The Crucible was a very well written play and the movie basically was about the same plot almost word for word. I feel this movie was very close compared to the book. Throughout the whole movie it was just as the book said, but to me I feel the movie would have been very confusing if I didn’t read the book. The way they speak in the movie is just as they speak in the book, and I felt I was reading the whole book over again.
I enjoyed the book very much, and I also feel the movie was just as good. The characters they picked for the movie did a great job acting out certain parts in the book. For example when the girls were in the courtroom and they were copying everything Mary Warren said and they were saying that she was a bird, it was just as the book said. Sometimes the movie did get confusing, as did the book at times. At the end of it all I feel the movie was very well acted out, and I give it two thumbs up. The Crucible was a play written in four acts plus an appendix.
It was based on the events in the Salem Witchcraft trials. It took place in a Puritan society where the Devil was greatly feared. If even someone suggested that you had compacted with the Devil you would hang or burn unless you confessed to your “crime.” Many innocent lives were taken because of the accusations that seventeen Puritan girls made in the court. The girls claimed that they could pinpoint witches even when they were just pretending. They used their power to take revenge on their parents enemies as well as their own. As you can see the book and the movies were very close in comparison.
