After reading the book, half of the movie can't stand it anymore, and I don't like the change. Feel free to count the differences between books and movies.
1. Time of the story: The original novel George Dumbledore died in 1957, and the film was changed to a few years ago.
2. Characters:
·William Dumbledore changed his name to Bill Dumbledore. Bill was more fond of William than William, and it was a reasonable change. William knew very well that George was dead and had his arm torn off, not that he had been unable to accept this as in the movie. His bicycle silver boy did not show much in the movie. William’s problem is that his family lost its warmth after George’s death. His parents subconsciously blamed him, and William blamed himself.
·The background story of Mike (Little Black Boy) has been changed. In the original book, Mike’s parents did not die, nor did he kill the sheep at all. Mike and the others were not in the same school. They went to a church school. It is not Ben, but Mike who sums up "it" the most. Mike has been doing this since he stayed in Delhi. The problem Mike encountered was racial discrimination, a continuation of Henry's father to Mike's father to Henry's malicious continuation of Mike's.
· Ben’s specialty is architecture. The librarian likes Ben very much. The small dams and secret bases in the wasteland are all built under Ben’s command. What I saw was not a photo, but the vision that William and Richard saw was a photo.
· Stanley did not fail to memorize this passage of Scripture. There is no big problem in his own family. The problem is that the outside world makes him seem out of place as a Jew. What he met was a strange bird, not a painting.
Eddie always wears asthma sprays and uses them very often when he is nervous and scared, but this is not shown at all in the first half of the movie.
· Henry's follower Patrick is not the way to die in the movie. Beverly saw part of it while hiding.
· Beverly is a poor boy who is not seen by rich girls. He smokes and has not been accused of licentiousness by other girls, nor has he seduce shop assistants. The whole plot of buying medicine was added by the movie itself. Her father often overruled her and beat her in the name of worrying about her. She often has bruises on her body.
·Henry’s dad is not a policeman, he is an ordinary man who has become more and more crazy after going to the battlefield. Henry was also a victim of his dad. Henry's hatred of Mike was the beginning of his father, and his father had a holiday with Mike's father.
Mike's father died of cancer. When he was young, he served as a soldier with a black man named Dick and escaped from the fire. Dick was later the chef of COSCO Hotel in "The Shining".
· Richard likes to say strange things and imitate the accent of others. There are some things in the movie that I don't think he and Eddie would say.
·The children have never infighted nor really flinched and escaped. They are determined to deal with "it" without hesitation. In the end they were forced into the sewers by Henry, who was crazy enough to kill, and Beverly was not caught alone.
The actors are very suitable, but I really want to give the movie 2 stars after watching the original.
