Compare And Contrast The Five People You Meet In Heaven
The Five People You Meet In Heaven by Mitch Albom, has a lot of similarities and differences regarding the book and the movie. In the movie, Eddie’s co-workers appear talking about Eddie, whereas in the book, there was no scene or part with the co-workers. Another difference would be that unlike the book, there was other prisoners there with Eddie and his men in the movie, but there was nothing said about that in the book. The first similarity would be that in the book Eddie did keep a picture of his girlfriend in the war, as well as in the movie. Eddie’s second person in the book was also the same as the second person in the movie, his captain. And lastly, the captain said the exact same words and sentences in the movie, in the same way as

    The second comparable scene is when the Socs and Greasers line up to fight each other. They are smack-talking back and forth with each other. Two similarities between the book and the movie could be the sound of the greasers and socs talking back and forth, and it both showed or described how the greasers and socs were lining up. Two differences between the book and the movie could be instead of Paul swinging at Darry, some random Soc swung at Ponyboy, and the empty lot looked different than what I had imagined when the book described it.The book was more effective during this scene because It gave more detail about how the lot looked like and it described the feeling better than the movie…

    The characters in the novel and movie differ, yet have some similarities. There are the officers, Sam, Virgil and Bill, who are the same people in the novel and movie but have many differences. Some people in the book aren’t even in the movie or have different names which makes quite a difference, especially if they had relationships with people in the movie. For example, in the novel, Chief Gillespie is tall and well built, and in the movie he is short, chubby, and always chewing gum really loudly. Another example is Virgil Tibbs, he is humble and rarely talks back in the novel, “Sam took immediate command. ‘On your feet, black boy,’ he ordered, and crossed the room in five quick steps.”(15) But in the movie, Virgil talks back almost every single time someone talks rude to him, and he is also rude in the movie about some things. Sam Wood and Virgil Tibbs become good friends in the novel, but in the movie Sam and Virgil don’t even become friends, but Virgil and Chief Gillespie became good friends. In the novel the victim’s name is Enrico Mantoli and in the movie he is called Cobert. “Ten minutes later, the body of Maestro Enrico Mantoli was brought in.”(24) In the…

    There are actually a lot of similarities in the movie and the book but most are very small and not easily noticed. What you have to understand when looking at a movie or reading a book based on the same story is that it is basically impossible to have everything due to the facts that they are portrayed by two…

    On the contrary, in the movie everyone arrives by a ski lift to a cold, snowy mountain. Many of the indictments are changed between the two works. In the book, General Macarthur put his wife’s new lover in the frontline of battle, but in the book General Mandrake sends 5 men to their death. Miss Emily Brent scolds a woman into suicide in the book, while in the movie Miss Burgan kills her husband. Vera Claythorne let’s a young child drown in the book, and in the movie Ann Clide said to be responsible for the death of her sister’s fiance. Philip Lombard from the book killed a whole tribe by depriving them of provisions, while in the movie he is said to of killed the mother of his unborn child.…

    All the characters are the same in the novel and the movie but the way they portray their characteristics in these two dimensions are totally different. In the novel, the author’s pen which jot down the adjectives add on to the beauty of each character but in the movie, the actors and actresses reveal their talents in acting artistically and classically as they are taught too. This actually led to some misjudgement while watching the movie. For instance in my opinion, Leonce Pontellier is a male chauvinist in the novel and it is not an uncommon sight of that era but in the movie, he is portrayed as a villain, opposing Edna’s character which makes the story gets out of track. The director could have paid more attention to the characters and understand them denotatively and not just superficially.…

    One thing in particular that the book does much better is making use of complex metaphors and themes, such as: the river for life, and oneness with nature, that string themselves together as you turn each page of the book, while in the movie the metaphors and symbolism are represented in a much different way through picture. In the book, both themes regarding the river are very vivid and clear, as they use strong imagery of nature to draw pictures in the minds of the readers. In the movie both themes are represented and referred to much less because of the lack of narration.…
