What Is The Difference Between The Hobbit Movie And The Movie

The novel “The Hobbit”, or “There and back Again”, written by J.R.R. Tolkien tells the tale of a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. This story has been adapted into three films, as well, by the filmmaker and screenwriter Peter Jackson. Throughout Jackson’s “The Hobbit” trilogy, he encompassed little of the most important components of the Tolkien’s literary edition. There were many differences between the two adaptations of the story. For instance, Jackson gave major roles to a variety of characters in the movies that never showed up or were only briefly mentioned in the book, characterized Bilbo and the dwarves much differently than in the book, and told the story through the use of a framed narrative. Overall, between the literary edition and filmic

For instance, in the book, the character Radagast is only ever briefly mentioned as one of the wizards of Middle-earth, but in the movie he appears consistently throughout the plot and is a key character by aiding the dwarves, Bilbo, and Gandalf several times. Radagast was only really added to the movies to tie “The Hobbit” trilogy closer to “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy for Peter Jackson’s sake. Then, there is the character Tauriel, who doesn’t appear anywhere in “The Hobbit” or even in “The Lord of the Rings”. She is a Mirkwood elf who is the head of the Mirkwood Elven Guard. Her purpose in the films was to create a female interest in the movie, because there are almost no females that have any significance in the book. Finally, the most important character addition is the Orcs, specifically Azog the Defiler, head of the orcs; he killed Thorin’s grandfather, Thror, in battle and is out to “wipe out the line of Durin”. Azog is made to be the main antagonist of the film, whereas he is only briefly mentioned as the beast who killed Thror and is also switched from being a goblin in the book to an orc in the movies. His role in the movies also shows him having a strong affiliation with Sauron, making the trilogy a stronger prequel to “The Lord of the Rings”

In the beginning of the story, when the dwarves arrive at Bilbo’s house, differences in characterization first appeared. For instance, in the book, Bilbo openly offers the dwarves drink and food when they arrive even though he does not know any of them. He does get more and more flustered as the dwarves arrive, but he does not outright tell them to leave, instead he fetches them food and drink willingly. Though, in the movie, Bilbo offers and fetches food and drink for the the first dwarf that arrives, but as the other eleven dwarves arrive they take the food themselves. As this commotion occurs, Bilbo screams at them not to take his food: “Excuse me not my wine! Put that back. Put that back.” Then, the next morning, after the dwarves have offered him the job as their burglar, more differences occurred. In the book, Gandalf meets Bilbo in his house shortly after Bilbo wakes up and has to nearly shove Bilbo out the door to go join the dwarves on their journey. Whereas, in the movie, Bilbo decides all on his own that he wants to go on the adventure and excitedly runs out of his hobbit hole to join the dwarves on their adventure shouting, “I’m going on an adventure.” This simple difference creates two very different versions of the Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves. In the book, Bilbo was polite and timid around the dwarves and the dwarves were respectful and
