Book vs Movie:
Book (1982 mostly)
- Jake had 2 parents and a maid in his life
- The maid cared about him, although still slightly distanced
- The parents didn't care about him at all
- Father--famous media person, obsessed with power and appearance, does coke
- Mother--affairs, appearance, absent
- Jake knows that his parents don't care about him. He still loves them and accepts them with their flaws. Still chooses to go to another world (filled with danger and demons and no airconditioning) knowing that he might never see his parents again.
Movie (2017)
- Jake's father was a firefighter and died saving people
- Jake's mother loves Jake, but is worried that he is mentally disturbed and is trying to balance being a good mother and getting him help
- Jake's step-father is openly hostile and it is revealed that he wants Jake committed both because he believes Jake is insane and he wants the mother all to himself
- Both Mother and Step-Father are killed
Why did they change this?
...changing subjects...
We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.
(And when I meet Thomas Jefferson, I'm'a compel him to include women in the sequel. Work!)(Never mind)
Two big words:
Truth
and
Men
What are their centers?
