While having some differences the book, the ABC News interview, and the movie based on the book also have quite a few things in common. They all depict Morrie's unbelievable disposition towards his inevitable death. In each he is comfortable talking about his disease, his imminent, yet slow, demise, and the hardships he faced in living the life that brought him to where he was then. What caught my attention when watching the movie were some differences with it compared to the book. For starters Mitch and his wife Janine fight in the movie where as in the book there is hardly a mention of her except for in the beginning. Also, Mitch talked to his wife about seeing Morrie. This we didnt read in the book either. A few minor differences were Morrie only reached 12 on his breathing test and the beginning of the movie went a lot faster than the beginning of the book.
What makes the ABC interview and the movie helpful is it allows us to get a good visual of what Morrie looked like, how he acted towards people, and the body language he used.

I thought the same things except in the movie it's Mitch's girlfriend and not his wife, but she is rarely referenced to in the book. i believe they put those scenes in the movie to make it longer and more interesting, but for someone who has read the book its just not the same.
