The Outsiders
It is common for films to be made about stories and books. Sometimes the film makers change some of the characters or events in the film to make it more popular. The film “The Outsiders” is based on the novel “The Outsiders” by S.E. Hinton. The movie is better because of the visual aspect of the plot, characters and the stylistic features. The plot is the most important of the plot, characters and stylistic features.
The plot of both the novel and the film show the terrible things that happen when the Greasers and the socials, otherwise known as the socs. The socs live in the west side of the town and are very popular. They come from wealthier backgrounds than the greasers who live the east side of the town. The movie focuses on Johnny and Pony Boy’s adventure and the troubles that Pony boy goes through at home. The movie portrays this better by giving the viewer a visual effect and more of a feeling towards what happens. This is how the Movie portrays the plot better.
The characters are the socs and the greasers. The greasers are from very poor background who struggle to survive every day. They are led by Darry who looks after his two brothers Pony-Boy and Soda-Pop because their parents died a couple of years back. Jonny and Steve are other members in the gang. The socs live on the rich side of town and drive around in fancy cars. There are only a few members of the main gang, bob and cherry who are in the main events of the movie like when they were at the drive in. The movie is better at showing the characters because you get a sense of what they look like and how they interact with each other. This is why the characters are easier to relate to in the movie then the novel.
The stylistic features of the film include visual choices and symbolism/motifs. This makes the film better because it explains visual choices and symbolism better, because the viewer is able to see it. Some examples of this include sunset. This is a symbol for childhood innocence.  The film explains this better because the viewer is more engaging than the film. This makes the viewer more emotional towards the characters. This is how the film uses the stylistic features to make the viewer more engaged in the film.
The film was a spectacular in the way it used its characters, plot and stylistic features to make the people more engaged with the movie. This is how the film makes the viewer’s listen more and become more engaged with the film rather than the novel.
