Books are lengthy but movies are short, is it really the vital difference??
Some say movies are more interesting than books, because you spend just under two hours to get the whole idea and move on to the next story (another movie), but with books you need to make a plan and spend hours sitting to finally understand the whole story.
Let's count the pros and cons of each one:
1- Books take time but movies don't.
2- Movies are visual and more interesting but books are not visual and gets boring sometimes.
3- Books dig deep and teach life lessons, well, movies run on surface and its ideas are not well received for long term.
4-Books are more inspirational than movies, because you spend too much time with it.
Considering the number of movies and books that you have watched or studied in your life, I am sure every one remembers books better than a lot of movies ( I mean the content not just the name). So, when was the last time you saw a great movie? I guess a very long time ago. Now, another question, when was the last time you read a great book? Hmmmm.. You would probably answer I have learned something great from every book that I have read. The main point is that you only have to say good or bad for a movie and that's it! But you can never say the same for books, because every book will always have at least one positive part.
I will never tell you books are better than movies, in my opinion during the modern times we have changed in every aspect and now we watch more than reading. We need to equally share PAPER with TV SCREEN (books and movies).
I have recently read Frey's How to write a damn good Novel and watched Eli Roth's Aftershock.
Honestly, I have enjoyed the experience with both of them.
Note: Please inform me if you have seen a nice movie recently, and of course a great book.
