The Bourne Identity/Book vs. Film
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page comparison between the film The Bourne Identity (2002) and the 1980 novel of the same name by Robert Ludlum. The writer argues that the screenwriters accomplished the tricky business of adaptation by keeping characterization and certain aspects of the novel, but disregarded the rest of the novel's plot. In so doing, the film pays homage to the novel, but it is not the same story. Consequently, the film is edgier, less cerebral, more action-oriented than the book, which is a formula undoubtedly designed to appeal to today's audiences. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

The China Syndrome vs. Dr. Strangelove / Fear & Burlesque
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page analysis of these two films, directed by James Bridges and Stanley Kubrick respectively. The paper looks at the very different ways fear of technology is handled in these two movies, and concludes that while both movies show that technology in the hands of inept or unprincipled people can lead to disaster, Dr. Strangelove is able to express that fear through satire because the American people were losing the immediacy of their fear of being bombed. The China Syndrome expresses that fear directly because its topic is as close as today's news. No bibliography.
