Comparison Between Movie & Book



The Time Traveler's Wife the movie is very different from the book. I had watched the movie before reading the book and i fell in love with the love story between the two main characters. When I started reading the book i was mesmerized by how different the love between the characters was. Clare played by Rachel McAdams did an outstanding job at portraying the emotions of Clare, but the story did not feel complete due to the lack of detail being left out. Simple things were left out for example the number of children Charisse and Gomez have. In the movie it shows two but in the book they have three children. The book portrays so much more detail than the movie but the majority of movies are like that. This book would have been a huge challenge to create into a movie due to the two perspectives of the two protagonists. It would be difficult to get both sides of the story of the entire story in two hours. Besides the fact that some of the important information was left out of the movie I think that the movie was a pretty good version of the book. With Rachel McAdam's as the lead female role it really brought character to the entire movie based around her character.
