Which is Better?  The Written or Movie Version of a Myth?

Written By: Zehra Nasirali

Date: 9th October, 1996

 

I find the movie version of a myth to be better.  There is much more detail in it and it explains the myth with pictures that many at times look real and extremely entertaining.  Some scenes even put you in suspense that adds to the excitement.  Watching it on tape is much more attractive than reading it from a book.  You watch and visualize the myth to be in reality and at some points you put yourself in that pos8ition.  Most of the time you understand it clearly and only at some moral times do you not understand it as it is being presented in a Shakespearean language.  In that case it would be better for you to read the myth.  However I still do like watching the movie version of a myth and I think that it is much better than the written version of a myth.  After all, a picture speaks a thousand words!
