when the legends die

“When The Legends Die” Novel/Movie Contrast Joe McNew June 8, 2000 The book, “When the Legends Die”, was pretty good. Then some idiot had to go and make a movie out of it. In contrasting the two, I found alot more differences than similarities. The first similarity came when Blue Elk came and took Thomas Black Bull to the reservation. Tom had trouble with the kids as in the book. Brother Bear was chained up and …

…and got into the big tournament. Both had their strong points. The book was better...way better. This is a good example of why a movie shouldn’t be made from a book or at least a person may want to consider skipping the movie if they really liked the book. Although, the movie was better in some areas overall I would definitely recommend the book over the movie. In conclusion, movie = F book = A.
