Hound Of The Baskervilles Book Vs Movie

429 Words2 Pages

Both The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and the movie The Hound of the Baskervilles created by David Attwood are two artworks that tell very similar stories. Despite this, there are still many differences between the book and movie, such as in the order of events, or the portrayal of key characters. Parts of the movie that differed from the books made no significant changes to the story compared to how Doyle told it, and the similarities reinforced your confidence of it being the original story.

The portrayals of Sherlock Holmes’s character in the book and movie are not the exact same. For instance, in the beginning of the movie Holmes was made to seem arrogant, and ruder to Watson and people in general. Following this, Holmes was much kinder and courteous relative to the book. Due to this, viewers were made to be less fond of Holmes’s character, it seemed as if the director was desperate to save Holmes’s likability by making him a lot nicer near the end. This difference had a big influence on the tone of the movie, as it made Holmes seem so uptight that he was unapproachable. …show more content…

Cheswick Book Vs Movie Analysis

917 Words | 4 Pages

I believe that the reason the film version is so different from the novel version is because the producer did not envision it adapting well to screen play very well. Also if every detail in the book was put into the movie, it would be over 4 hours long to really capture it all. The producers knew they needed to keep their viewers attention somehow and playing a 4 hour movie with many lulls in it would have been a disaster. Instead they decided to take the biggest points in the book and place them back to back in order to keep the audience 's attention. There were many differences in the film from the book but three of the biggest ones are Cheswick’s death, the nurse with an imperfection and the point of view the movie was shot in compared to the book.

No matter how hard directors and screenwriters try, it is impossible for any movie to be a perfect reflection of the detailed plot and intricate characters presented in a novel.

They slightly differ from one another. The novel is set way into the future with many types of new technology and obviously very new laws on censorship. The film is set in a contemporary futuristic setting, but it lacks some major features from the book. Three big ones are the wall-sized televisions, jet-powered cars and most importantly, the mechanical hounds. The main reason I say the most important is the mechanical hound is because it has a large roll in the government trying to capture Montag.
