Book Or Movies?

[TTJ_2004]

Both for me...but the read should come first. Watching the movie, it'a a cheap thrill to see what the character looks like. "aaaah...ganun pala itsura nya...teka, ang layo naman sa na-imagine ko"??

nothing beats reading a good book (let alone a movie). the devil is in the details and authors cannot convey it better other than a narrative/descriptive story. movies are actor focused, that's what you see and that's what you remember. books allows for your creativity and imagination, the possibilities/potentials/re-applications are endless - it becomes useful, longterm.

books pa rin...kaya mejo bugbog na ang mata ko..its also my passion...

 

 

most of the film are from the hardcopy.....rare naman ang mga films na ginagawang hardcopy lolz...

book then watch the movie... gives me a deeper appreciation of both especially the movie...how a scene would've been better played out, which ones are missing and why was it missing in that media, if the casting fits the characters, which is the better ending between the two... don't enjoy the other way around though, the movie tends to impose visual biases on my reading...

movies... pero pag may book na lumabas, read it and use the imagination based on the movie...

i do both i compare the the changes in the dialogues and plot

Read the book, then only if it's any good, i watch the movie. More often than not though, it's just the book i read, because i feel i have to make an effort pa when i watch a movie. I think i get more relaxation from reading than from watching a movie. Maybe it's because i'm nearsighted?

I'd read the book first then watch the movie version. Then I'll judge which vrsion was better.

Most of the time, the book is better. I hate it when they make changes in the movie versions. Look what they did with the movie versions of Jurassic Park & its sequels. They sucked. They also made some changes in the movie version of Rising Sun.

I think the only movie version that was better than the book was Jaws (yes, the shark)

Madalas, mas comfortable manood na lang ng movies, pero depende rin sa galing ng production. Minsan kasi, hindi naca-capture sa screenplay yung totoong stories na nasa libro. Kumbaga, minsan mas detalyado pa kung binasa mo na lang.

 

Personally, I would go for movies.

book, kasi hindi kaya i produce ng movie yung nakasulat sa book lagi may bawas

[ahleks_leklek]

40% books

60% movies...

I say read a book.

 

You're only limited by your own imagination when you read a book. When you watch a movie, you are limited by what you see.

book.d naman kc nila ipapalabas sa movie lahat eh

[ms_makuleet]

i prefer to read the book first. sometimes kasi when shown on big-screen, kulang na ng scenes..worse, ung mga magagandang eksena pa nawawala..
