Johnny Tremain vs. The Movie

            The movie about Johnny Tremain was an excellent remake of the book though it is true that there were some differences/missed parts. Both the movie and the book did describe Johnny getting a crippled hand while making silver though the movie didn’t insist that Dove hand Johnny a cracked crucible but that Johnny had just accidentally poured it on himself if I’m not wrong. There is also the point that Cilla doesn’t have Issannah at her side at all! Cilla’s personality in my opinion is affected greatly not hanging around with Cilla as all she cares up about is insulting Johnny and caring for her self. So one thing I learned from the movie that I couldn’t have known just from reading the book was that character moods and behaviors change when less or more characters are involved in a story. The main storyline though were both the same in the book and the movie from Johnny working at the laphams as a silver smith all the way to the beginning battles of the revolutionary war. In general the movie is a satisfying portrait of the book other than the fact that it specifies more importance on certain parts!
