Books> Movies
So true!
In short
No, never.
Books are an open canvas free to draw upon. Movies are pictures within hard wooden frames.
In the new advent of television,films,cinema and most importantly Netflix – the relevance of books is often questioned.
As a bookwork I’m often asked by peers – why bother reading the book? Wait for the movie to come out. That’s when I list out a multitude of reasons as to why books are the ultimate prime and movies can never replace them.
Here’s my perspective on reading vs watching a movie.
When you watch a movie – everything you see is restricted to how the director portrays the movie. The characters , the background and the feel of the story is already designed for you. All you have to do is watch your screen.
With books this is very different. Books voids and gaps that are left to your imagination. You are allowed to design the book as you would like it to be . Everything is left to your understanding and imagination.
Books allow you to have a more personal and unique conversation – with the characters and the book itself. The book in your hand evokes you to think – of multiple dimensions ,to create a whole new world and fill in the air of the book.
Movies can never replace the joy of reading.
Period.
