The film of The Last Song wasn’t as interesting as the book. The main actor was Miley Cyrus who played the role of Ronnie. Even though there were many close-up’s of characters, it was hard to figure out what a person was thinking and what was going on inside their head. The setting of the novel I thought was perfect. The main places there were scenes were the beach, beach house, and carnivals in the small town. There were a few long shots, that showed the beach and small town from a far distance, and many people were seen in the location. There were some changes and things that weren’t in the movie but in the book that I was shocked by. I was shocked when the book revealed that the mom had an affair with another man which left the father to leave. The film let watchers believe that Steve left the family for no reason. The ending of the book and film were also different. My favorite part was when Ronnie and Will kissed for the first time. First, they were arguing, so the camera was had shot reverse shots really quick, then Will leaned over to kiss Ronnie and the camera was on iris. They were on the beach, and I was able to hear to ocean and waves in the background while they were arguing, and then they kissed, music came on. A scene that I thought was so touching was when Jonah found his dad will be dying, he stood by the shore, having watch touch his feet looking upset and angry, and Ronnie came from behind to comfort him. The camera was pointed on a low angle shot. I also liked the ending of the book because Ronnie ended up going to Julliard and Will surprised her about transferring to Colombia . The ending in the film was Ronnie packing up and Will just shows up at the beach. It didn’t let us know what would happen in the future. I personally thought the book was better than the film. Even though I liked the film, I thought there should have been another character playing Ronnie instead of Miley Cyrus. I didn’t think her acting was as great as she was on Hannah Montana.
