Question

What are some of the things that the outsiders movie left out but was in the book?

Answer 1

Answer

There are small moments in the book that are left out of the film, like Ponyboy breaking a glass bottle to threaten a Soc but picking up the glass after so no one gets a flat tire, that is left out of the movie and makes Ponyboy's character a little more difficult to understand.

Answer 2

The book is a coming-of-age novel, but the movie focuses on the characters' loss of innocence. The movie follows the story line very closely.
