When dividing the book and movie of Enders Game into sections, we can clearly see that the movie was far more better than the book, at least visually. Not only did the movie show us greater details than the book, it also gave us an idea of what the characters and settings looked like. Some scenes that prove that the movie is richer in quality than the book; is the fight with the buggers at the beginning, the battle room scene with salamander and leopard army, and when Ender goes on the Bugger 's planet to talk to the queen. Let 's begin from the movie with the scene of the bugger 's invasion. At the beginning of the movie, we see the Formics ' (buggers) attacking Earth.
Ender’s Game v.s Ender’s Game movie After I read Ender’s Game I watched the movie and I can’t say the movie was bad, but many things in the movie were not relevant at all to the book. The movie was way too short and they fast forwarded too many things. They also dumbed down the twists like when Ender destroys the Buggers when he thought it was a simulation game. It even ditched all the somewhat important things. They must have cut out over 2 hours of plot between every new scene.
Evaluating Kessel’s Game Is there a such thing as an innocent killer? Can someone who destroys a planet and commits mass genocide be viewed as a hero? According to John kessel this is attempted in Ender’s Game a science fiction novel written by Orson scott card in 1985.

Do you think you could handle having the fate of the world in your hands? Well, this prodigy, Ender Wiggin, did not think he could handle it, he could not even handle fighting with his brother Peter.

In Orson Scott Card’s novel, Ender’s Game, Ender is indirectly characterized as being confident and strategic. A specific example of Card’s characterization is when End challenges boys twice his age to play in a video. Ender knows if he loses he will never hear the end of it. Card describes his efforts towards the boys as, “Ender was deft enough to pull off a few new maneuvers that the boy had obviously never seen before… Ender won it quickly and efficiently” (47). Specifically, the word, “deft” highlights Enders calmness and confidence when against the older boys.
People do bad things; they could steal some money, break a mirror, or kill an entire alien race to save his people. One boy managed to do it in Enders Game which is a tale of a young boy who will soon find out what his purpose in life is. Ender Wiggin, a six year old boy, is asked to go to battle school to prepare for a 3rd war with an alien race. When all the battles stopped; he finds an egg to produce more of the aliens and tries to find a planet for them to live. This great story was made not just a book, but also a movie and between the two, the movie shows more of a visual outlook on how Ender defeats an army of aliens.
Through the comparative study of Ender’s Game (1985) by Orson Scott Card, and the Wachowski’s film, The Matrix (1999), the meaning of texts is enhanced and thus shows how different texts are still able to reflect similar ideas, and through diverse contexts, shape their representation of these ideas. Both texts explore the notion of privilege in society and an individual’s journey to self-actualisation. Texts are shaped by the value of the context they are composed in and this is evident through the comparison between the two texts, Ender’s Game with child soldiers and Cold wars, in correlation with Matrix where it was a time of globalisation and a rapid technological growth, and when studied together enhance their meaning.

` In May of 1977, Star Wars: A New Hope was released with overwhelmingly positive reviews and marking a new era in cinema. The writer and director of the film, George Lucas, decided to expand upon the Star Wars universe in 1999 by making Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, with a story that took place before the original film’s story. This movie was made with advanced equipment and cutting-edge CGI (for 1999), nonetheless, the movie was panned by critics and enraged an entire generation of moviegoers.
