Is it a good idea to read a book if I have already seen the movie?
As per my concern it is totally ok to read the book after watching the movie.it will help you to understand the character as well the story. books always have more narration that you can enjoy more than a movie. so, it's totally good to read book after watching a movie.I'm describing more reasons for that!1. COMPARISONBy far, one of the biggest reasons to #read books after watching the movies all boils down to comparison. While I am not huge on comparing books to movies (because books always seem to win!), you can compare the author's descriptions, you can see how well the movie did in really bringing the book to life and you can note all of the small, subtle #things that didn’t make it into the movie. Sometimes, it’s best! For example, there are some characters in the Harry Potter books that didn’t make it into the movies, but I still thought the movies were stellar.2. INTERESTWhen you see the movie before you read the book, you’ll be able to tell if you are interested in the book at all.3. VISUALIZATIONWhile a lot of book-lovers argue that you should be using your imagination when you are reading and I agree, I also think that seeing the characters in the movie is a great visualization too.4. YOU’LL UNDERSTAND THE STORY MORESometimes, books can be a #little bit confusing, especially in the descriptions, and it can be just really hard to visualize exactly what the author is talking about. That won’t happen when you are watching a movie – because you are watching it! So you’ll be able to understand the story more, see what the author was trying to get across and really ‘get’ the entire book more.5. YOU’LL NOTICE DIFFERENCESyou will notice differences in the movies versus the books6. TYPICALLY MORE DETAIL IN BOOKthe book might have more details, but that's okay and it's one of the reasons why you can read the book after seeing the movie! The movie will grab up your attention and will really make you want to #read the book to see what details were left out!7. RE-IMAGINING THE BOOKThe movie might have to change a little and differ from the book. In a 2 or 3 hour movie you can not put all the things what is in the book.
Is there a way to ask people if they like my movie, TV show, or book ideas without someone stealing them?
Just ask them.Ideas can't be protected, but there's also no shortage of them; it's the execution that counts. Besides, any idea that you can think of for a book has probably already been done; the question is whether you can do it better.
What book, TV show or movie did you love the idea behind but hated the actual thing?
The Help. It was a great cast. Some funny moments. That's where the problem begins. Was it a comedy? So Medgar Evers assassination seemed just thrown in to let the audience know that "this is serious." However, the major problem is that anything remotely similar would never have happened. Maids would have never told stories to a white girl. A great idea. But there would have been some violence or major threats. Though that is not the point. These maids might have marched in a civil rights demonstration and been arrested, however, they would never have risked their lives for some nice white girl to get a piece in the New Yorker. No amount of chocolate pie stories could have protected them from people who were the killers of Evers and others.If you put it in a movie no one would believe it. The Help is not believable. Those days were not comical, nor were the people.It is simply not plausible.
If you could turn any book into a movie, which one would you pick, assuming it has not been conscripted yet?
I’m trained as a painter and a teacher, but I like to dabble in writing a bit and I have my fair share of opinions about what makes a really special movie. Every year around early December I start fantasizing about adapting and directing the first several chapters of the Gospel of Matthew.It would be a gritty, realistic portrayal of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem (shot in the style of New Iranian Cinema), but it wouldn’t be a religious tribute to the idea that Jesus was born the son of God in order to bring salvation to humankind. Rather, there would be an overarching theme of plausible deniability about Matthew’s account. (Because of course Mary conceived the child out of wedlock. Of course Joseph was in on the idea to turn this offense into a potentially profitable plan.) (I am inspired by a Malian film called Genesis. If you like my idea, check out this movie.)The point of view throughout the film would stay primarily with a shepherd who witnesses the events unfold: the strange star (a comet), a pilgrimage of spectators and “wise men” (shamans played in the style of the cracked clairvoyant—we leave it to the audience to decide whether this is mental illness lauded as novelty or authentic wisdom shining through the behaviors of madness), the birth of a child into a typical Middle Eastern setting of 2,000 years ago, and the aftermath of the story the couple told everyone on their way there. Those few who believe them (including our shepherd), those many who do not.None of the actors would be white except those playing characters regarded as strangers, merchants, or outsiders. I’m not sure I’d attempt to do as Mel Gibson did and translate the script to Aramaic, but I’d be tempted to shy away from an English script.The film ends without coming to a definite conclusion about whether there is something holy or even transcendent about this child.I’m sure someone has made a movie about the birth of Christ, but I doubt anyone has made this movie.
Are the Twilight books better than the movie?
I understand where you are coming from being older and thinking that the books were made for teenagers and the younger crowd, but honestly I'm a 22 year old mother and wife, and I finally picked up twilight from barnes and noble last September and read it. The movie isn't anything compared to the books. The books are really really good. IF you have an imagination you'd love them, I personally couldn't stop reading them. I am now a HUGE twilight fan. The people the cast as the rolls for everyone didn't fit the book at all. i truly recommend reading the books. The second and third one aren't all that great and they do become repetitive in plot but I still couldn't put them down. they aren't made for just young girls, there are some things in them that only adults wound understand. I bought the movie and watch it a few times in theaters because I had spent all my time and money reading the book I was interested to know how they'd do on screen. I hope that New Moon ends up better. Please read the books and don't go based on the movie!!!
How do you like my idea for a blockbuster sci-fi movie ? In the 25th century, the world's economy faces failure doe to unpaid library fines?
Brenda, a cyborg librarian, is sent back to the present day, to persuade people to return their library books. And she can be very persuasive, know what I mean eh ? She is feeding ducks one day in the park, when one of the ducks speaks to her in 25th century cyborg language. It is Philip, who is also from the future, and has been sent back to rid the world of cats, because they get on people's nerves. They decide to work together, and seat by attacking a hot dog stall in the park.
Watching movies vs reading books?
BOOOOOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
I have a great idea for a movie, but don't have the patience to write the script, and even if I did, the chances of the movie getting made are slim to none. What should I do?
I hate to tell you this, but the chances are good your idea's not that hot. I hear "great ideas" all the time -- the minute folks find out I'm a best-selling novelist and produced screenwriter, they make me an offer I most certainly can refuse: for me to write their script (or book) for them and then we split the take 50-50! Who could say no to that? And what are these great ideas? Usually a minor incident that happened to the person pitching me the project, something that in one form or another happens to almost everybody. It's like the old joke: a producer comes to a writer and says he's got a great idea for a movie: Boy meets Girl.The writer says, "and then what happens?"The producer says, "How should I know -- you're the writer." Further -- and I mean this sincerely -- screenwriting is probably the single hardest form of writing. It takes story sense, craftsmanship, subtext, an ear for dialogue, a knowledge of human motivation, nobility and venality and, most important, mastery of film structure. Not to mention originality. In short, it's a tough racket, and if you think you don't have the patience for it, you'll never make it. So do yourself a favor.
Is there a book that he movie "The Purge" is based off?
Not directly, a fact which is easily verified by hitting wikipedia. it's just the stock idea of Catholic carnival, which has been used in more than one scifi story. I know I've seen it on both television, something twilight zonish, and read at least one sixties novel which used the idea. I also remember a novel where this outbreak of wildness was a product of either alien physiology or an alien environment, something like a plant which only flowered every several years, inducing LSD like hallucinations. I seem to remember that this planet's very architecture had been influenced adapted to play on some of the psychoses, providing mazes to lure in obsessives and such. So I suspect the screen writer stole it outright, knowing he could claim it as his own, if he just stole the main idea, much like with the Hunger Games.
