admonition ! pillager for Netflix’sOne Dayseries , the original al-Qur’an , and the 2011 movie of the same name .
Netflix’sOne Dayisn’t the first on - screen adaption of the 2009 novel of the same name , but make do to reiterate on the source fabric much better than the Anne Hathaway film . An emotional roller coaster , the originalOne Daybookwas a fast - seller when it first hit ledge , beg for a film adaption due to its popularity and a narrative tributary to replication on the big screen .

7Ambika Mod Is A Much Better Emma Than Anne Hathaway
Both in terms of acting ability and accent
Though Dexter can arguably be interpreted as more of a protagonist , Emma is undeniably the focal point around whichthe hurl ofOne Dayrevolves around . Thusly , casting the character is one of the most authoritative pick either adaptation made , with Emma ’s actress possibly make or break the two adaptations . In the end , Netflix ’s choice to frame relatively unknown actress Ambika Mod paid off big metre , outdoing Anne Hathaway ’s star office . It does n’t ache that Ambika Mod ’s Indian inheritance tot up a welcome splashing of diversity to the tale compared to the monochromic film .
Ambika Mod gives Emma an infective positiveness while still being mindful of the world around her , realistic without being misanthropic . Conversely , Anne Hathaway ’s movie plays Emma as a comparatively true romanticistic - comedy steer , ever so slightly edging the timbre of the film away from the grounded center of the original volume and into Hollywood make - believe . Beyond Mod ’s more down - to - Earth performance , her native British stress is far sluttish on the ears thanHathaway ’s unfathomable endeavor at an English speaking voice , relieve oneself the dialog of 2011’sOne Dayfrequently difficult to take in earnest .
6The Episodic Format Allows For More Development
Netflix’s format suits the book’s story far better
confessedly , the departure between an extended miniseries and a feature of speech pic is n’t the shift of 2011’sOne sidereal day , being inherently limit to how far it can turn over into the story with a special runtime . However , the effect of the additional evolution and the spare time pass with the characters the series ' formatting appropriate is undeniably felt when equate the two . With more time on screen , Dexter and Emma are given more meter to develop , the audience being capable to research and enjoy their stories at a more easy - going pace .
Not only are the fictitious character given more elbow room to rest , but the occasional format suits an adaptation of the novel ’s narrative framework far better . Just as the original book had each chapter take place on July 15th of a given year within a 20 - class span in Dex and Em ’s lives , the series is able to center almost every episode on a single year , even titling them as such . Meanwhile , the film had to make it fastidiously clear whenever the timeline jumped onwards , slightly bemire the experience with a sporadic 100 - minute runtime .
5Emma Acts More Reasonably Towards Dexter
Anne Hathaway’s Emma is far less cautious
One major difference in how the twoOne Dayversions of Emma are drop a line beyond their performance is their initial attitudes toward Dexter . While Hathaway ’s Emma is strikingly forward , AmbikaMod ’s character begin more reserved , rightfully weary of Dex ’s repute as a playboyand thrill - seeker . This paint the Greece trip shown in both version in very different light – Hathaway ’s Emma screech and giggle at Dexter ’s clothes being steal while they close - pickpocket , but Ambika Mod ’s adaptation try her best to keep Dexter at weapon system ’s length before Passion of Christ is finally capable to overcome her weariness to indulge him .
4Emma And Dexter Have Better Chemistry
The Netflix version functions more as a romance
From the source of the tale toOne Day ’s bittersweet end , the crux of the fib is Dexter and Emma ’s Romance language . Of of course , any good romanticist drama needs two leads who can genuinely express being in love , and the Netflix serial publication ' molding once again prevails over the 2011 motion-picture show in this attentiveness . Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess ' interpersonal chemistry is n’t risky , per se , but their pairing does call forth Hathaway ’s other romanticism movies likeValentine ’s DayandLove & Other Drugs . Meanwhile , Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod ’s on - screen human relationship is palpable enough to avoid any semblance of manufactured Hollywood cacoethes .
3Tilly Gets To Be More Of A Character
The movie version of Emma’s best friend doesn’t get to do much
Tilly is n’t all that of import of a part in either the original novel or the 2011 adaptation , mostly subsist as a background knowledge extra to fill out Dexter and Emma ’s wedding . The Netflix serial publication makes the impudent determination to expound on Emma and Tilly ’s relationship , developing her as an interesting character in her own right and firm friend to Emma . Not only does this oeuvre to fulfil out the show with more interesting actors than just Emma and Dexter , but it give Emma more of a life beyond her career and romantic encounters , helping to flesh own her own character as well .
2Emma’s Death Is More Dramatic
Netflix hits audiences with a more powerful gut punch
Emma ’s destruction is the scandalous wrench that keep the originalOne Daytalked about over a decade after its original release . Both the movie and serial publication faithfully adapt her demise via cycle accident into live - action , but the dramatic rainy setting of the tantrum in the Netflix version proves a far more compelling image than Anne Hathaway ’s gentle soaring into the route of a hie truck in wide daytime . The movie rendering of the devastating accident borders on the scepter of accidentally comedic , while missing out on the thematic connection of rainwater toOne Day ’s setting of St. Swithin ’s day .
1Dexter And Ian’s Final Conversation Is Handled Better
The two’s reconciliation in the series is better than the film’s frosty conversation
Still mourn the death of his love class afterwards , both versions ofOne Dayhave Dexter receive a devout consolation from an unexpected source , Emma ’s ex , Ian . In the Netflix series , Ian is one of many friend who intervene in Dexter ’s miserableness , come to his house to personally assure him . Meanwhile , the moving picture version ofOne Dayhas Ian offer some dustup in pass while visiting Dexter ’s cafe , make it unclouded that he still harbour some gall towards Dexter despite being a blithely marry human beings himself .
