Changing a story into a film proves to be a difficult task when it comes to using similarities and differences. Writers and movie producers want to be able to keep some things the same in order to keep the main idea when transitioning from a short story to a motion picture. On the other hand, there will also be some alterations between the two in order to add little details to distinguish between the two. In both productions of The Most Dangerous Game, the short story by Richard Connell and the recreational film by Irving Pichel and Ernest B. Schoedsack, there are some resemblances, which keeps the storyline remotely the same. However, there are some differences to add little touches to both.
“I’ve always thought,’ said Rainsford, ‘that the Cape buffalo is the most dangerous of all big game.’ ‘No you are wrong sir… I hunt more dangerous game.” The book, The Most Dangerous Game written by Richard Connell, is about a stranded big game hunter, Rainsford. Who finds himself on an island where General Zaroff, the owner of the island, hunts humans for sport. A very unusual tale that happened to be popular enough to be composed into a film.
Once he found something he was good at, he became obsessed with winning, becoming something, and showing everyone that he wasn’t just some poor German kid. He wanted to prove to the bullies that he is better than them and he wanted to make them regret bullying him as a kid, he wanted to prove it to his mom that he could go to college and he would be okay, he wanted to show everyone that even though he is small he could still win, and to himself to never give up. When he set his mind, he never gave up and for that, I admire
Two completely different storylines, one film and one short story, yet there’s so much in common about them both. The story “The Most Dangerous Game” stars a hunter who feels what it’s like to be hunted, and fears death in an isolated island. The film High Noon tells a story about a marshal who wants to protect his western town when a criminal is coming back for revenge. Both the short story and film are two completely different stories including their characters, yet they also have many similarities such as the conflict and theme that make up the plot.

The environment he was in, surrounded by all these awful people, influenced
He was very resilient and learned to adapt to his environment. He without a doubt changed throughout the story and that makes him a dynamic character. Had he not made the change throughout the story he would have been a static character, however he makes an astounding character development. He reminds me of a child lost in the woods at the beginning of the book and changes into a character with lots of intuition and bravery by the end of the

Everyone looked down to him, because he would always be in the wrong place at the wrong time, so he would always get blamed for things. He was blamed for stealing the shoes, because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. (sachar 7) He also got bullied a lot at school, like everyone laughed at him when he walked down the hallways. No one could really trust him because they think he stole the shoes.
Walt Disney made many films for Americans during the Great Depression and harsh times of the Second World War. He impacted Americans psychologically and politically through his movies; but he impacted Americans socially through his characters. Walt Disney created everyone’s favorite character “Mickey Mouse” to entertain children and adults alike. He started making movies to bring happiness to everyone during the Great Depression, but what not everyone knows, he was labeled as a “Nazi.” During World War II, he made propaganda films for the Allies while attending the Nazi rallies.
Carrey had a rough upbringing. He had dyslexia and always struggled with school and making friends. To complicate matters further he was also the youngest of four children in a poor family while his mother struggled with depression. As a result of this, Carrey had to quit school at age fifteen in order to get a job as a janitor to help support his family. Throughout all of this, one thing he learned and kept with him was his ability to make people laugh.
Steven Spielberg has done many great movies that I have enjoyed. He uses some consistencies throughout his films. He leave his trademark on most of his films which are the similarities in his movies. One similarity he uses is the roaring sound effects. For example, in the films Jaws and Duel he uses the roaring sound effect to show that the antagonist in the films has died.
Henry Fonda made more external attributions for the boy’s behavior. For example, Fonda commented on how the boy had been slapped around all his life and was treated nothing but poorly. This proves nothing about his character but the was he was treated growing up. Then there is another different belief Ed Begley had referred to the boy as a slum kid making him known as a judgemental/stereotype person. He tried to support the idea that there’s something about slum kids and they are rotten.
People to this day still find horror and beauty in this film, finding this film an extraordinary masterpiece executed by director, Steven Spielberg. Some people do disagree with the images shown in the film, however, as a whole, the entire community who thoroughly enjoys films agree the accuracy of this film that did not hold back any viewing content truly added greatly to the film. Perhaps the most touching reaction came from the place where it all started. The premiere of Schindler’s List in Germany with a room filled with 800 people – Germans and Jews, diplomats and artists, film makers and people who had known Oskar Schindler when he lived there (Whitney, 1994).
