Movies vs. Books

Harry Potter, Divergent, The Fault in Our Stars, The Hunger Games, Safe Heaven, these are some of the books that were so in demand that producers decided to make them into a movie. However, is the movie better generally or vice versa? Find out when we compare.

According to this infograph, the average book rating is relatively higher than movie rating except for the Social Network. But what makes the book better than movies?

You can make your own imagination with books

As you start reading the title of the book, your imagination is already going crazy. Every words that your eyes pass are filled with different meanings that will create images in your minds. In movies, not all will be satisfied with what the producers imagined it to be. For example, many women have different imaginations for the role of Christian Grey. Some used celebrities and others made up their own "Christian Grey". Therefore, we cannot say that Jamie Dornan satisfies the vision of women. We have unique kinds of creative minds and thus, one movie doesn't support it all. Imagination can be beneficial for a person to develop creativity in his or her own way. 

Not all scenes in the book will be shown in the movie

Unlike Harry Potter series which the movies are almost the same with the book, most of the films have a limited story line. Sometimes even, the most important events are cut out because the movie duration should not exceed 3 hours. Especially when there are a lot of inner dialogue where the person is talking to him/herself, it will not be simple to translate it visually in the movie. When a part of the book is missing, the story is not complete at all cause every scene is an important aspect.

Vampires Rule

What kind of human being has fangs, scary red eyes and sucks blood from the human veins? Actually, it's not a human being, but a vampire. Many years have passed and there were already a lot of famous vampires. One day, we might have a new vampires who live in the moon. Here are some of the well-known vampires and interesting facts about them.

Dracula. There were many versions of television shows and movies made after the first gothic horror novel of Dracula was published in 1897. The latest movie was the Dracula Untold which focuses not on the present Dracula but how Dracula originated. They believe it originated in 1400s and Dracula was a human being before he was turned into a vampire. 

Edward Cullen. His full name is Edward Anthony Masen. Unlike Dracula, many girls would scream and shout for Edward just to bite him. Edward Cullen is played by Robert Pattinson in the movie Twilight series which was based from a novel. This character does not focus on the horror of vampires but the romance between a monster and a human being who is willing to be one of them. In the end, the human being named Bella became one of them. He is a very special vampire with telepathic capabilities. 

Vasilisa Dragomir. In the movie Vampire Academy, after the car accident of her family, she is the last Dragomir and will be the heir of throne as the king. Because of the accident, she discovered a lot about herself and her best friend Rose who is also her body guard. She can control the four elements, earth, water, fire and air. She can also heal living things. She is the queen of the Moroi Royal Court and a student at St. Vladimir's Academy. Rose and Vasilisa shared a very unique bond.
