The Princess Diaries-- a book series by Meg Cabot,
revolving around the life of Mia
Thermopolis.
The book series is in the form of journals, written by Mia
herself.
Who was the most intriguing was the
protagonist, Michael Muscovite.
I liked Michael in both the novel version and the movie
version. In both media, Michael was a artistic, adorable, humble
and gentle young man; he was Mia's Best friend Lilly's older
brother. He could play the guitar, he could sing, he could play the
piano. He has had a crush on Mia.
The Michael presented in the book series and the movies did
have a lot of differences, though.
In the book series, Michael is presented as:
'Michael Moscovitz was born on January 5,1986 to Ruth and Morty
Moscovitz. He is of Jewish descent and it is known that his family
practices Jewish traditi
ons, although it is not known how stringently he adheres to the
faith as he is opposed to organized religion. He has a dog named
Pavlov and a sister named Lilly.
He attended Albert Einstein High School for Boys (made
coeducational circa 1975). Being opposed to most organized groups,
he only joined the Computer Club, of which he was Treasurer his
senior year. In his free time, he plays the guitar. He lead a band
called Skinner Box which disbanded upon the matriculation and
separation of many of its members. He had a webzine called
Crackhead which became defunct when Michael began wholeheartedly
supporting Linux operating systems. The name of his online persona
starts as CracKing, then changes to LinuxRulz, then finally to
SkinnerBx. In his senior year of high school, Michael begins to
date Mia Thermopolis. This relationship influences his ambitions
and future plans.
After graduating high school, Michael attends Columbia University.
There, he excels at his study of robotics and is invited to spend a
year working on a robotic arm for closed heart surgery in Tsukuba,
Japan. Michael chooses to take on this endeavor to curry favor with
Mia's family and to prove that he is worthy of a princess, although
it means breaking up with the emotionally volatile Mia for the time
he is away. Upon completion of the robotic arm, dubbed the
CardioArm, Michael founds a firm called Pavlov Surgical. He returns
to New York City and is awarded an honorary degree from
Columbia.
Michael reunites with Mia for coffee and swears his
love for her, although she has a new boyfriend. Later, he attends
her 18th birthday party and must leave when he is overcome with
anger when said boyfriend mock proposes to Mia. He donates a
CardioArm to Genovia and tells Mia that his motives are purely
selfish, as he wanted to help her father in the election to make
her happy because he is still in love with her. At Mia's senior
prom, she breaks up with her boyfriend and Mia and Michael resume
their relationship.'

In the movie, however, the plot was much simpler. He was
simply represented as Mia's love once in high school in San
Francisco. My notion can be proved through the movie 'The Princess
Diaries- Royal Engagement', in which Michael didn't even make his
appearance. Even worse, Mia fell in love with another boy in
Genovia. But in the book however, this was never mentioned. The
whole irritated me. I had always been expecting a 'Michael
Mia' pairing. In the second movie though I didn't expect such a
plot change. Frustrating? Yeah.
The Princess Diaries 1 was out in 2001, Michael was played by
a singer Robert Coppola Schwartzman. He was A
gorgeous and nice man, without dispute.
Here are some pictures I downloaded and processed, and I am
generous to share them with you guys, enjoy! XD
