The Outsiders Book Vs Movie

Decent Essays
The movie was not good because it didn't have many details.This is about The Outsider’s movie and the book and in my opinion the book is better than the movie.The Outsider movie and the book both have some similarities. They have more different than similarities.

The film mostly stayed close to the original source of information. Similarities are how Johnny and Ponyboy hide in the church or how Johnny gets hurt in the church fire. How Dally gets shot by the police and how he die. Even Johnny death is the same. How he dies in the hospital bed. There's way more differences than similarities trust me.

One of the major change is between the novel and the film is, the book moves at a slower pace than the movie. The movie moves at such a fast pace that by the time any characters die you don’t feel much for them. The book has more character development than the movie,it make feel more for the characters in the book, but the movie does not make you feel for the characters. In the movie the acting feel fake and rushed, the book feels real and more well thought out.

The most important difference between the movie and the book of The Outsiders' is….. drum roll please (drum roll noises) how Ponyboy shows us his thoughts in the book. When I was watching this movie, it just really annoyed me. Ponyboy is showing his thoughts in his mind and makes you feel more of what he's feeling. It shows more details about the story. The movie and the book both have many

    Some of the similarities was that the movie had some of the same exact lines from the book such as, “I got a good chance of bein’ let off easy” (Hinton 87).

    In the The Outsiders book and movie, many similarities and differences can be noted. Some are very noticeable, and others are not as much.

    In “The Landlady”, Billy Weaver is lured into a seemingly normal bed and breakfast by an old lady who, despite her gentle and unthreatening appearance, wants to kill him. It is a story about how those with cruel intent may take advantage of those who are innocent and naive. Although the book and the movie can be arguably similar if generalized, there are many differences that may change the way a reader/viewer may grasp the concept of the story. Since a movie and book cannot be exactly the same, the film version is bound to have things that differ from the text. One example of how the book develops the development of the story is with the setting.…
