Paragraph:
Personally I think that the movie was better than the book. But the film did change some things in the book. For one the film was not in sequential order, it skipped around to different chapters. Another reason why the film is different than the book is because they made some characters appear more in the film then in the book. Tracy, a girl from The Slabs was shown a lot more in the film then in the book. The book gives a picture one what really happened on Alex’s adventures. This is one way the book is superior to the movie. At times it got a little confusing on what was going on in the film. This is because the movie skipped around to different parts of the book. If I were a review and I had to review the book and film I would probably say that the book told more about Chris McCandless and the people he met, as well as his journey. The film was very well put together and there were parts where the graphics were put together nicely. For example, sometimes in the film the pictures would fade in into different scenes and words would be written on the screen. I thought that was a very nice touch to keep the audience interested on what was going on. I also the actors and actresses in the film portrayed the characters from the book. Both Chris McCandless and Ronald Franz were played very well by the actors. Overall the movie was excellent and so was the book.
