Do films ruin the books..?
And is the current state of literature being ruined by the film industry..?
I ask this because I'm wondering whether books are becoming less or more popular due to films being made based upon them..
For example, as you may know I have been getting into Harry Potter, not the books the films and the [unofficial] musical..
Now because I already know how it ends and I have seen all six of the films, I don't see the need to read the books..
Especially as I feel that I'll always have the book in my head..
I'd like to point out that this is the same as Twilight.. Watched the film and now I don't really wanna read the books anymore..
I think I'll nearly always say that it is better to read the book before watching the film.. Because you can create the characters in your head.. I believe it's more fulfilling..
So I ask you, which do you prefer, films or books, and why..?
Final Thought:
Feature films, for the lazy reader..?

I always read the book. (except for harry potter i just saw like two movies) Its very rare when I see a movie before I read the book. Ive noticed though that some books are made based off the movie..and the cover is a sence from the movie. (hard to explane)
ReplyDeleteI really do think books will always be better then the movies. I have more books then dvds on my shelf.
