Sherlock Holmes: Comparing The Book And The Movie

Show More
In the short stories of Sherlock Holmes and the movie, there was many differences. From my observations of reading the short stories I noticed that nowhere in the short stories was mentioned about him in a car. But in the movie there is a few scenes where there’s cars and I saw him in one of them. From this in formation I have to say that the short stories and movie take place in different time periods.
Another difference I found was the way Sherlock Holmes acted. His attitude in the book was calm and quit. In the movie he was more of an “I don’t care “type of guy and says anything that comes to his mind. One similarity I found was that in the short stories and the movies he sounds very smart and in the movie he plays to be smart.

    One difference would be that Dr. Roylott wasn’t the way the author described him in the movie. In the story, he was described as being big, strong, and tall. In the movie, he was the same height as Sherlock Holmes (a little smaller) and he wasn’t as big. Dr. Roylott could put the iron stick in a circle, but Sherlock Holmes could too. Another difference would be that instead of Mr. Holmes and Mr. Watson staying in the Village Inn they stayed in an old house in the forest.…

    Maloney's killing, is another big element which distinguishes between the book and film.

The author builds minimal suspense. And yet, in the movie, the audience feels great suspense.…

    Essay On The Bride Of Frankenstein

    The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) Movie Review The Bride of Frankenstein by James Whale was a very interesting take on the classic story. It continues with the original story of the Monster and his maker Frankenstein, with similar themes as the first installment. The biggest theme that it centralizes around, is the idea that the monster needs a friend, or mate as the title might give away, a bride. In this movie, the monster got his wish, and more.…

    The Maze Runner Movie And Book Comparison Essay

    “Lame…” is what I thought to myself once I finished watching the movie “The Maze Runner.” In my opinion, I thought that The Maze Runner book was way better than the movie. When I read the book, I believe I was a sophomore in Ms. Brown’s class and I shockingly liked the book. The reason why I say shockingly is because I never read books and when I do, I rarely like them. After we read the book we watched the movie, and I thought that it was a real disappointment.…

    Compare And Contrast The Hound Of The Baskskervilles Book And Book

As for the movie adaptation, it opens on an autopsy is being conducted on Sir Charles Baskerville where the viewer is directly introduced to the plot. Also, the book contains the story of Sir Charles Baskerville’s relationship with Laura Lyons, which is very much connected to the resolution of the story but is not included in the movie adaptation.

    Argumentative Essay: Books Vs. Movies

    It seems an unfair view to expect a movie about a book to be exactly the same down to every single detail. Communities of fans will always find something wrong with a story, for it has “failed” to match expectation. Books are a place where someone can be dragged into the story and forget about everything else for a short while. Movies do the exact same thing, except it is seen as an easier way than books for a lot of people. Ignoring obvious differences (such as the fact that one is in picture form, and the other is in words), movies and books may not be so different after all.…
