Why The Joy Luck Club Sucks
1,106 words... e portrayed in a better light than the Chinese men in the movie. I don't think there was a fourth husband. In the one unbelievable relationship with the lone Chinese husband, one daughter splits all expenses 50 - 50 with her future husband even though he earns 7 times her salary! She even ends up marrying the tight bastard. Now tell me, is that reality? Did she really believe he loved her? Did she really love him? Would any modern Chinese woman be that stupid? I don't think so. Let's see wha...

Read The Book Tragic Hero
896 wordsWhen one has read the book carefully, one will agree that Molina is more a tragic hero than a melodramatic heroine. Hes disastrous or tragic in the way that hes a victim of society and that he hides himself from the real world by telling movies and imagining that hes the heroine in the movie. Molina would rather believe hes this heroine than confront the real world. He thinks that these movies are more interesting than reality. Because he hides from he real world and because he doesnt get accept...

Movie Recreation Of The Lord Flies
839 wordsFollowing the norm is just too hard. Movies do not allow audiences to create their own imaginary island with their own group of boys. In the novel Lord of the Flies, there are many things that lead to the obvious time developing characters, mentally stimulating and systematic dialogue that allow the reader to interpret the book to their liking. This puts Lord of the Flies book superior to its 1990 motion picture. Noticing that a movie is subject to a very small bracket of time, it unfortunately ...

Examining The Film Rendition Of Great Gatsby
750 wordsThe Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald captivates the reader and creates almost an addiction to the novel. I as the reader found it difficult to put down many times throughout the book. Sadly, I did not have the same feelings for the movies portrayal. In fact, the way I reacted to the movie was almost the exact opposite of how I reacted to the book. Obviously the producer of the movie had created different images in his head than I had created when I read the story. First and foremost, the perf...

Great Gatsby The Book Compared To Film
519 wordsThe fact that I did not enjoy reading The Great Gatsby is irrelevant to the fact that I hated the movie. Though I didnt enjoy the content of the book, I respect Fitzgerald. I respect the honesty that is reflected in his writing style. I respect the depiction of the era in which The Great Gatsby took place. This movie is an unbelievably terrible attempt at bringing this book on screen. The major insights made in the book dont even have references made to them in the movie. The viewer never truly ...

Damsel In Distress Good And Bad

The setting of the movie was also aimed to make a certain impression on the viewer and besides sometimes was even giving some clues to the viewer about possible future events due to the influence of the setting not only on the situation, but also on the characters too. Spade was portrayed to have much more power in the Huston film than in the book...
