Like, I feel like, books, its just a bunch of description that never truely paint a scene.

In a movie or TV show, you see exactly what the scene is, exactly what is happening. I mean, of course, sometime they cut corners and cut of parts of a book, but otherwise, its more easily conveyed.

Like the popular saying, a picture is worth a thousands words. But I’d say: a video is worth a million pictures.

    You’re watching their interpretation of a story. Sometimes this can even be a good thing when they highlight something you may not have really noticed.

    Oh yea. This reminds me. I see this in a recent thing I watched, 3 Body Problem.

    There is 2 versions of it, there is a Netflix adaptation made in the west, there’s a Tencent version made in China.

    In the book, there was a scene depicting the Cultural Revolution of PRC, but the Tencent version cut it out, while the Netflix version did not hold back.

    So I get it, it can suck when things get cut out.

    But when sometimes its great to be able to see the story, instead of just imagining it. I guess you really have to do both to experience the full story, well… different interpretations of a story.
