One of the greatest movies ever. The movie and the book are separate art works. Just because something in the movie which was left ambiguous was explained explicitly in the book doesn't mean the movie is explicit. The ambiguities heighten the movie.




very true, and Kubrick did much the same with the Shining: the book and the movie are totally different stories and art pieces, with the movie being far superior in both cases imo

Indeed. The Shining movie is way better than the book.

movies tend to be more ambiguous than their novel counter-parts, which helps most film, cause film is a mostly visual experience and exercise.

novels tend to have more content and are less ambiguous, seeing as though novels are an inherently symbolic and communicative and syntactical, "grammatical" would suffice.

one medium, film, lends to a more easy-going experience, but with more bang for your buck, more goes into a film during the creative process, writing a screenplay, getting directors and actors and everything together, the actors act, the director directs, so many people are doing their part to create a movie. this tends to catch the eye (obviously) much easier than a novel, and tends to appear to contain more content, but most of the time, actually has content missing from the book. the extra content of a film usually entails the fact that it's a much bigger project, than a novel, with more things to be seen, heard, and thus felt -- though less content, usually, to be thought on.

in short: movies are easily an artform which contains less actual content, than it's novel counterparts of said movies, thus less intellectual content to be perused; and contains more different outlets for the creative process, than just writing, like with a novel.

novels are easily an artform which contains more content for perusal, intellectual, or otherwise, thus is a more lengthier experience, one with less "bang", and less of the different outlets for the creative process that what a film entails be used, to effect an audience.

both artforms are essentially entirely different from one another.

movies are a primarily visual medium, that is easier to digest, than novels.

the extra content in (mostly) novels lends to a greater overall effect to the story-telling process, and the intellectual process (than your usual film feature, though films can be assessed similarly), giving you more of a fuller picture, than that of the film, even though film has a predominate visual bent to it; that is because a film is often missing content that can be perused in it's novel counterpart.

hence there is a decision to make here when comparing and contrasting a film versus it's novel counterpart, or vise versa.

AV class is always in session.
