Did you know many of your favourite modern day movies came from really old books?
You may remember in 2013 12 Years a Slave was released, an incredible true story of one man's fight for survival and freedom. It won three Academy Awards and was from an original memoir and slave narrative by American Solomon Northup as told to and edited by David Wilson published in 1853.
Or how about the wildly popular fantasy movie “The Hobbit” and its successor the “Lord of the Rings” series that were originally penned by English author J.R.R. Tolkien in 1937 and 1954 respectively?
Hollywood has rediscovered these hidden gems and uncovered them for the masses, but your gateway to discovering your own hidden gems lies in discovering classic publications found on edu.Global where thousands of original works of the past are stored and awaiting you now!
Perhaps it has been sometime since you have devoured a great read so why should you try it?
Well as much as the blockbusters are fun to watch, reading original works have many advantages to consider…
Movies Get Lost in Translation
Only by reading an original work can a reader get their own “take” on a story. Movies are only a spin on their creator’s vision of the author’s material.
Limited Story Telling Time
Most movies are 1.5–3 hours these days and although a published work is edited, a writer works within an unlimited time frame. This condensing of books into movies leads to deleted parts from the book or abbreviation of developments, often comprising the complete story.
Script Writing vs. the Real Story
While a movie relies heavily on visual stimulation, it’s limited in terms of having to tell a story through dialogue. Imagine if you have a book that has lots of inner dialogue? Can a movie effectively relate that?
Books Allow the Reader to Imagine
Without the power of visuals, books allow readers to put together the story and elements with their own interpretation and this is so important. Think about the last time you saw a beloved book put to film and then saw a lead character that didn’t measure up to your expectations…..disappointment!
