1. What do you think is the most important difference between the written and filmed version? Provide evidence with specific details.
I want to start of saying that that the movie was terrible, I don't want to say terrible but it wasn't the best. I imagined the movie being at least closer to the book but unfortunately that is not the case.It ended up to be way different.The actual case with Tom Robinson was great it stated the bases of the article and took enough time for it to be played, but they missed some key parts. What they missed was more important for the coming out of Boo Radley then the case.
When Boo Radley came out in the book to protect Jem and Scout he had another appearance when Scout was watching Miss Maudie's house burn down. She was watching it and didn't notice that Boo put a blanket around her until it was later revealed at her house. This ties in to another event in the story though, there first real feel of snow. Which explains why Miss Maudie's house burned down."Probably the flue in the kitchen. I kept a fire in there last night for my potted plants." In the movie they didn't include either of these scenes. This was a Key part to the book because of Boo's first real appearance outside of his house.
For me this was a key part in the book and it disappointed me that they didn't show it in the movie. I would have really like to see Miss Maudie more and have the talk with Jem. Overall the movie wasn't as great as I thought it would be. Everyone knows the book is always better though so I shouldn't have put my hopes ups to high, but then again it was during school.

I like that you backed up your opinion well because in the movie they focus a lot on the case and make Boo Radley not as much a deal while in the book I felt like it was huge when you see him at the end.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. I agree with you that the book was better and that the movie left out some very important scenes. I also agree with you that the trial was portrayed accuratly but that the Boo situation was very different.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your terms as to why you preferred the book over the movie. I definitely feel that the Boo Radley scene was much too different for it to be truly enjoyed and compared to the book. I too feel that a majority of the time, movie lack in comparison to books, and also find myself lowering my standards when watching them.
