stages of the hero’s journey: departure, initiation, the road of trials, the innermost cave, and return and reintegration into society. When the adventure is all done, Bilbo takes away an important lesson about who he is from his travels. Thus The Hobbit, the novel by JRR Tolkien is an example of a heroic quest for identity, because the protagonist, Bilbo goes through each aspect of the hero’s journey and learns about who he is.
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.
In J.R.R. Tolkien 's novel, The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins goes through a classic representation of the Hero’s Journey. Throughout the story, Bilbo transitions from being a complacent, sheltered hobbit, to a more adventurous hobbit. The Hobbit has all three parts of the hero’s journey; The Departure, Initiation and The Return, all of which is interpreted throughout the quest.
The book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone differs from the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in many ways. Most of these differences include characters and scenes. The two ways to discover this Harry Potter adventure are to either read the book or watch the movie. In fact, a person would want to read the book if they wanted the entire perception of the story and all of the information inside; whereas, a person would want to watch the movie if they wanted a rough sketch of the story. The two have dissimilarities but the person choosing to read the book or watch the movie is in charge of what they want to have. That is, the entire story or just a rough sketch of the story.
Another big difference is that the movie shows Dorothy’s journey as a sort of dream that she is having. This dream includes the people in her life as the characters in Oz. The book gives the audience a different understanding of her journey. In L. Frank Baum’s version, you are lead to believe that Dorothy’s adventure is real, and that everything she experienced actually happened to her. All of these differences in the two versions of Oz give the audience a very different look into Dorothy and her adventure. I had only seen the movie when I was little, and after I read the book, a lot of the plot gaps were filled. It was also interesting to see the two different versions. I think I enjoyed both the movie and novel equally; but if I had to pick one, it would be the The Wonderful Wizard of
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 ...
