Have you ever read a novel then wanted to watch the movie about that same novel, but the book and the movie were different?

But in the 1992 movie that was made about stienbecks novel many of the same characters had very different characteristics than the characters in the novel did. For example there was two main characters that acted and had total different characters than in John Stiensbecks "Of Mice and Men." The first character that was different in the movie than in the novel was George. What made him act different in the movie than in the novel was that he seemed to be a lot meaner to Lennie than in the novel.

Tuck Everlasting Some people have difficulty deciding which is better: the book or the film. Natalie Babbitt wrote the story Tuck Everlasting and Disney made a version of Tuck Everlasting.
