Books or Movies
Have you ever been disappointed by reading a book and then watching its film? Have you ever watched a film and then read the book that it was based on?
Many movies remain very true to the book. Others only follow the core of the book’s story, while mostly taking poetic license with the plot and the characters.
There are many reasons that make these movies what they are. For example, the length of the movies is set to be between one and a half to two hours, while books come in different lengths, from short stories to long 600-page books spanning several generations. In the past, full length movies were about an hour and a half. They even had an intermission in the cinema to allow people to take a break and buy some refreshments. Nowadays, full length movies take up to two hours without intermission.
