When Books Become Movies

In the modern world an increasing number of books are being turned into movies. Is this a good thing that incourages people to read that book, or does it discourage people to read it, letting them choose the easier option of looking at the movie?

I think a book gains a lot of fame being turned into a movie, but it also looses something. When you read a book, you immagine, or should immagine the story in your brain. When you look at the movie yo can compare and contrast your immagination with the thoughts of the film maker. It is interesting to comment the errors or successes of the fim. The opposit event, seeing a film before reading the book can be mostly harmful. It is difficult to read a book when you know already the story, and it is much easier and quicker to look at a movie then to read a book. It can also be positive, an example is our class. They have seen the movie of twilight, and now everybody is reading the series.

A book can gain many profits by being turned into a movie. A movie has much morebopportunities in becoming famous than a book mainly because of an instrument called television we watch almost every day. It is much more comon to see a publicity of a film than the publicity of a book, so being turned into a film the book gains a lot of publicity. A book is commonly turned into a film mainly because it is famous or well written. An unknown book can grab the attention of a movie-maker and after a film is made out of it suddently everybody starts to read it. This is not very common, so people would still read the book, maybe not so much, but it would still have a minor success. Another thing that can happen is that people get the rights for a book, and they let years pass. When the book is almost forgotten they make a film out of it, and they have great success until the book comes out. In some cases the book does not come out, and the author receives no glory at all.

I have read and seen the movies of a great number of books. One example is "The Lord of the Rings". In my personal opinion it is a great film of the book. The film ignored many parts, this is understandable because making the film of "The Lord of the Rings" the length of the book you would pass your life lin front of the television watching it. The makers of the movie also made the drammatic scenes more exciting, J.R.R Tolkiens was not very good in the battle scenes, making them short and with little description. This is a good example, but in some cases the movie is so different from the film that the author protests against the film sayng that they copied the ideas but not the story. This happended to Clive Cussler in the film of the book "Raise the Titanic". In this case the film was negative and it brought little success to the book.
