Some people think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original .One of the reasons is that it takes less time to understand the whole story.And , the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.
Some people do not agree with their opinion.They think that they can get more information from the original.And, the language in the book is possibly more beautiful.
I agree with the second opinion. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think read the book in the original, I am able to better understand the writer’s ideas. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film .
