O Pioneer's Movie Vs Book
O Pioneer’s was a good movie, but an even better book. The movie did a good job at getting the point of the story line across, but not so much with the character development. I actually finished the book after watching the whole movie so I knew what to expect. I anticipated everything that was going to happen because I wanted to know if it would be the same as the movie. While the plot did not change, there were many things that the movie ceased to explain. For explain, I would have liked to know more about Frank and Marie’s relationship.
They were both portrayed as though they did not want to be in their marriage. After reading more about them I understood Marie more than I did when watching the movie. I also learned a little more about Frank, although I was still confused as to why he was such an angry man. In the movie he just seems like a weird depressed old man. After reading about how the couple met, it became clear that Marie’s love for Frank was just lust. Frank also seems much younger when reading about him.

Part IX of “Neighboring Fields,” is particularly my favorite part because it shows how Emil acts with other girls when Marie is around. It is obvious that he wants to be with her and that she wants to be with him, but they cannot because Marie is married. While watching the movie, I could visually understand why Marie really did not want to be with Emil. I could understand it in the book as well, but the movie showed that particular part
