At first glance, watching movies is more amusing than reading
fiction. Watching movies can be approached more easily through computer of
smartphone which people rarely let these things out of hand. However, in
reality, enjoying novels is more absorbing and enjoyable than watching films
for two indubitable reasons.
To begin with, reading novels make it possible
to imagine more freely. Films are produced through the director’s interpretation.
Also, actor or actress can play an important role in the film’s atmosphere. On the
other hand, reading books can be only accomplished by my own imaginative power,
without any people’s interruption.
For example, my personal experience can be
used to validate the claim above. When I was an elementary student, I read the
book, Harry potter. Then it was released by the movie. I watched it portrayed as
what I had never imagined. So I was very shocked and realized the gap between
my own imagine world and other people’s world. If I had seen the movie first, I
would have not imagined my own Harry potter.
Furthermore, reading fiction is more
understandable through detailed expressions. Films often have some restrictions
like time or budget. Film producers have to make their movies lasting for a few
hours in their fixed budget. Accordingly, producers need to summarize its
content and highlight what they want to show or what they can represent.
Therefore, movie producers can cut some detailed scenes, keeping audiences from
understanding the scenario.
Take my own experience, for instance. Among
the movies which I had seen, the night of seven years was the movie that I was
very disappointed by many missing important scenes. If I had not read the book,
I might have understood the movie.
To sum up, reading books allow people to
imagine more freely and understand in more detail. In conclusion, I am highly
convinced that reading fiction is more interesting than watching films for the
two crucial reasons mentioned above. |
