The first major difference between Beowulf the article & Beowulf the film was in the article Beowulf returns to his homeland after killing Grendel's mother & Grendel. Beowulf ascends to the thrown of his home by being devout subject to king Hygelac till he & his son pass away. In contrast the film showed that Beowulf comes back to the Heorot & claims to have killed Grendel's mother. After celebrating & drinking in the hall King Hrothgar talked to Beowulf about the truth. After their talk King Hrothgar pronounces Beowulf King & commits suicide by falling off a cliff.
Another difference between the article & the film Beowulf was in the article Grendel attacks Grendel's mother. During the fight his sword breaks then he finds the sword & stabs her in the neck. In the film Beowulf lied about killing the monster & does the complete opposite & has intercourse with Grendel's mother.
.
The final difference between the article & the film Beowulf was in the article dragon that Beowulf killed was just a regular old dragon. In the film the dragon that Beowulf kills actually happened ho be his son that he conceived with Grendel's mother.
In conclusion I think I made three strong points on how the film & the article differs in major ways. I think the author wrote the article the way he did to catch the readers attention as if he or she was watching the film so he gave it more flavor so the reader wouldn't get bored.
