There are many differences and similarities in the movie and book. A difference from the movie and book is the gods, the gods were talked about alot in the book but not so much in the movie, one example is when Achilles anger almost killed agamemnon but Athena told him what would happen if he did so. One similatritie is Achilles anger, Achilles anger was mentioned in the book and movie many many times, for example when Hector killed his cousin Patroclus he got angry and went to fight Hector and killed him, after he killed him he dragged him behind his charriot because he had no respect for him. Another similaritie from the movie and book is how they explained how intimidating Achilles was, and powerful, also what his armor was made out of. for example it said that his armor was made out of bronze and how his horses would wear shiny metal so that people knew when Achilles was comeing. I usually like movies much more than books because I find Images much more interesting than words, but in this case I thought they were both very good. One thing I really liked about the movie is the imagery, such as the wall, and many other things. One thing I really liked about the book is how it explained to you more about the gods.
