Most of the people who wrote about this subject finally got to the conclusion that is good to watch a movie inspired from great authors, as well is good to read a certain book. The arguments in this perspective are numerous depending from what point of view you look at the subject. Some think that it is positive getting to see an actor bring a character to life whereas there are voices that are in favor of books because here the possibilities are limitless, hindered only by your own imagination. In movies you are limited to the creativity of the writers, actors and directors, while in books your mind is free to wander and focus on every little detail the author portrays.…
Entertainment methods have varied over time. Each day a new method is added to the list. People used to tell short stories to each other for amusement. Now they demand much more complicated ways to fill their spare time. Some occupy their free time with outdoors activities like hiking, horseback riding or even rock climbing. Others prefer more the easy relaxing style of living that does not involve much movement yet can still be entertaining. Two of the very famous forms of entertainment nowadays are Novels and Movies.

Popularity and their ability to deliver massages are two of their similarities while they differ in their ability to improve individuals thinking talents.…
For my folio task I have chosen to study a movie, I believe that this will be easier for me to understand what is happening in the film and I think I will be able to understand the personalities of the characters whilst watching a film rather than reading a novel. I find that they are easier to analyze.…
Movies or motion pictures have been around ever since man first discovered and invented cameras, and, in fact, even before that, through animate cartoons. It is a form of entertainment that is extremely popular in the world at large, thanks to dedicated filmmakers, modern advanced CGI (Computer-Generated Image) and increase in well-trained actors. However, in my opinion, watching movies is a huge waste of time for several important reasons.…
Memory - After watching a great movie, it sticks to you. So when reading a book that the same events somewhat relates to the characters actions in the movie, one will automatically apply what they saw in the movie to the characters action which opens up another view or interpretation of what’s going on.…
Watching a movie is an enjoyable way to gain direct perception of a story. Viewing films is more entertaining as a visual and auditory feast. For the entire story, people have less space to imagine but to be given the whole picture all at once. Those characters are performed by real actors making the story vivid and easy to understand. As for the timing, a movie is usually lasting less than three hours. Once a film begins, it is hard to stop in the middle of it.…
And what are the main differences between books and adaptations? Films have limited time, whereas books can be lengthy, so books can develop more of a plot and characterization. A classic complaint about movie versions concerns the omission of material that the reader finds important. If the director must make a film that is the proper length for a theatrical release, there is no way to include everything, especially when it comes from a long novel. Some people consider this an advantage of adaptations; others, on the contrary, find it a great disadvantage. Here are two opinions of people discussing Peter Jackson’s Fellowship of the Ring in the comments on “WiseGEEK” website. Anon272367 writes: “Imagine, for example, a “Fellowship of the Ring” [sic] movie that covered every single damn detail in the book. Trust me when I say this: I wouldn 't watch it” (Better). His opponent, anon260109, writes: “Jackson 's ear was deaf to Tolkien 's elaborately crafted back story of ancient mysteries and he threw away their music, not realising that the books are unlike any other fantasy novel in that they were written by a man who constructed them on an intimate knowledge of the Old English language, mythology and storytelling” (Better).…
In most cases, people would rather watch a movie than read a book: It doesn’t take as much time and you get to the point a lot quicker. In the case of the Harry Potter books and the Harry Potter movies, the books definitely win the award for being better. Reading a book gives you so much more detail on the story or subject, and you can let your mind and imagination wander. The Harry Potter books have no problem keeping me entertained for hours at a time along with millions of others. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying the movies aren’t good, they’re amazing also. The books are just better.…
For me I read both fiction and non- fiction depending upon my mood and available time. But the fiction has always tempted me more. Reading fiction makes me see certain things in a different way. It would prompt me to come up with new ideas. It also helps me set higher…
Most of all, I believe that movies express its’ story more lively than reading fiction. In particular, sounds in movie bring more vivid expression to spectators. Emotion expressed in voices of actors and actresses will help people to understand the mood of the scenes easily. Moreover, the sound effects will provide clearer image of story line. Particularly, songs and artificial sound effects in difference scenes create certain atmosphere while watching the movie which will definitely help spectators to get the story line much faster. Furthermore, actions and motion in movie gives stronger image than words. In particular, action scenes can bring image that is easier for spectators to understand what is happening. Each scene has its meaning and as actors and actresses act out scenes, people will figure out what is going on in the story easily. Moreover, motions made by actors and actresses will help spectators to concentrate. For example, in wide screen, every motion actors make make spectators to be more careful not to miss anything that is happening. In this sense, I believe watching movie is better way to enjoy the storyline than reading fiction.…
Finally, reading books is much more convenient than watching movies. You can enter the amazing imaginary worlds created by books when you are on a bus or a train, when you are waiting in line and when you are in a classroom and get tired of doing exercises. On the contrary, watching movies requires relatively strict conditions. The best…
Reading a book is one of the best forms of entertainment a person can have. Books can take you places to a time and lifestyle that you will never visit or experience. I remember the old show called “Reading Rainbow” and it lyrics were gave a very interesting take on books they went like this: “I can twice as high take a look, it’s in a book A Reading Rainbow, I can go anywhere, Friends to know and ways to grow, Reading Rainbow, I can be anything take a look it’s in a book.” Those lyrics are so true. Reading a book you can read about how life was in the 1700’s up until our generation today. I could be a detective who solves a famous mystery or I could be the killer trying to get away. I can learn to speak another language. There are so many things and topics in reading a book that can change your appearance, your political viewpoints, and change your attitude. Some say that books might become obsolete because movies are made from these books and you can watch the movies in two hours. Watching the movies a person feels that you can get the plot and conclusion of the book in two hours. This is true but for example if it is true life story the movie are going to change some parts of the books to make it more enjoyable, whereas the book is going to give you every detail the author wants you to have. Books gives people a conversation piece just like a movie but the only difference is books can join the world. Movies can’t be seen in some countries but a book can be read. So like the Reading Rainbow says “take a look it’s in a book”. So in conclusion reading a book is the best form of entertainment.…
