Last week, my brother and I got in a teensy argument about
the difference between books and movies.
He said that it was difficult to really become emotionally
engaged while reading because they can’t see the emotions being portrayed by
the characters. With movies and TV there’s
always background music to alert the watcher as to how they should be feeling
and reacting. It’s more than just
reading, it’s a whole experience.
For me, I feel like reading can get more emotional for
me. There’s the opportunity to really
get into the character’s head. I don’t
just know what they’re thinking by watching them, I know because their thoughts
are right there. Their reactions and
emotions are available for me to experience with them.
So out of curiosity, I want to see what you all think! Please vote below!
Maybe your brother simply isn't reading the right books!
ReplyDeleteThat's entirely possible! He also creates his own videos, so I think that's more how he sees things.
