Differences Between The Book And The Movie The Natural

For instance, Flora made the book feel sweet and nice as you read it but in the movie Crow played that part in the movie. But since there wasn’t as many characters the pairs were also switched up. For me, it made things more confusing at the beginning to understand the plot but as the movie went on eventually I figured out that the characters who I know and love were not there.

Normally, when a movie is made about a story in a book the two stories are not exactly the same. The movie is adjusted by adding small details or leaving out some parts in order to make the story more

Sometimes in movie production a film is developed from a piece of literature. Directors will use the plot of a book either to create a unique movie, or to give the audience a chance to see what their favorite book is like when acted out on the screen. Willa Cather's "Paul's Case" is a good example of a work adapted to video. The movie has slight differences from the book, but the director Lamont Johnson follows the original closely.

The differences between book and movie, we think that the story of four children who go to live with an older man (a professor) in order to get away from the air raids that are occurring at home due to the war. The film begins with Lucy telling the others about Narnia and the wardrobe, and the events in Narnia with Mr. Tumnus are shown as a flashback. In the book, these events are shown before she tells everyone about them. The characters of Mrs. Macready, Father Christmas and the Giant Rumblebuffin are cut. (Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy appear to enter the wardrobe on their own, and Aslan gives them their gifts when they reach the Stone Table. However, Father Christmas is mentioned, and the jingle bells of his sled are heard.) Maugrim's name is changed to Fenris Ulf, like in the old American Version of the chronicles. While they are staying with the professor, they find a wardrobe in an empty room that leads them to another world called Narnia.

Roy is addicted to money and the judge knows this. The judge offers Hobbs $20,000 to throw the game, but Roy responds by saying he wouldn’t do anything to deliberately lose a game. “The judge summons Hobbs a new contract and Hobbs responds and makes it clear that he will do nothing to deliberately lose, sensing that this is what the judge is asking him to do.”(Overview: The Natural, pg.5) Even though Roy is addicted to money he overcomes his addiction and declines the offer. “The judge offers him $20,000 and produces crime scene photos from when Hobbs was shot by Bird-tracked down by Max Mercy-and suggests that he will have Mercy release the story and soil Hobbs’ reputation if Hobbs doesn’t cooperate.”(Overview: The Natural, pg.5) His passion for baseball overcomes his love for money as he declines the offer from the judge. “Hobbs gave the judge back his $20,000 to throw the game and says he will play his hardest.”(Overview: The Natural, pg.6) Hobbs cares more about playing baseball and playing fair, than having his reputation ruined from leaked photos of his crime scene. Other than Hobbs, there were more people that were confronted by the judge and were asked to throw the game. “Hobbs visits Fowler (another pitcher) and tries to convince him to not throw the game.”(Overview: The Natural, pg.6) Hobbs went to another pitcher and tells him that it’s best that he doesn’t throw the

First, one of the differences between the book and the movie was that the principal became an antagonist for a little while. In the book, Principal Williams was very supportive of Lloyd and LeAlan. She supported their reporting and was featured in their interviews at least two times. In the movie, Principal Williams was an antagonist. She accused David Isay of making the boys say what they said. She even went as far as to go on a radio show and say what they said wasn’t true and that because of the families they were from, they weren’t smart enough to say what they said. This changed the plot of the movie and deviated from the book.

Kevin Baker described him as “staggering in his self-absorption” (Baker, xii). This means that he is confident to the point that he believes he can do everything himself, and doesn’t care about the rest of his team. Roy is also a very greedy man, and his greed is accentuated by his baseball skills. For example, Roy’s contract entitled him to make three thousand dollars for the season. Within a few weeks, he decided that this was not enough, so he spoke with the team owner about a raise. In the novel, it says that: “He figured for himself a flat forty-five thousand dollars for the rest of the season” (Malamud, 89). Forty-five thousand dollars is more than most baseball players made in an entire season, and he was asking for this astronomical amount for only half of a season. Each of these traits can be considered one of Roy’s tragic flaws. His greed and his self-confidence both contribute to his downfall at the end of the novel, in which he is humiliated due to his acceptance of a bribe to throw an important game and lose the pennant. In the New York Times, an article written by Harry Sylvester stated: “Roy Hobbs almost achieved greatness, but was distracted or betrayed by people, objects, or events equated with elements in our environment” (Sylvester, www.nytimes.com/books/97/04/06/home/baseball-natural.html). Sylvester is saying that Hobbs has the potential to be a

Hobbs gave the money back to Judge Banner before playing and went on to play baseball. Unfortunately Hobbs was playing very poorly in the field because of his sickness, when Iris saw him playing badly she sent a short letter to Hobbs through the help of a security guard which read “I am pregnant with your kid so play for your kid.” After reading that message he was anxious and went to the field and played like a man. He

Majority of movies don’t follow along with the books as an example my class read “The Outsiders” was written by S.E. Hinton and the director for the movie was Francis Ford Coppola. “The Outsiders” was about seven friends that were greasers, three whom were siblings, a greaser is a person who has long greasy hair, live on south side of town, and they ain't rich kids, but one night something happened that changed everything . We ended up seeing the movie but some of the scenes were nothing alike the book. I mean to be totally honest there wasn’t a lot of errors just missing some important parts I wouldn’t say they added some scenes to it. Naturally they were young men acting like greasers, but they really acted really well as a family, that is what I think made the movie like a true family bond. I think how they acted like very close and like caring, it was really good because in the book and the movie they were all very close and they acted like a real family. This writing is about what the differences are in the movie from the book and what important parts I thought they missed and didn't put in the movie what kind of

The film follows the book to a certain degree, but obviously, some creative changes did occur. I think

It’s not difficult to figure out that almost every book with a movie made from the book will have some differences and some similarities. I can almost promise anyone that they will probably never find a book with a movie that is the exact same. This essay will point out some differences and similarities between the book and the movie “Ordinary People”.

Whenever books are adapted for film, changes inevitably have to be made. The medium of film offers several advantages and disadvantages over the book: it is not as adept at exploring the inner workings of people - it cannot explore their minds so easily; however, the added visual and audio capabilities of film open whole new areas of the imagination which, in the hands of a competent writer-director, can more than compensate.

Unlike the two stories we read in class, everyone struggles for survival, the naturalism idea in the movie is represented by people’s lust and greed, the desire for dominance of pleasure. People do whatever possible to gain those things.

Behind every great movie, comes a storyline that is derived from a book however, most of the books to the movies have a great number of deviations. The screenwriters and other staff members to include the director come up with these deviations to enhance the plot in the attempt to make it a more interesting film to which in turn can make a better profit. The majority of differences that is found in films main objective is to enhance the mind. For example, when a scene has the ability to get a particular feeling out of a viewer, it is imperative to be able to understand the reasons for those feelings. The dialog and the visual effects of a scene sets a tone that differs from that of the book that it was taken from. Also, screen writers and
