I was more impressed with the story. The movie changed some things that I thought would be good in the movie. I dont make movies but maybe they changed some things for a reason. I liked Victor and Thomas's relationship better in the story. Victor didn't seem quite as bitter or resentful. Like the fight in the movie was because Thomas upset Victor by talking about his father but in the story they fought because Victor was drunk this makes for a better movie to me.
A couple other parts that I would of liked to have seen in the movie. One part was when Victor was interacting with the council trying to allocate funds and the other part was when Thomas thought he could fly and jumped off the school roof flapping his arms. The story seemed kind of of rushed or for maybe a younger crowd than the movie but overall the story was more impressive and I'm basing this decision primarily on Victor and Thomas's relationship. I would like to see an exact depiction of the written story on film.
Hi Brian,
ReplyDeleteIn the written version, I too liked the relationship of Thomas and Victor. Victor wasn't as bitter, but the author did a good job portraying their characters as it was in the movie. Some details written in the story would have been nice to have seen in the movie also.
Hey Brian,
ReplyDeleteI too liked the relationship of Thomas and Victor more in the story.i agree 100 % with everything you've talked about.
Brian,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you insights about the movie. It seems as though a lot of our class liked the story better than the movie. I cannot argue with this fact because the story in fact was better than the movie. There were just such greater details in the story than in the movie. I agree with your reasoning that the producers should of put some parts in the story in the movie. It defintiely would've made for a much more interesting movie. Thank you.
Hi Brian,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the story seeming to be kind of rushed. I may have like the story better if it was more developed and gave more background of the characters. Some of the details were great and I would have liked them played out in the movie. What was with the grils driving backwards in their car. The seen were Thomas could fly would have much better than something that had notheing to do with the main characters.
I also felt that the story seemed to be rushed. I enjoyed the movie better. I enjoyed how the movie went into more detail about why Victor's father had left the reservation. I did however like the relationship that Victor and Thomas had in the story better than the relationship they had in the movie, but I liked that in the movie they were able to work through some of their problems on the journey to Pheonix. I think that it gave more meaning to the trip to Pheonix than just going there to retrieve Victor's father's ashes. I felt that the story was very hard to follow and left out a lot of great and much needed details.
