Novels or Movies?



There's a little discussion, mostly between people who love reading, about what is better: the novels or the films.
Almost always books are done first and the movie plot is about the story that the book tells us, but even sometimes is backward.



Readers say, excepting some cases, books are always better than movies about them. In my opinion this could be because in a novel there is lots of information about the feelings of the characters, descriptions, etc. and if in the movie you want to show all this stuff it would give you hours. That’s the main cause of the division of novels into more than one film.
 In the other hand people think than if the film was done first, the book will be worse.

There are some examples of movies and books with the same plot: The Host, The Hunger Games, War Horse, etc.
 
Moreover, lazy people or people who doesn’t like reading books would prefer seeing the movie.
 
To sum up I’d like to say I like watching movies but I prefer reading novels because you can imagine the characters yourself and they could be as you like most, so it’ll improve your imagination too!

Do you agree with me or not?

  1. Hi Violeta, I agree with you. I also like watching movies a lot when I have nothing to do, but in my opinion the book is usually much better than the movie which is based on it. I don't know of any movies which are better than the book.

  2. I think that books are awesome, but the point of the films is that, for example, people who don't like reading have the chance to see different books' stories, so if they hear about any book, they'll know what's about.

  3. I disagree with you, I think that seeing a film is better than reading because in two hours you got all the information of a novel in a more intense rythm. To sum up, I want to say that I like reading unlike it seems in this comment.
