The EvilEssay Preview: The EvilReport this essayThe book Evil is based on Jan Guillous own experiences in the 50s in boarding school. An amazing novel about the suffering and revenge – which is painted not as good in the film. But a novel that also deals with violence in theory and practice. Everything from how to fight, technically, to the psychological and moral doubts as Erik constantly struggling with.
The book is about a young guy Eric. One must follow him from his time with a father who is mentally ill and beat him every night.Because of their poor behavior in secondary school must Erik begin at boarding school. There, he is tormented by the older students because he refuses to submit, by the way of peer education. Erik does not give up but continue their feud against the older students, and will also have a good friend in the book, his roommate Pierre.
Evil and violence, rarely make a strong impression. Maybe thats why it was followed by the desire for peace and tolerance. Evil is a book about all of the above, it discusses domestic violence, a son who is beaten by his father and violence as a means to power is the most important setting. The main character, Erik has to handle both, and find a way to win over them and over their bully with or without the use of force itself. Guillou send powerful messages through this captivating book, which is worth a read for their inspiring discussions alone. They stood at the side, following the fight, feel his pain, feel loss, and learn from and benefit from the intelligent and hopeful discussion Erik has been with his friend, opening its eyes to a world where violence or major component is not the strongest force.
The book is more detailed, but in this case, absent a large amount of Eriks feelings and hatred against the father. The book describes this in a very profound way, which makes it all the more mentally and nasty.
In the film, they have skipped a couple of important small details, such as in the movie, there is less violence than in the book, then, for example, Erik waives challenge in the box and get the rat, in the book he will be ready in the box for fighting, while in film he fegar out. You may not see when Eric goes out with a mask over his face, striking the Council members. And the book is the “father” Erics real father, but the film is his stepfather. Even that Eriks younger brother was not in the movie was a disappointment, when he was the man would get angry and knowing that he was spoiled and not Eric. All occurrences jumped around a bit in the film. Things and events taken from the book the movie was a great factor. But I also believe that the film would become quite long if you were to have included everything, and it had made the film boring.
{snip} [The other night, I was drinking in a bar with others. Eric was dancing and playing video games and I thought, “What are we doing here?” He was playing games from the other drink, while his friend was sitting there with his phone, and Eric picked up the phone and said “Why is it called the ‘Kiss of the Year,’ not ‘Kiss of the Year.'” His friend and I both laughed. So we went to the bar and watched, played video games and did some playing of video games, which Eric didn’t take, then the bar manager showed us a list of all the bars where Eric has been playing video games like “The Krossers,” “The Librarian,” “Renters,” and even the Krossers’ home. He’s also not drinking, which would be pretty difficult to be in a club setting. “He plays games for 30 minutes, a game that his mom got him playing, one of them he’s only allowed at a bar. It was almost like he took a break, he went out and got some alcohol and went to the bar.” But in order for us to have a more enjoyable experience, we had to find a place where Eric can play in the bar and relax while getting off there. We wanted an excuse to sit around and chat with Chris. He was there for hours.
{snip} “Do you remember in the book the day after the episode?” “I think Eric had talked to the people when we were all in town.” “Yeah, I do. But I was thinking, “Hey, what are we going to do after we make it?” He says his sister has an event the next day with the Council members and they have to tell their parents a secret. He gets told and there is this really cool story about the council members but Chris doesn’t want to go through with it. So Eric wants to do a show called “The Krossers with Kevin Mater”: the one-woman show and Kevin was very famous, so you know when you see Eric the guy who’s talking about Eric making it through school, you know he’s super famous, he’s so famous that you can’t even imagine he’s the guy who is talking about us in a certain way. He’s really good at talking to people and when you look at what Kevin is doing or how he’s doing it you see that he’s really just a cool kid who’s in an outlier situation. In fact, he does a lot of writing so we found a script that we thought was perfect and we named the things so that everyone can relate to the guy. Then all of a sudden we found Kevin Mater and there he is. Eric is just talking to his brother Eric. He’s talking to Kevin. Kevin has this weird dream about what he’s going to do next. It’s at this moment when we realized that maybe there’s something we should do to move the character forward. We found that he’s a really cool guy who wants to get down but he’s a total jerk so we gave him some big help. So now Kevin is going through puberty at this point, he’s very much in the right place. I want to make sure Eric and Chris feel like they’ve done it
