Books and movies are rarely ever the same due to directors wanting more action then the books usually have, so people who read the book first always just come back to it rather than the movie since they found it more interesting. When different mediums are compared of one story (the book or the movie) it always seems to be a split between the community, and I believe The Hobbit is quite different when the book and movie are compared to another, however, the book crafts a stronger story, whether it

his passage comes well into a very long poem which I doubt the character Mary would have memorized. The audience needn't know that; many may know no more than she does when she calls the author Pope Alexander. She quotes as she's trying to impress a boss she loves. Kaufman has that knack of painlessly explaining his subject right there on the screen. Consider how much information about evolution he embeds in his screenplay for "Adaptation." Kaufman, the most gifted screenwriter of the 2000s, is

The play encapsulates two stories running in parallel meaning that the vast majority of the performers played a character in each story. The initial story featured an author Stine adapting his novel into a screenplay, whilst the second showed Detective Stone and the other characters of the novel portraying the following scenes as they come to life in Stine’s head.

In the Westwood’s movie, most of the plots and settings are similar as those in the novel, except the abridged background information and some minor modifications.

As Long Island continues to be overcome by an appalling Heroin epidemic, with no indication of improvement on the issue in sight, there was no better time to display the significance of the issue through an IMovie. Additionally, this specific issue connected to myself and personal experiences in such a way that would make this movie and its sense of humor serious to portray. The fact that I have begun a new chapter of my life outside of Long Island, created the perfect exigence for me to go back

The two narrators in the stories, “The Bass, the River and Sheila Mant” and “Lessons of Love” have many comparisons and contrasts with each others story.

The second event attended was watching the movie A Quiet Place. It is a horror/thriller movie where the monsters are blind and only track their prey using sound.

The use of sign language in the movie is very intriguing, it does not portray it as odd or anything it just is the main form of communication in the film. The film “normalizes” sign language to the point where you forget it is not the normal
