    Medicine River enjoyed the book Medicine River, by Thomas King as well as the movie, which was based on the book.

Although the book and the movie clearly relayed the same story, I would " ve better enjoyed the movie if it had included more inci...

    The Last of the Mohicans By James Fenimore Cooper The book, Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper was very different from the movie Last of the Mohicans in terms of the story line. However, I feel that the producer and director of this movie did a good job of preserving Cooper's original vision of the classic American man surviving in the wilderness, while possibly presenting it better than the book. The makers of the movie Last of the Mohicans preserved Cooper's central ideas and themes...

  • Japanese In The Movie
    729 words
    Good Book, Bad Movie There have been many book to movie conversions, yet Rising Sun by Michael Crichton was one that had gone horribly wrong.

In fact, in his afterward to the novel, Crichton says, "The Japanese are not our saviors. They are our competitors. We should not forget it".

    East of Eden: Book / Movie Explanation John Steinbeck's epic tale, East of Eden, is portrayed very accurately in Elia Kazan's film adaptation of the novel. Though the screen adaptation of East of Eden is an excellent portrayal, one of the most probable reasons for deleting sections of the book were constraints of time and money. Apparently the directors choices to delete certain sections of the book obviously did not affect the movie or the books plot line too greatly. The director most probably...

Lastly, the novel shows Scout as a girl caught in the middle, when the movie seems to paint Scout as a girl without a inkling of what is going on. The book shows t...
