Its very interesting debate ... Is reading books better of watching movies (based on these books )better ??? not in terms of time pass or hang out but in terms of understanding the movie/book/plot whatever .....
PPL who cheer for movies say that movies give u visualization, it gives faces to the characters and also gives u an interpretation of the book
PPL who swear by Books say that books give u imagination, it gives you the liberty to give faces to the characters and also lets you make your own interpretation of the book
Heres my take ... Watch movie first and then read the book ....
trust me have done for many books like forest gump, Harry potter etc etc
This has helped me extend the directors visualization and couple it with imagination to get a better picture (literarily and figuratively speaking ). I also realise how pathetic representaion of the book, these movies were ... but then may be i enjoyed the book lot more only due to the fact that i was able to give face to each name....
Anyway cases where i read the book first and then saw the movie (Da vinci code, Day of the jackal) , at all places somehow the movies did not live upto the expectation ....
ps: i know all the cases of option II were mysteries where by reading the book, i had killed all the suspense .. but still i stick to my opinion
ps2: all this started coz i want to finish Harry porter and order of phoenix in 3 days before i watch the movie :)
ps3: this one is just to show like Sony i have 3 PS (play stations)
bad joke
TDLY: Just another day in the office .... started to have open fights with new boss
