Don't Judge The Book By Its Movie


Are you a read-now-watch-later person or a watch-now-read-later type?

Most of the movies, I believe, then and now were / are  based on different authors' masterpiece.

The big question is, IS IT NICE TO READ THE BOOK FIRST BEFORE WATCHING THE MOVIE OR VICE VERSA?

Some people would say, "The movie is good but the book is better." Others would say, "It's better to watch the movie than to read the book."

Today, I take a stand. My point is, a book must NOT be judged by its movie. Yes, movies help the readers visualize better their thoughts while they're reading a certain book. They (movies) help them (readers) put their mind pictures into motion ones. NEVERTHELESS, books explain, expose, and elaborate some scenes which leave hanging questions to the viewers . One best example for this is Tobias Eaton, also known as Four from Veronica Roth's Divergent Trilogy. It's shown in the movie that one of his fears is his father, Marcus Eaton. Who would have thought that a Dauntless trainer, known as one of the courageous persons from the said faction is afraid of his father? Well, book for the rescue!

For me, it's better to read the book first before anything else. So what if the books spoil you of what will happen to the movie. At least, you know the story behind. You get the chance to understand COMPLETELY the story. :-)

A Typical Title But an Incredible Story


PECULIAR LIFE EVERY DAY
If one day you'll be given a chance to be somebody, who would you be? Have you imagined yourself living in somebody else's life? 

A, a soul whose life doesn't stop from leaping from one body to another (day by day). A, a soul who happened to live in a body of a man named Justin. A, a soul who didn't expect to meet a girl named Rhiannon (who happened to be Justin's girl friend). A, a soul who enjoyed being in Justin's body because of Rhiannon. A, a soul who tried to convince Rhiannon that it was he who made her happy in their ocean date (Justin's body) and who danced with her (Nathan's body) at a friend's party. A, a soul who learned to love and do everything for the sake of love. A, a soul who in the end decided to let go, thinking it's the only and the right thing to do. 

What struck me most in this story is the part where A saved a girl's life from commiting suicide. This girl has a journal where she put everything about what she feels or plans (suicide is part of it, gosh!). With the help of Rhiannon, A was able to succeed in his plan by asking Rhiannon to talk to the girl's dad.

It's not easy to be somebody. You have to do what you can't do. You are forced to do what you don't want to do. If you were A, can you do the same way?
