Not really? It's about the same, but with more non-violent bits. beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 05/11/2013 03:26:46 PM

And all of them stated the violence was very much escalated in the books, is this not true?

So, in terms of "violent scenes," the book has the same key violent scenes (attacks from the bully, Bonzo, the weird stuff in the mind game, etc.) But the book also has a lot of introspection, characterization, context, friendship, and so forth BETWEEN those scenes.

That is, in the movie, the violent scenes seem to come pretty quickly, one after the other. In the book, they're more spaced out, so they don't seem as egregious.

I amuse myself.

Card purposefully wrote Ender to be blameless, he didn't have intent to commit violence yet he still Roland00 - 05/11/2013 04:18:27 AM 832 Views

My problem with the film was that the character's most hyped trait was irrelevant Cannoli - 05/11/2013 02:15:09 AM 880 Views
