Book Or Movies?

[lohengrimtams]

b0oks are more stimulating because you can still use your imagination to the full

[sphinx568]

For fiction, I go to movies. I cannot muster the interest in reading their counterparts in books. However, I read a lot of books on non-fiction such as trade books, inspirational, etc. Though I know that reading books is a much better way of stimulating one's intellect and imagination compared to watching movies.

I think books are more important because it doesn't take a lot of effort to watch movies.

both...

Why not both? It's great to watch a movie that you already read. I do that with the Harry Potter series. Of course there will always be differences between the two because there are so many factors. With books one could write to yours heart's content. But will it be a concept that's easily transfered onto film? That happend with the Dune series by Frank Herbert. All events in the movie(the one with Sting in it), happend in book 1 of that series. But in the movie, they put an ending which was totally out of line with the remaining books in the series (Paul Mua'dib caused it to rain). That never happend in the first Dune book. I guess they put that in to add another degree of awe to the Paul Atreides-Mua'dib character. They also modified the Atriedes fighting style called the Weirding Way into a weapon that uses sound waves to power it. It adds a more visually satisfying effect to the film that would otherwise be absent if they had only shown hand to hand combat. Of course I could fall back on the book to get a more satisfying experience. But the movie wasn't too bad.

movie

[rafi]

i always read the book first before watching the movie. that way i can diss the director, screenplay writer for whatever he did wrong

[jodi sta.ana]

i prefer reading the books. nawawala kasi yung essence nung story e, some vital parts are taken away, di tuloy kumpleto... ayun...

[iwalkalone]
