Ender’s Game, the movie, based off of the book Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, shows the overall idea that was conveyed in the book. The movie was a good representation but it did not capture the major details that made the book a good book. One major detail that was lost during the production of the movie was when Peter and Valentine took on new identities as Locke and Demosthenes. Another major detail that was left out of the movie was when the adults treated Ender unfairly and caused lots of stress for Ender. The last difference that the movie did not put enough time into the production was the Mind Game. The first major detail that was lost during the production of the movie was when Peter and Valentine took on new identities as Locke and Demosthenes. In the book, Peter had the idea of new …show more content…

The Mind Game had many different places and always adjusted to Ender’s thinking and it was its own intelligence that even the creators of the game couldn’t change. In the book, there were lots of adventures that Ender had to go through and it was much more challenging for him. The author also describes “The End of the World” to look like a utopian scene and not a desert and ruins surrounding the castle. The Mind Game was a wonder to Gaff and Anderson and they had used the game to see how Ender strategizes and how he handles tough challenges that test his perseverance. In the movie, it had stated that the Mind Game had only been open to Ender and not the other kids while in reality, the game was open to every single kid but they didn’t have enough perseverance to go through the game after the choosing of the two glasses of mysterious liquid. The movie shows that there is a lack of attention to detail and it really does change the movie significantly because it doesn’t show the things he truly had to endorse in the Mind

The Westing Game, a very interesting book with the plot and the character setting aligned perfectly. Yet, the movie and the book, not so matched perfectly. There are many similarities, but also many differences. In my opinion, the book was much better, I think it was better thought out and described. The plot, characters, and book itself was very different and similar at the same time.

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.

Now you know why the book and movie of Ender’s Game are so different and why the book is better. The movie adds unnecessary parts to it like ender when Ender had gotten tranquilized. It takes out many important parts in the movie like when Ender goes to salamander army. It even uses some important parts, but switches important things like dialogue, action, and even points of time.

This difference weakened the movie because less of Ender’s struggles were depicted and there was less conflict to catch the viewer’s attention. These parts were left out of the movie mainly to save time. Another difference between the movie and book was the drama and conflict that followed after the Bugger World was destroyed. In the book, there is a conflict that occurs on the space station between the Russians and parts of the I.F. The conflict ended with the Locke Treaty that was proposed by Peter.

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.

In the classic novel Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, Andrew “Ender” Wiggin is a young man who lives in a futuristic world where hostile extraterrestrial beings known as “buggers” have attacked Earth twice, and they almost wiped out mankind in the Second Invasion. The International Fleet (I.F.) plans to attack the bugger world a third time to wipe them out for good, and they take Ender at the young age of 6 to a space station called Battle School to prepare him and other children to possibly graduate to Command School and fight the buggers. Throughout the novel, Card develops Ender’s character traits using influences from other characters, plot development, and Ender changing as he grows older. At the beginning of the story, Ender is 6 years old and wears a small device on his neck, monitoring his behavior to find out whether he is what they need to fight the buggers.

This lessens the scope of how much the International Fleet has been lying to Ender, leading to the reveal being less dramatic. The movie also completely erases the Locke and Demosthenes subplot, removes the epilogue of Ender moving to a colony with Valentine, and then replaces it with Ender finding the queen bugger’s egg on the same planet as the Command School and leaving to find a safe home for it. This also gets rid of the parallel between Ender and Peter at the end of the book, where it’s pointed out that in spite of Peter being portrayed as exceedingly cruel, he prevents the war on Earth which saves millions of lives. Ender kills billions of buggers in the Third Invasion, almost wiping out their race completely, despite being described as gentle and not wanting to hurt anyone. The movie’s tendency to cut anything not deemed an important event also makes it seem that Ender is unaffected by most of the events that occur.

These similarities are important because they show that although the two books have very different environments, the main characters are manipulated by adults. One difference between the two books is that in Ender’s Gamer’s the kids are there to fight the buggers and save Earth, but in the Hunger Games, they are there only for the entertainment of the viewers who are watching the games live for their amusement. In Ender’s Game, Ender has an entire army when fighting on ships, and has a lot of high tech devices made for aerial combat. However, in The Hunger Games, Katniss can only get small weapons from bags that she finds and only has herself for protection. Another difference between Ender’s Game and The Hunger Games is that it is.
