Write a 4 page essay on The Difference between the Book and the Film Girl with a Pearl Earing.

On the example of the book and the film comparison this paper will prove that some details of the book “Girl with a Pearl Earring” were lost in the movie but the specific details were successfully replaced by the right scenes of the movie. Several scenes will be specially analyzed to prove that. The main plot discrepancies Every movie-adapted plot usually undergoes many changes. Those people who did not read the original can’t notice the changes, however, those who read the book carefully often get disappointed. Let’s analyze what could disappoint the devoted readers of “Girl with a Perl Earring” after watching this at first sight accurate screen version. Analysis of discrepancies can help understand if these dissimilarities are essential and if they were important for the movie creators. The first discrepancy can be found at the beginning of the movie. In the book Vermeer with his spouse visited Griet’s place before deciding if to offer her a job. The girl was creating a pie-chart and the painter noticed her artistic gift that he did not find in other people, especially in his own wife. So, he decided to give Griet the job in his studio ("Girl with a Pearl Earring"). In the movie there is no such scene and Vermeer first met the girl when she had been working in his house for a while. The movie also misses many details about Griet’s family: the cause of injury of her father and difficult life of her brother. Her sister is also not mentioned. In the book it is Cornelia who saves Griet from van Ruijven, but in the movie it is Catharina who calls the girl and makes him stop. In the movie “Girl with the Pearl Earring” Catharina makes Griet leave the house, but in the original it was the decision of Griet to leave. In the book the author makes it clear that Griet got married and had children but in the movie it was not mentioned ("Girl with a Pearl Earring"). The end of the book is quite understandable for a reader, but the end of the movie is very vague and leaves many questions unanswered. The spectators who did not read the book can hardly predict the end, but they can guess that Griet remained with Peter. The most perfect adaptations The good movie successfully replaces some important words from the book by the right scene of the movie. There is a great phrase in the novel: “I never thought I would learn from a maid”, said Vermeer ("Girl with a Pearl Earring"). There is no such a phrase in the movie, but it is not needed: the perfect scene when the painter and Griet mix colors successfully replaced it. This scene is very important as it shows the feelings between them and how a painter treats the maid. The scene mentioned above is also perfect When Vermeer first met the girl after she had been working in his house for a while, he was watching her with so great interest that his thoughts are quite clear. In the movies feelings are perceptible and noticeable because they can be visible, thus some facts are sometimes missed. The details are usually unnecessary as the spectator can read everything on the faces of movie heroes. The actors’ work is very important here as only a good play and performance can create a corresponding impression. The selection of actors is also very essential, their appearance must correspond to the description given in the book.
