Reflection #4

The Best Adaptions
1.MoneyBall- The combiation of the the buissness acpect and the baseball aspect of the book was shown well in the movie. I like how they went into detail with how they decide on witch players to choose. I also like the fact that they also showed how imoprtant Brad Pitts character daugher was to him. The movie showed very well just like the book how much the sport of baseball ment to the people in the story. The movie also depicted sabermetricks very well.
2. Of Mice and Men- I like this one because they stuck to the story. This movie flollowed the book almost exactly and the characters looked exactly like I imigined they would. They did a great job invoking humor and emotion that i felt during the reading.
3. Lord of the Rings()- I think that lot of parts were left out but most of the important parts were kept in the story. I also understand why they had to keep it shorter because the book is so long and so many things, it would take too long to make a move. And it would be hard to get a movie in the theter thas 5-6 hours long.
4. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secerets- This used the most important parts of the book, and they used a good amount of humor. They did leave out many things but i wouldnt say they were they most important things the imortant plot points were kept in.
5. Fight Club- I picked this even thought they choose to leave certain parts out in the movie. I thought the way the actors portryed the the characters from the book was perfect. They showed the two diffrent personalies and made act complety diffrently just like the book. Also they kept the intro to the book the same as the movie wicth was important becauese it was used to intraduce the narratior and tyler.
