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

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!
