is as good as the book?Why or why not?Take The Call Of The Wild as an example.The Call Of The Wild野性的呼唤野性的呼唤Book by Jack LondonFilm by Harrison FordThe Call Of The Wild:4 big differences between the book and the Harrison Ford film1.Buck has more backstories.In the book,we dont get to know Buck very well before he is taken,and the judge,played by Bradley Whitford in the film,is only ever referenced.We just learn what and where Buck is and then hes off.However,in the film,we know Buck is taken by a stranger who knows he can make money off him.I think the film is better because:2.Harrison Fords character is alone.In The Call of the Wild film,Harrison Fords Jack Thornton is a man living in the Yukon territory,where so many people are searching for their fortune,but Jack is not.He moved there simply to be alone because he lost a son and could not bear to be around other people.This back story is created specifically for the film,as Jack Thornton in the book is a different man.3.Jack is killed by Hal.Hal survives much longer in the film,because he ends up becoming the films main villain.He follows Jack,assuming he is hiding a major gold find,which turns out to be true.Hal and Jack get into a fight that burns down the cabin,and Buck arrives just in time to make sure Hal burns with it,though not in time to save Jack.Im sure this will come as a shock to you,but this Hollywood version of The Call of the Wild added in entire action scene that dont take place in the novel.The action scene is when Francois and Perrault are crossing an iced lake,Francois falls into the cold water.Buck then jumps into the lake to save her and nearly drowns himself.Honestly,if the Francois from the book had fallen into the lake,Buck would have likely let him go.4.Theres much more action.Thank you！

is as good as the book?Why or why not?Take The Call Of The Wild as an example.The Call Of The Wild野性的呼唤野性的呼唤Book by Jack LondonFilm by Harrison FordThe Call Of The Wild:4 big differences between the book and the Harrison Ford film1.Buck has more backstories.In the book,we dont get to know Buck very well before he is taken,and the judge,played by Bradley Whitford in the film,is only ever referenced.We just learn what and where Buck is and then hes off.However,in the film,we know Buck is taken by a stranger who knows he can make money off him.I think the film is better because:2.Harrison Fords character is alone.In The Call of the Wild film,Harrison Fords Jack Thornton is a man living in the Yukon territory,where so many people are searching for their fortune,but Jack is not.He moved there simply to be alone because he lost a son and could not bear to be around other people.This back story is created specifically for the film,as Jack Thornton in the book is a different man.3.Jack is killed by Hal.Hal survives much longer in the film,because he ends up becoming the films main villain.He follows Jack,assuming he is hiding a major gold find,which turns out to be true.Hal and Jack get into a fight that burns down the cabin,and Buck arrives just in time to make sure Hal burns with it,though not in time to save Jack.Im sure this will come as a shock to you,but this Hollywood version of The Call of the Wild added in entire action scene that dont take place in the novel.The action scene is when Francois and Perrault are crossing an iced lake,Francois falls into the cold water.Buck then jumps into the lake to save her and nearly drowns himself.Honestly,if the Francois from the book had fallen into the lake,Buck would have likely let him go.4.Theres much more action.Thank you！
