Lovely Bones Vs Lovely Bones


Above, we have the wonderful trailer for the movie Directed by Peter Jackson
I didn't even have to write a post about Book Vs Film today because I find that The Youtube User: Beyond Books Did this more justice Than I could have. So here we have it Alice Sebold's Lovely Bones VS Peter Jackson's. Enjoy his comparison!

BREIF SUMMARY
A story of a young woman, by the name of Sophie, being cursed with looking 90 years old. She becomes a cleaning lady of the local wizard (and hot shot) Howl. Both were good stories in their own right. Both a beautifully done.

DIANE WYNNE JONES' VERSION
-has far more detail about the main characters Sophie and Howl.
-Michael (Markel in the Animated version) is actually in his teens
-The book talks of Sophie's sisters
-Sophie and Howl's Relationship is further explained

HAYAO MIYAZAKI VERSION
-Beautiful Artwork (esspecially the castle itself)
-Profoundly deep characters
- the story is different from the book but it's its own unique piece of art.
-Both the English and Japanese Versions are good. This is a difficult thing to do for Japanese to English Audio as it has to be dubbed over.
-Howl is less of a play boy to make him more appealing to the female audience (My assumption anyway)
