(He dies by poisoned wine, but the wine is given to him by his brother, not a servant girl.) The death of Tertius is different from that in the novel.The role of Captain Shakespeare ( Robert DeNiro) is greatly expanded and changed from the novel.The talking tree does not appear in the film.Tristan does not have a furry pointy ear.Tristan Thorn's adoptive mother and half-sister are not in the film.In the novel he is already dead before the three surviving brothers - Primus, Tertias, Septimus - appear at their father's death bed. Secundus is alive for a portion of the film.I just hadn't gotten back to this as my attention went elsewhere. I believe it is necessary for film adaptations to note where differences were made as these represent the view of the director/writer as opposed to the original author/creator. It wasn't necessarily encyclopaedic in nature, but here is the list I typed up when I was originally expanding the article.

Anxious to hear more thoughts here. But in certain situations, a list is more helpful to the researcher. Traditional encyclopedias do chain themselves to prose for explanations, and that's usually a good idea. I cannot speak for the previous list on this page, but such lists are not necessarily 'original research,' since they needn't derive independent conclusions, but merely restate items directly from each work. Lists of discrepancies are much more factual and less expository (or argumentative) than the suggestions you cite, and thus provide better reference material. I found Differences_between_book_and_film_versions_of_Charlie_and_the_Chocolate_Factory very helpful. But for the sake of fairly considering all alternatives approach, I'd like to offer my view. contrib) - 19:51, 31 July 2007 (UTC) I think you make some good points.I would suggest taking a look at Road to Perdition#Writing and The Dark Is Rising (film)#Writing for how this has been implemented. It is best to identify only the changes that have real-world context, since the information is encyclopedic. In the adaptation from one medium to another, there will obviously be differences in the process.

It would be more encyclopedic to have a Writing subsection under the Production section in which all the major changes are pointed out by independent, secondary sources, and explained if possible. May I suggest the removal of the section 'Differences from the print version'? The content constitutes original research in providing your own analysis of two separate sources.
