Book Or Movies?


Recommended Posts

Medyo may katamaran kasi ako magbasa ng mga fictional books.. I'd rather watch there movie version..

 

Minsan nagbabasa rin ako ng book.. pag maraming illustrations/ drawings :D

Pero when it comes to educational books such as computer books, home development, history, cooking, etc. -- OK ako dyan!

pwede siguro i-consider as literature. based naman kasi sa screenplay ang mga movies. it's just like reading a book but the difference is sa movies the "book" is interpreted for you whereas pag nagbabasa ka your imagination works for you. at isa pang difference e yung time. shempre limited sa time yung movies epro pag book ok lang kahit isang taon mo na binabasa ok lang. <_< hope i made sense...heheh

Literature is meant to be acted on & watched the same way poetry is designed to be read aloud & heard.

 

What is it with those teachers that limit their students to the written medium? Besides, if the students think they can get away without reading & try their luck, they deserve to fail for not taking literature in its entirety as well.

I didn't appreciate Shakespeare -- he was such a pain in the ass to read -- until I watched Romeo & Juliet, then Julius Caesar, then Macbeth ... on stage & celluloid ... in classic & modern adaptations. Then I went back to reading them & appreciated them even more.

 

Learned that from other literature... books to film, then film to books. Poetry read silently vs. that read aloud, with music & film at the background.

 

It's a pity if media, separate as the forms of literature & arts are, seperate them for all time.

Literature uses the reader's imagination to paint a visual interpretation of the ideas and events narrated in the book while movies presents the events to the viewer with sights and sounds with the objective of either entertaining or overwhelming their senses. For literary work adapted to movies, the movie can only capture some of the details in the literary work as there is a limit to the screening time. For example, the V for Vendetta movie was a good adaption of the graphic novel in that most of the look & feel as well as the events were presented just as i imagined it. however, a lot of plotlines were omitted making the graphic novel a more rewarding work than the movie.
