The movie and the play is based on the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692. A girl Abigail accuses many people of being witches, but it all leads back to her affair with John Proctor. There are many differences from the play in the movie. Some of these differences are the scene in the woods at the beginning of the play, the extra scene with Abigail and Proctor, the movies favoring of Proctor, and the better explanation of Abigail. At the beginning of the movie you see the scene where all the girls are in the woods and are chanting and dancing. There are three extra scenes with Abigail and Proctor in the movie. There is a part by the barn where they kiss. Also, there is the extra scene in the woods where he tells her that he is going to the court the next day. Lastly, there is the scene where she comes to see him in the jail before she leaves.

I give this film three and a half stars out of five. Many of the acting is very effective. The use of music is very effective. The music was very well placed and made you feel for the characters in the movie, the music always set the right tone. The effect of jumping from scene to scene was very helpful. It made the story flow better and explained a lot of things left out in the play. Overall, the movie was much better in terms of portraying the characters as real people with emotion. The movies extras like the fact it can jump from scene to scene more so then the play and the use of music helped to create more of a feeling in the movie. The movie made you really feel for the characters and get into what they were feeling. The extra scenes were also very helpful in terms of helping me understand some parts that were blurry in the play. Some of the acting was disappointing, but overall the I think the movie was much better then the book. It cleared out questions and brought out much more emotion then in the play.

The music in the movie was crucial. It set the tone very well as to what you should be feeling in the movie. I felt that the music was very effective as in bringing out your emotion. It made you really feel for the characters. Te progression of scenes is much di
