Their Eyes Were Watching God (2005)
novel vs. movie

In the story, "Their Eyes Were Watching God," the movie is drastically worse then the novel. Having read the novel and watching the movie, I found that the movie was cutting edges on important information which the book gave you with great detail. The main character, Janie, is sought to be less emotional and more beautiful, while the movie somewhat portrays her as having an edgy personality and a woman who flirts with many guys even though she is married to the all black town mayor. Also, in the movie I saw that the blacks discriminated against fellow blacks if they tried to be white, which kind of exemplifies blacks as being hypocrites. I don't exceptionally like either the movie or book, but it was somewhat entertaining.
