The Outsiders Book Vs Movie

446 Words2 Pages

As I watched The Outsiders movie I realized that there were many differences and similarities to the book. Overall, me being picky, personally thought that the movie was different from the book. I liked the movie, however, I think that I would probably like the movie better if I hadn’t had read the book, that way I would feel so strongly about the who I think the characters are. The scenes were pretty accurate to the book in the movie and there weren’t a lot of scenes that were different, or not in the movie. One of these times was in was in the rumble when it started raining, even though it didn’t in the movie. I think they made it rain because it adds dramatic effect. Another changed scene was in the beginning when Ponyboy comes out of …show more content…

I think knowing that is very important because you don’t really know who the characters are. I think that if I hadn’t read the book I wouldn’t have known who anybody was, and it would have been hard to follow. Also, I don’t think people would have really understood what a soc and a greaser is, and why they fight. A piece that was missing in the movie was Sandy, she didn’t even exist in the movie, but I think that wasn’t very important part of the movie. It was probably a good thing they didn 't have her in the movie because The Outsiders isn’t really about relationships, and probably would have confused people more. An important part of the book that wasn’t in the movie was a lot after Dally died, they didn’t have Pony getting sick, the court, Randy coming again to see Pony, or the teacher telling Pony to write a composition. In my opinion, the only one of the scenes that I think should have been there was the court. The court is significant because of the fact that then you know everything turned out alright for Pony. In general, I think that the movie didn’t quite capture the theme in the book and the lessons that Pony learns throughout

My final is about the difference between the book and the movie “The Outsiders.” This next paragraph is about the description difference between the book and movie. Then the paragraph after that will be about the description of the background or cars that the characters drive or live in. I think that the move and the book where basted of the same story but I think that when the directors made the movie with some different cars or house that can change the movie or they put different things in it so that the movie will look better. Altogether the movie and the book were pretty good and had good meaning to it about want to think of life and it’s alright to not be tough and hard.

There are comparisons and contrast in the movie and the book “The Outsiders”. For example in both when Ponyboy and Johnny run away from after killing Bob they go on the train to the abandoned church in both. They are similar because in the story and movie Johnny kills bob then runs away with Pony. They go to Dally where he gave them a pistol and told them to jump on the train and get off at the second stop Windrixville and go to the abandoned church on top of jay mountain. Another example of similarities between both is they still have all the main characters in the greaser gang.

In the book Of Mice And Men, compared to the movie was a little different but also very similar. Something I was glad to see stay in the movie as well as the book was, the dream farm. One of my favorite parts from Of Mice And Men, was when Lennie got to pick out his puppy from Slim. A very sad part of the book and movie is when Lennie kills Curley 's wife, after that you just kind of know something bad is about to happen. Then, it happens and George finds Lennie and instead of the guys finding him and torturing him George makes a bold move and shoots Lennie.

The book has more eventful scenes, some scenes more valuable than others. I feel like students will find more things to connect to in real life situations from reading the book than viewing the movie. “There are a million ways for the movie to go wrong” (The Atlantic). That 's why i believe movie makers should really pay attention to details in the book and incorporate it into the movie to make it more successful. I absolutely love the book.

The book has been created into a movie that captured the hearts of many and created a visual for what everyone had read in the book. It is set in 1960s America at the peak of the Cold War and Civil Rights Movement. Focusing on the movie version of The Outsiders can reflect many events or feelings during the Cold War.
