so lets start by saying books are good and you can understand the emotions that a character is feeling but, i think that when watching a movie there are a lot more ways that the director can connect us emotionally with a character. weather it's the use of camera angles, lighting or the weather in the scene, i believe than these aspects of film can allow us to connect more deeply with a character and really allow us to get a scene of the pain sorrow or happiness that a character is feeling. but on the other hand when reading with a book the author can only enhance the emotional connection by using different writing skills, and i feel like its better to see how sad or happy a character is rather then just reading "bob was walking in his room and heard a loud bang he went out side to check what it was, only to see his father laying on the front lawn lifeless". now that does give you a picture of what is happening but in a movie the director might use different camera angles and then maybe "bob" will have flash backs of past memories with his dad. There is a lot more i could say about this one aspect of my argument but i think you get the point now.
ok lets jump ships this time and instead of throwing shade at books lets talk about something that i believe is a thing that books can do better than movies. Whats this you might ask? well its the factor of the time limit of movies, see in a movie they have to fit a whole story into a 2 hour movie, SO some characters get left out of the movies.
ok so for this ill use the harry potter series as my example, because there a lot of charterers that are in the books but not in the movies or, they are in the movies but their backstory is left out. so some characters from the harry potter books that done things that changed the plot such as dobby the house elf or the gaunt family (Voldemort's parents and grandparents) went included and for me i read the books before i got in to the movies and watched the over and over. and in the last year i have realised that the movies have taken things done by other characters and just changed it so that one of the main characters do it. so i think that was a bit off topic but back to the point, i just think that movies should leave in the characters that are in the books because in gives you more characters to connect with and in my opinion i thing that is a fun thing.
so in conclusion i think that books and movies are both good in there own right. movies for being more visually and emotionally captivating, and books for being able to convey a wider understanding and filled in version in the story without any plot holes or random characters for plot convenience. so its all about personal opinion in this argument. but any that's me done going on for this topic. so basically i think that movies are better than books, thank you and bye
