Book vs Film

When I want to read then my mum tells me to read and then I don't want to read anymore but my mum never tells me " Go watch a film" so probably a film but when I want to read thats a lot of fun

ofc

Books

I always see a book adaptation as an "inspired in", never as an actual adaptation. As you pointed out, there are the particular views of the director and script writer who has the difficult task of transforming a media into another; book into movie or series etc. That way I just view the movie if it was entertaining as the book, not nitpicking every detail left out of the book.

But one thing that really annoys me is any interpretation of Hades as Hell in movies or series, which is just wrong. Hades is a place where all souls have to go no matter how bad or good that person was while alive. I always give disappointing sigh when I see fire, demons, and such when Hades is portrayed like that.

Few films live up to the promise of a good novel, but some do. Some are even better than the original story. Sometimes a director gets so caught up in his/her own vision of the story, it becomes something completely other than the story it was first adapted from. I have in mind Blade Runner (and the sequel, BR2049), and Philip Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep. I can't say which is better, but wouldn't say more than that DADES influenced BR.

We could just read the book on the theaters

Book (eg: IT.).
