C2+movie-book+comparison+notes+2012

**C2** **What the movie left out:** American Flyer scene - it was an important part that the movie skipped. We missed the first impression. No explanation of "Fair Gwen of Air." Iggie is not a commanding character in the movie - we lost the sense of his fear about Kenny Kane. Killer Kane seems too friendly. Left out the boiler room. Why? Maybe too dark of a scene, maybe too violent for PG rating. Why is there money in the purse? To show Max and Kevin to be honorable and to match the scene of the theft/

**What the movie improved:** We liked Kevin's adventure going to save Max. Some of us found this to be cliche and not realistic. Blade's gang chasing FtM was more interesting in the movie. Adding the basketball scenes demonstrates Kevin and Max working together. Max and Kevin really look like heroes when they are fighting Blade over the purse. The movie added scenes of chivalry when... they are feeling desperate, heroic, brave, loyal victorious. Kevin tutors Max. Max stands up for the woman in the coffee shop. Movie did a good job of showing Loretta helping Max.
