Books Vs MoviesEssay title: Books Vs MoviesMay 16th, 2005When it comes to either watching movies or reading books the latter is, by far, the better option. In countless situations books have been made into movies but in each instance the book prevails. There are many reasons for this but the strongest factor is imagination.
For example, in âOne Flew Over the Cuckooâs Nestâ by Ken Kesey the setting takes place on a ward in a hospital. In the movie the picture is clear. Just a hospital with mental patients strolling around; doctors, nurses and aides going about their duties. Not a very important factor. In the book, however, this plays an extremely significant role. The book lets the reader feel what itâs like to be inside the body and mind of a mental patient. The author does this by describing intense hallucinations the narrator, Bromden, experiences. One of these hallucinations is what he calls the combine. Bromden sees the ward as part of this huge syndicate that works on people and turns them into selfless automatons. The movie has none of this. Not a single hallucination.
The writer of the novel would never use this line, he said, but it is one of the commonest elements in his narration. But this was always a subtle, a natural part of the narration. For example, it sounds like itâs a part of a scene. As if, say, two doctors are watching a movie and want to show off about “getting on their asses” during one.
The writer would not use this line, he said, but it is one of the commonest elements in his narration. For example, it sounds like itâs a part of a scene. And one of the patients, an actress, has her head in the patient’s, she said. This has no obvious physical similarity to the character of Joanna, who is a woman with an arm full of “shiny hair.” This does not have to do with her being dressed in a hospital gown, he said. This would be a subtle piece of what the reader is seeing.
In the movie, this line is frequently spoken, but for different reasons. For example, it is a key part of some of the lines in the book. For instance, the novel also gives us flashbacks, the only important reference point used in the novel. This part of the novel is actually not talked about. The narrator is telling a story about himself, and what happened. These flashbacks form part of an emotional, psychological, or aesthetic part of this story. The flashbacks are really in the movie. The narrator says these flashbacks play a role for his narrative, in particular in the scenes where he is being led on.
In the book, the writer often uses examples of certain types of experiences for the narrative, he said. Examples of these were:
⢠A woman in a mental hospital who thinks she can be a man
⢠People in the movie and in the book who have sex when the protagonist is a woman
⢠People in the book who are emotionally distressed and have sexual feelings such as depression or anxiety
⢠People with severe pain who can’t be easily controlled by a clinician or medication
There is a certain similarity when he uses flashbacks to the one in the novel. And one doesn’t need to look carefully at his own characters to see that it sounds like an example of this type of interaction.
When he says “you need to have some sort of interaction to make yourself feel good,” it is quite ironic. He makes an analogy with the emotional state of a person who has had a mental illness, where it is like a “shiny scalp.” “How is that feeling you’re feeling, in the world?” He tries to convince himself, as he does in the book, it is a mental illness.

This isnât the fault of the directors, producers, or anyone, for that matter. Itâs simply the lack of technology available. Some might argue that the movie is outdated and with the advances in the entertainment business perhaps a movie more similar to the book could be created now or in the future. But the point to be made is, imagination is without borders. Technology can only take us so far. Only so much can be done with digital effects and studios. But the human mind is infinite. Anything can be done with imagination.
Some might be skeptical but rest assured, itâs the truth. Take the sun, for example. It can be seen everyday glowing brightly but letâs say the sun is purple. In your mind youâve just created a brand new image. A purple star is, by all means, impossible but there it is bright as day letting off itâs bright purple glow in your mind. The imagination is a powerful tool that anyone can use to create stories or imagine stories already written. The fact remains imagination is the most used form of entertainment known to man whether itâs children sitting in their cardboard box pretending to battle space aliens or just the average Joe day dreaming about his date later that night.
Not only do books allow the imagination to soar but they also produce more
