Film vs Book

I know that books are always better than films- I used to think that if I have watched any films then it is a waste of my time to read the same version in books- until the new moon :).



Then I read Eclipse, Harry Potter 1 and 2. These days, I am in a mission to read all films that I like- to read the books of the films that I have watched .


It does not matter if I watch the movie or read the book first. Reading it later will not waste my time as it will only reinforce or clarify the movie more. And I have to agree so far that books are always better


Shariz has warned me to read TTTW first but I cannot wait as I have both with me- dvd and book- (I know ramai dah baca buku ni I ketingalan bas:))- It will be some time before I can read the book as I have a few books which are waiting in line (and I am reading at a crawling pace:))

Shariz, maybe I ni jiwang and mudah tersentuh and you dear maybe lebih kental jiwanya because you said you are frustrated with the movie and the ending is not sad all- but from a fresh perspective of somebody who has not read the book, I like the movie and it touches me – it got me carried away (not crying though :) but a tingle of sad feeling harbors in me – even after watching it, I could still think of the movie – re playing some scenes and try to understand it – yeah – the past, future going back and forth is a bit confusing – I did not really get it then when Michael J Fox travels in back to the future (supposedly I think it should be Back to the past?:))


Coincidentally, currently I am reading Alexandra Potter’s Who’s That Girl where the heroin of the book got a shock of her life when she bumped into her 21-year-old-self, face to face.

And the book has it theoretically as , “instead of a universe, we are living in a multiverse- there are a few universe within the multiverse"- and I quote Alexandra’s book “all universe in a multiverse are called parallel universe”- where the future, present and past co exist in one parallel line – so at any point of time you can just go back and visit your old self:) . hmm that is scary  heheh


So when I watched TTTW- I just kind of get it that Eric Bana is living on a multiverse- still umur tak panjang tak guna juga boleh melompat lompat time ni –but his wife and children are lucky I guess- they can wait for a visit from the past :) and his daughter can always visit his father as she is a time traveller as well. Cuma yang buat sedih nya dia mati muda lagi- mati tragic pulak tu


But since Shariz said the book’s ending is more heartbreaking- I will have to get ready – to be mentally prepared heheh and I will also get a box of tissue ready :).


Hmm if I were to live in a multiverse – I want to go back and visit my adolescent years when I was in primary school and tell ''the me then" to be a smarter girl (I tak pandai masa sekolah rendah :(, fail English sokmo, not that good at Math and Science as well until I was in standard 6 - I met one teacher that inspired me hehe (will cover this story in other post- if I can remember la ye)), re visit myself in secondary school - SM Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Kuantan –anybody of you from here?:)), revisit me in college days- and tell myself that college life is not hard at all – there are harder things out there pass the college life :)– so don’t be so stressful – I would tell myself that, ‘you II be ok Erma, kacang ja semua ni' :) and of course I would revisit zaman bercinta cintun heheh – and so much more – and I could also go back to the past and visit my mum, my grandma and my sister. (hmm jangan merepek Erma :))


How about you dear semua ?- which self of yours would you go back to and pay yourself a visit :) ?

PS:
I take the above title back - it should be let's time travel :)
