Books vs Films Debate

[Antownee]

Alright I am going for books..I think they beat movies by far...More room for detail..IMO Post your opinions

[inter]

hmm, it could go both ways. The movies always chop out parts of the book. The only good thing about movies is you only have to spend around 2 hours rather then countless hours on end reading. Though some people prefer to read. I personally aint a big reader.

I will go with films. Although they do cut out sections, they give us a clear image of the environments and the people (or other things). Films are easier to understand because you can actually see everything that is happening.

yes, but if its a good book, which actually details most of the surrounding, you can imagine it.

[HRBEK]

Yes, but a book can never give the entire image, like a film does. No matter how hard the author tries.

That's when u use your imagunation. U see the film will be the directers vision of whats goin on.

[HRBEK]

Your imagination can betray you, you know. Even the best of imaginations will never get the scenery perfect.

Thanks,

Yes but only the author would know the true portrayal of the scenery. A film would be the director's portrayal. Mine and your could be different.

imo movies, its more enjoyable to me then books.

[HRBEK]

Films often have the correct environment setups. They may also consult the author. No matter what, films display the environments better. Graphically that is. I do agree though that often films cut out good sections of the stories.

[HRBEK]

[inter]

Yes but they balance out.

Thanks,

Movies - Simply because I'm a lazy sod and cannot be bothered to read... Used to read a lot, but now I only read comics and magazine game reviews...
