Storyline: To Kill A Mockingbird is a film based on a novel of the same name by Harper Lee. It is about a family, Scout, Jem and their father Atticus Finch. Most of the plot is based on when Atticus takes a case of defending a black man who is accused of raping a white woman. The story is from the point of view of the youngest “Scout” based in the 1930’s. While teaching his kids life lessons Atticus is taking on his hardest case. Review: In the movie there are many differences some that affect the perception of the topic that is underlined in the book. Such as when Jem, Scout and Dill snuck onto the Radleys lawn and porch, but got scared and tried escaping and Jem's pants got stuck in the book Mr Radley shot his gun to scare them off initially which made them run and Jem when back when it was dark out to retrieve his pants but, in the movie when Jem’s pants got stuck he got home with scout and ran back …show more content…
The difference in the movie is that only one time when they found their hidden treasure Scout was there all the others Jem found by himself and showed them to scout latter on, also they see Mr Radley cement the tree and watch him do it. One situation that I was very upset did not make into the movie was when Jem had to read to Mrs Dubose because he got frustrated with her talking about his father so much so he destroyed her flowers. The lesson that his father needed to teach was you never know what's going on in someone's life so you do not have the right to treat them a certain way ( poorly). In the end Mrs Dubose dies from a serious illness that no one knew she had. These situation to me were significant in the book and had some lessons to be learned and i was upset that they did not make it into the
In my opinion there are a lot of comparisons between the film and the book, but there are also differences between them too, but also they have impacted the audience in both the film and the
The most significant change from the book to the film was that in the movie they add a visual on Dally's robbery while in the book it really doesn’t explain this or give us a good visual on what happen, and this is significant because it can explain and give us a good visual on what had happen making us understand Dallys emotion after Johnny's death and it shows why he was chased by the cops and shot down. In the book, author S.E. Hinton doesn’t give us much of a description on the robbery possibly, taking away the emotion from Dally after the death of johnny. This makes it a little harder to understand the circumstances of Dally after or during the robbery. Francis Ford Coppola adds the robbery into the movie adding emotion and the mental pain that Dally was going
Particular similar events had happened in the Novel and clip. The first event happening was one of the main one. It was how a white woman had accused a black man for fake rape. In both stories it shows how a colored man was being blamed for a faults accusation. The novel showed Mayella blaming Tom and the video showed the three women blaming Shakir.
They were different because in the book Billy had 3 sisters and Billy had a scarecrow as a trap to trick the raccoon. The movie skipped all those things and I thought that that was important because they removed one of the family. In the book Billy didn't do school work and in the movie Billy did. When Billy got his dog, They all slept in a cave and in the movie they slept on the
For instance, in the book, one of the characters, Ms. Stephanie Crawford called out student Walter Cunningham. This was significant in the book because it described a social status presented in the book, yet the movie skipped over it and didn’t acknowledge much of it. Another big aspect that the movie left out from the book was the significance of the trial. The trial in the movie seemed almost mediocre. It didn’t seem nearly as interesting or dramatic as in the book.
Nonetheless, the movie version of To Kill a Mockingbird was released in 1962, and it starred Mary Badham as Scout and Gregory Peck as Atticus. While it’s ideal for the film version of a novel to match each other, there are several similarities and differences between the film and the novel versions of To Kill a Mockingbird (Packard 10). There are several things such as narration, characters, and focus that the movie version accomplished compared to its novel version, and vice versa. Narration Unlike a novel or written material, a film or any other visual content can make the first-person narration of a story very difficult.
The novel portrays the characters in greater depth and tone than the film version. One example is that, Scout's father, Atticus Finch, who is portrayed as a strong, morally upright character in both the novel and the film. However, the novel provides readers with a more in-depth understanding of Atticus' beliefs, values, and struggles. For example, Atticus's speech to the jury during Tom Robinson's trial in the novel is more detailed and powerful than in the film.
Another difference is that in the movie they go into town, but in the book it 's never mentioned. Something else that was different was that in the book the mood was happy most of the time, while in the movie the mood was sad. A difference between the book and the movie is that in the book momma was going to burn Byron, but in the movie she does not burn him. A big difference is that in the
Allison Foote Mrs. Marton Adv. Eng. 9 25 May 2023 To Kill a Mockingbird Compare and Contrast Imagine living in a world of prejudice. A black man getting accused of rape even though he didn’t do it.
A notable difference between the film and the novel is that the Boo Radley plot, one of the two plots in the novel, is introduced far earlier in the film than in the novel. This causes certain events that ultimately shaped the Boo Radley plot to be omitted from the film. For instance, when Miss Maudie’s house burned down in the novel, Boo Radley put a blanket around Scout so that she wouldn't be cold. “Mr. Nathan was at the fire,” he babbled, “I saw him, I saw him, he was tuggin’ that mattress-Atticus, I swear…” “That’s all right, son.”
There are a lot of similarities and differences in the book and in the movie. One difference is in the book, Madge gave Katniss the MockingJay pin but in the movie Greasy Sae gave it to her. Another difference is that in the book Katniss was younger when Peeta tossed her a piece of bread but in the film she’s older.
There are many simularities and differences in the book and movie " The
There are details left out of the movie that were in the book, the movie doesn 't demonstrate the ongoing theme of hunger as well as the book does, and the the movie does a better job with
The most important similarity between the book and the movie is that the plot is very much the same. Quite often in book-to-movie adaptations, the movie has the same characters and some similar plot elements, but it seems that very few movies are a solid visual representation of what the book actually is. To Kill a Mockingbird, the movie, is a very good representation of the book in many ways: the actors accurately portray their characters, all the major plot points are shown, and the setting is the same. However, the way in which the movie and the book portray certain emotions or depict different scenes is, what I would consider, the greatest difference. In the book, the only way to describe scenes and characters and emotions is through words.
As I mentioned above, the major differences were appearance and point of view. The other information that was mentioned is very similar to each other, just with less detail. In my opinion, you have to read the books to get a better understanding what is occurring in the movie. This happens in a lot of book series that turn into movies. Overall, the book was better by far.
