The Hobbit Book Vs Movie Analysis

The Hobbit The Hobbit, like most good books these days, was made into a movie. Also like most books that have been made into movies, there is many similarities and differences. Characters and scenes were Changed. The biggest character change I noticed was the Pale Orc. The scene change that stood out to me the most was the eagle rescue. The Hobbit was changed from book to the movie by adding and changing Characters and scenes In the movie the Pale Orc plays a lot bigger role than in the book. The book version only mentions The pale orc once. In the movie he is one of the biggest protagonists. At the beginning it shows a flashback of a battle between the dwarves and orcs.

The Pale Orc defeats Thorin, but just before he could cut off his head Bilbo jumped on his back. Around this time the eagles come and start attacking the wargs and orcs. Just like the book the eagles come just in time. The biggest change was the part when Bilbo jumps on the orc and saves Thorin. This is very significant because Thorin gain respect for Bilbo.

The Eagle Rescue scene was changed so Thorin would gain respect for Bilbo, and so Bilbo could break down the barrier of being a coward, and become the hero. To me these are too of the biggest changes between the book and the
