BOOK VS MOVIE- HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE

 

HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE:BOOK VS FILM

    So,today I’m going to write a review about Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince’ book and film and my thoughts about it.I have mixed feelings about the films.When I was young,my addiction for the books made me suspicious of the films and ready to nitpick them.For examples,why are Harry’s eyes blue and not green? Hermione’s hair isn’t bushy enough and why didn’t Mr Weasley brawl with Lucius  Malfoy in Flourish and Blotts?. But as I grown older I have learned that they can’t follow the books word for word and It would be way too long for starters.In fact,they are all too long already.I understand that some changes are needed to make this films more dramatic and concise,and generally I’m on board with the alterations made in half-blood prince. This film does prove that going a little bit off-cannon can sometimes work really well.In the book,for example,we have no clue what Malfoy’s doing in the room of requirement.In the film we get some insight into his story as well as Harry’s,and those sequences with the bird and apple really notch up the suspense.I also like the scenes at the beginning when the girl in the cafe who flirts with Harry,the breaking of the bridge in the Muggle world when they hint at some of the themes of this installment for example,the romantic stuff.In a nutshell,Half-Blood Prince is good addiction to the Harry’s Potter series.The book gives us a few too many hormonal teenage moments like that monsters growling in Harry’s gut every time he think about Ginny but I love the lighter tone,all the flash back chapter and the ending is pretty epic.The film,as usual,is a bit over-long and why do all the later films have that dark tint to them?They literally get darker but the acting is great as always,the ending is dramatic and there is plenty of humour yet one of the best Harry Potter series.

Basically, th is song is about body image. It's directed to women, but I think men can relate to it as well. It's just a song about these things that certain women go through on a daily basis in order to feel loved or in order to love themselves. I think that this issues is what that goes on to today's world. T...

  INCEPTION MOVIE REVIEW               Inception is such a mind-blowing movie, masterpiece storytelling and the Christopher Nolan's number one film while also being one of the greatest science-fiction action movies ever made.In my opinion, this is one of the greatest movies of all time. Everything about this movie is amazing. The cast, which includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hardy, and Cillian Murphy, is amazing. Each actor/actress perfectly matches the character. This movie is quite unique, I guarantee that there is no other movie like this. The script is very well put together, which leaves you with a great experienced.For me this movie is quite complicated to understand the story plot but if you give your full attention to this movie you will enjoy it. The main plot of this movie involves people using machines to go into other people’s dreams. Once they are in the dream they can extract information or plant an idea into their mind. It is really c...
