Brief Summary Of The Most Dangerous Game Movie Vs Book

There has been many occasions in the modern day where movies are made from a story or book and the movie seems to have very little related to its inspiration, but little did I know that this has been happening since the 1930s. The Most Dangerous Game movie tried it’s best to stick to the original plot but many details have been altered for the sake of cinematics.

The Most Dangerous Game short story was written by Richard Connell and was released on January 19th, 1924. The story follows a man named Sanger Rainsford, a well-known hunter who has released a book or two on the subject of hunting. In The Most Dangerous Game movie, released on September 16th, 1932, eight years after the release of the short story, Robert Rainsford is our main protagonist.

Robert is greeted by Count Zaroff, and finds two other ship wreck survivors in the mansion as well; Eve and Martian Trowbridge. Sanger Rainsford is quickly protected from the man with the gun and is welcomed by General Zaroff and no one

But I feel that The Most Dangerous Game movie just changed too much that they didn’t need too. The main thing that bothered me was the incorporation of Eve and Martian. I would have preferred the movie with out them, because I feel like it took away from the creepiness of the original, especially when Rainsford it’s trying to survive the night. The movie portrays it more that Rainsford is trying to protect Eve, rather than Rainsford protecting himself.

Another really big change that I didn’t enjoy at all, was the ferry crash. I do understand the idea of it, and being honest, that’s what I originally thought was going to happen in the story. What didn’t need to happen however, is literally everyone dying expect Rainsford. I feel like, theoretically, that makes no sense. If one man managed to survive, at least one other person would have been able to survive as
