books vs movies

Thanks to Pro for a strong argument. Refutations on refutations:First, I have to say that Pro, although he talked about some of my arguments, he has as well failed to do so with the most. I take it as the Pro agreed with my points meaning most of his are now invalid. Now, to continue:1. Pro says that people aren't as disappointed in books as they are in movies. I disagree, here. There are as many bad books as there are bad movies. People usually look at the popular movies/books, or ones requested from friends, so disappointments are kept at minimum. Most of these disappointments come from movies that are adapted to books, which I, already stated are a minority. Of course, we can see things differently in books, but it doesn't mean they're superior to movies. Either way, one person cannot see a book in two ways, and it would be odd if it did. Therefore, I don't see a bad point in here. On another note, I say his talk about special effect has little to no value, since people can't visualise so strongly that it seems like a movie, unless they are hallucinating. Special effects can never be perceived as detailed as movies offer them.2. Pro says that movies are worse than books because they have less time to explain certain things, unlike books do. I say this doesn't make any superior trait, as movies are never meant to be complex. When one goes to see a movie, he anyway doesn't look for long explanations of scenes, so it doesn't matter. Furthermore, some movies actually do manage to pull this off, especially with good acting. Truly makes you understand every thought in the character's head.Defending my arguments:Pro explains that I am wrong and that books can be just as thrilling. He again talks about complexity which I already said isn't a valid argument, as no one watches films for deep story line, even if some movies manage to pull it off. I agree that sometimes movies focus too much on visual effects, but it's only occasional. Now, to further prove my argument is right, I will talk about action movies. Today, they make up a large percent of movies. And these movies are (unless severely dumb) all three of what I had mentioned. Books will never be able to portray action as movies do. They can't explain gunfire scenes in a way that movies do. Such thrilling scenes books will never explain in the wanted detail. Now, Pro talks about added scenes, which have no place in refuting my argument, and talks about movies based on books. I won't talk about these.I agree with Pro on his point that people that are busy still have time to read books, but this does not make them prefer them. I also agree with the portability of books and movies. As for the prolonged enjoyment, I say it's a matter of tastes. Someone might like to read a story for a long time, but someone else would prefer seeing the whole story in a much shorter time. Con's story about unemployment makes sense, however, youth unemployment rates are generally much higher than unemployment rates for all ages. [1] If Pro argues that most of the youth today studies full-time, and makes no sense to call them unemployed, then those who study part-time are usually not the hard-workers. We know that most of these people around the age of 20 generally more like the idea of movies, and often associate books with school, which they (usually) dislike. You'd more often hear "Hey, come over at my place, let's watch a movie or something!" than "Hey, come over at my place, let's read a book or something." A majority people, however, are employed these days, so this argument doesn't hold high value. "Let's go to the cinema!" is as well a more heard sentence than it's reading counterpart. The youth today finds far more enjoyment in movies than in books.___________________________________I have managed to defend my arguments and prove some of Pro's wrong. I still stand by my point that the movie is overall superior.Sources:[1] http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu...
