Anne Frank Comparison (movie and book)

The comparison between Anne Frank the book and Anne Frank the movie was a tricky one. If you were the type of person that read the the book you would say it was very boring. With reaccuring scenes everyday and Anne's soap opera-ish style of writing (which does not appeal exciting to many). When looking at Anne Frank the movie you would get a better perspective on the emotional side of the story. The movie would give you a better insight on the story (that is if the story is accurate to the book) with its music, body language from the actors, and scenes. The downside of wacthing the movie is that it's already some other person's perspective on the story. If you had happened to read the book first you would already have a picture in your mind of every scene and wacthing the movie would be wacthing someone else's view on the story.

My responce: I think that the best thing to do is read the book and get a feel for the book then wacth the movie and look at someone elses point of view. Analyze the charachter's pesonalities, appearances, and body language to that of your own and try to compare the two and come up with your own perspective.
