Why do some people prefer watching movies than reading novels even if they are both based on the same source material (book)?

But no one will have any problem in watching a dubbed version of GoT and all the titillating scenes in it are further incentive to brave through it effortlessly. No skill required.

The novels? I picked up Eclipse, and a few sentences showing the various ruminations of Bella were enough to make me hate her already. I didn't attempt to read.

Some translated books are just not good. Ponniyin Selvan is an example.

What was your embarrassing moment in front of your father-in-law as an Indian daughter-in-law?

Very hard to do the above very enjoyable couple/group/friends activity with books.

The books, however, were insufferable. They were filled with “holy shit” and other moronic mind voices of the protagonist Anna. They effectively drowned out the story and I quit midway of 50 shades darker

Twilight at least was somewhat decently written. The Grey series was not even good writing.

What is the best reply if your boyfriend asks you,"why do you love me?"

Netflix and chill is a thing:

Imagery, sequence, suspense, emotions. Some authors may not be able to bring the story out the way a movie director could.

PC: Google…my precious!

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

Her orgasmic thoughts were thankfully absent in the movie so the movie was way better. Still bad enough that I just watched the first and passed the rest.

Why are the democrats keep insisting that there are more than two genders?

Even if one has the skill, many people lack the ability to imagine and visualize the scenes portrayed in words, which dampens their novel experience. It's just a bunch of words to them.

But take one of his plays and make me a movie and I'd love to watch. I loved “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”as a movie more than the play all because of the writing style. I am used to reading proper prose in novels. Not the script of plays. So the movie worked better for me.

A story is just a sequence of events but storytelling involves a lot more. With words alone, it's already a handicap, but even there, not all authors are created the same.

Had strong anxiety, heart palpitations, headaches and fear randomly over twin flame presence, 20 mins later he didnt acknowledge me saw a photo of a girl on the back of his phone faced up. Assume it was a new gf. Was this a warning of seperation?

How many of you found the Twilight franchise and 50 shades of Grey trilogy at least somewhat entertaining as movies? I did!

There is also the issue of translation and language barrier.

Many people do not have a comprehensive vocabulary in any language required to sail through a literary work in it, leave alone the one which their material of interest is printed in. Not all of us will patiently read with a dictionary by our sides.

Is there an ideal number of sessions in individual psychotherapy? Is there any point in continuing after reaching it?

A movie may have taken some creative license and given us a more feel good ending that is more appealing to audiences than the original book storyline.

Granted that the examples I might be citing here are as such not great works, but bear with me.

Many people just survive school and college just preparing their study material and do not have enough aptitude in any language to be able to read and comprehensively understand long texts.

So a novel may be less enjoyable for them.

You'll not work to get something you can get by just paying for a Netflix subscription.

Outdated language but easily understandable presentation in cinema:

Should Pete Rose's record as the all-time hits leader be recognized and celebrated?

Let's be frank. What is in fiction for us unless we are forced to study it at school?

I didn't like the English translated version at all and I am not that good at literary Tamil to read the original.

Why do you think it is bad to allow people to self-identify as a different gender?

Because reading is WORK. Period.

The Grey series was steamy but I was still able to focus on the actual story in the movies.

This is often a mindset. It can be acquired and often comes naturally to those who have a reading habit as such, but there are a number of people who do try and are unable to carry this conversion out effectively - maybe something to do with the creative/imaginative centres of the brain.

Why do many men like women's breasts?

I gave up and enjoyed the movies, read the discussions on the original text and enjoyed it immensely.

In the end, if nothing else, a movie is just a touch and earphones away. A book requires concentration. The lazier option is always more appealing.

How do you deal with neighbors who are always telling you what to do?

Or the movie script may have taken the source material and derived its own form of storytelling, which may prove to be more interesting than the novel’s storytelling style.

Bella in the movies remained the eff shut up, so I could just use both my own imagination and enjoy the director’s vision.

Which type of physical cable has fastest transmission speed?

There is an actual condition - aphantasia- wherein you lack the ability to imagine/visualise.

Reading a novel, especially a fictional novel with immense imagery, and enjoying it on par with or more than you'd enjoy a movie requires you to:

Actually have some literary skill:

Have the ability to visualize:

Unless you have a reading habit as such, you cannot read fast and comprehensively enough to not just process the words and sentences, but also to feel the phrase, sentence, paragraph, page or chapter as a whole.

If you have to work too hard to get entertained, it may not appeal to you. And for some people, reading is too hard a work and watching a movie is simply easier.

Twilight was a fun watch - I suspended my brain and enjoyed the imaginary world.

Many if not most, are in this category.

Sometimes, maybe you aren't good at English so you find it hard to read an English book, say, Game of Thrones, in its original format. So you buy a translated version in your mother tongue, say Tamil or Hindi (hypothetically).

There are some books that just…suck!

Turns out, the translation is not the slang you speak in real life but is a formal proper language and you suck at that as well.

I don't have the patience to read Shakespeare and visualize the story because of the old lyrical English therein. Not much for poetic/dramatic words.

So what you see on screen is fun, visually entertaining, well put-together as opposed to a novel that may have been tiring, boring and not well placed.

Entertainment.

Sometimes the production team of the movie is just better than the author of the novel, correspondingly:
