Are movies better than literature? Corrections welcome. Many people regard films as a less important form of art than literature and painting. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Right after the very beginning of the movie industry, there were a lot of concerns that people will stop reading books, be watching paintings, visiting theaters because of easiness of consumption. There is no need to imagine background, let brain think about book's environment or painter's mood while he has drawn the picture. Movie and cartoons like fast-food, there are quite understandable, provide less space for imagination and strictly limited in time. But I hardly disagree with this opinion because like any invention movies gave us much more than we lost like visuals which are hard to create. Each individual has its own level of knowledge of history, geography, science. Cinema acts as a teacher in this case by showing the way people dress in the past or describing some scientific event in a simple way. Also, every good movie has a stellar cast. Famous actors could play deep emotions and force people to feel the same. I often cry watching a movie, but never while reading a book. Movies aren't excluding the existence of books. Vice versa, many of them are based on some best-seller book. And now we live in such fast-paced world, that there is no time to read books, so watching movies may be the only way to stay up to date with current book's novelties. Finally, I believe that technical progress will invent even more attractive ways to engage people to the culture and entertainment, other dimensions like smells of vibrations may impress people even more and give people's thoughts good ground to grow.
