Movie?? No. Play?? Yes.

Comparing movies and plays, I prefer plays better. Even though in the same story, the main story plot line is basically the same, but the way how movies and plays convey is extremly different. For example in Ceasar, the play discribe every characters' emotions and actions detailly. Readers are able to use their imaginations to create their own characters images, and every character can vary depend on different readers. But for the movie, every single character is shown, nothing could actually change because the movie has already fit the actors in. Readers can either agree with the actors but can also dislike them. This is why plays are sometimes better than movies because they leave readers some space to expand their imaginary.
