Books vs Movies

As per the title, this post is dedicated to books and movies .
To the  two most widest, deepest and richest sources of knowledge as well as entertainment.
Books are written format while movies are visuals.
Oh, I think I had begin the comparison. Let's do this contrast at different levels.
     ~~~~~~LEVEL 1 ~~~~~~
science or scientific benefits
They both have a common and very effective benefit on our body i.e.
 Stress reduction  - both movies and books makes you feel happy ,you laugh and feel  more alive so stress goes far away.
But if we talk about brain then books will win the battle.
Oxford scientists proved that reading a book trains the cognitive abilities of the brain. It also activates the area that aren't used at other times. While reading, blood enters into the part of brain which are responsible for concentration and cognition. It's noteworthy that this effect doesn't occur while watching movies.
Hence, Books are the food of brain.

~~~~~~LEVEL 2~~~~~~

  Knowledge / Entertainment
 We got books to study  from our childhood of different genres varying from history to biology. We read books for our development and to increase our knowledge about Cosmo . If we want to learn about history of Vietnam we pick a book which has all historical incidents of Vietnam. Similarly, we pick books on our moods too. When we want to read story we pick a fictional book and when we want to read a real life story of a person then we choose from autobiographies. Just as truly said Good books are best of friends, same today and forever. 
Let's put the movies into limelight now. Movies are the best medium to spread awareness. People who are illiterate can enjoy movies and still learn from it . Everyone enjoys a good, happy and inspiring movie. It is the best medium to get entertainment in super fast time ( just in 2-3 hours) as compared to books which can take many days to complete , you can spend time with your family unlike books which need solitude. A good movie can change your mood instantly. Just like books, movies has also different genres like comedy, horror, romantic, action etc.  
Thus,in terms of knowledge they both have their own roles.




~~~~~~LEVEL 3~~~~~~
Imagination 
Everyone knows that when it comes to imagining a scene then book has an advantage over movies. You can't predict scenes in a movie because you are watching it, however when you read a book which has provided every minor details of that particular scene then you can't think of anyother thing at that point of time. You lived in that moment. You begin to play the role of protagonist .  You are the HERO of the story , no matter what's happening in your actual life.
Let's just read this page taken from a book -


So, what's going on in your mind? Thinking about a story of a girl who felt soo bad and hurt and she begins to do something crazy which you have no idea but still you tried to imagine the scenario.

Now, it is Showtime. Check out the video down below and just saw what they had shown you in the movie. It's a clip of that same scene you just had read but noone is telling their feelings here. You have to figure out on your own who is feeling in what manner . And moreover, this time you can't imagine any scene because it's already served to you.



So, I know this was not that scene which you are expecting after reading that page but it's ok . It's a movie scene. 
I am pretty sure that you might understand now that what  is the fun in reading and imagining the scenes and what it feels to just sit back and enjoy the quality stories on your screen. 

I hope you enjoy this comparison and might have understand some cool things about reading books and watching movies 
So keep reading and watching and enjoying :)
