ESSAY ON: Michael Shaara, Comparing the Book and Film

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page essay that compares the 1993 film "Gettysburg," directed by Ronald F. Maxwell, with the novel on which it is based by Michael Shaara, The Killer Angels. Examination of the film shows that it faithfully follows the details and descriptions of the battle of Gettysburg that are related in Shaara's book and it also dramatizes the relationships between the officers of the Union and Confederate armies, taking the viewer into the thought processes and perspectives of the principal leaders, which is a quality prominent in Shaara's book. However, in the film, poetic license is taken with the book's material in order to increase the dramatic effect. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
