In most cases when a work like Arthur Miller’s turned into a movie, the outcome is usually misperceived from what the author intended. This is not the case for The Crucible , the central theme ans dialogue remains the same in both the movie and the drama. When a book over goes the transformation to a movie, the main idea is often lost. The Crucible carries the same plot throughout the video as in the drama. This is important because the true story of the drama is put forth in front of the audience as intended by the author. Everything that happens in the movie comes in the very same sequential order as in the drama. For example, we are informed in the movie, as in the drama, that Mary Warren tries to confess to “pretense.” It is in the very same order of the movie, as in the drama, that the young maidens in the town of Salem are accusing the innocent people in the village of witchcraft. The dialogue which occurs in the video and the drama are provided in the same exact order. The importance of this is that the viewer gets the actual meaning of the drama because the screen play, written by Miller, uses exact conversations and quotes exchanged between characters of the play, in the movie. For example, when John Proctor is frustrated with all the false accusations he exclaims “The children of Salem are jingling the keys to the kingdom.” Readers and viewers are able to understand the situation through the exact dialogue used in the movie and the drama by Arthur Miller. The advantage to having precise dialogue in the video, as in the drama, is the viewer is able receive the correct meaning of what is being said as intended by the author.
