illustrate a story or interpret a story?
What I'm trying to say is that "a good picture is not just an image but also a story in form of a picture". I'm trying to rephrase it as "A good pic illustrates/interprets a story". Which word is more proper(or common?) in this sentence. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello!
In brief:
"To illustrate" refers to the story in a more visual sense, and "to interpret" refers to the meaning of the story told by another person.
I think you must say "illustrates" because you are talking about a film. But that's my opinion.
Make your choice! :) and keep doing these exercises, they're great!! Good bye!!

i think "interpret" is closer to the meaning you want to express
