Is watching a movie the same thing as reading a book
Is watching a movie the same thing as reading a book
No. In the case of the former one watches a movie, whereas in the latter one reads a book.
They are qualitatively different experiences
Not necessarily. There are menu similarities. You didn't prove anything sir.
>There are menu similarities
??
You are comparing apples with bananas, it's that simple. The argument is that since they are different things in essence, their experience differ in principle.
It's like comparing the taste of, well, apples and bananas. Of course there are vague similarities, but no wise man would say those make them "equal" in any way.
You're just speaking nonsense. Movies and books tell stories in the same way
>Movies and books tell stories in the same way
I refuse to fall for the bait anymore than I have already done
is an audio book the same as reading a book?
I'm not baiting I just don't understand how u can't see the very similar parallels
>is x y?
It's not THAT they tell stories what makes them different. It's HOW they tell them that is important.
Aren't you reading when you watch a movie with subtitles? Or watch a silent movie? There's a lot of similiRties don't deny that
Hey Veeky Forums,
is Unorthodox Concept A true?
I am hereby officially gracing you with the burden of proof!
Best regards.
How do you mean? Reading books is objectively a better positive experience for your brain. It's been proven that your brain activity is higher and your brain is more engaged reading books than staring at a screen.
Don't get me wrong I love movies too.
You have to admit their similar though
>objectively better
True
Obviously not. Movies work within the senses.
>your brain activity is higher and your brain is more engaged reading books than staring at a screen, and therefore it is objectively better experience for your brain to read books than to watch movies
non-sequitur
No, Billy. We're glad you learned that using a keyboard is not the same as throwing a ball, but you should really practise throwing a ball some more since you got so good at this typing thing. It's okay if you throw your keyboard by accident again too. We'd be glad to see that trick.
Are you calling me stupid ?0
Of course not, Billy; you're just special.
Just stop bruh not cool. I was just curious

Holy fuck. Get off this board.
This thread is absolute shit.
What did I say that bothered you axactly

Yes. They are literally the exact same thing.

Visual media - text, still art, film - are ontologically similar, and differ phenomenologically only because that's what people have made each medium and the how they are "supposed" to be experienced out to be. For all intents and purposes you're probably not going to "read" films the same way you do a novel, but the line between what it means to read anything at all is a gray area; if you want to get technical there's arguably no philosophically substantial difference.
I had film professors who would pause films every shot and ask what every element - framing, mes, cinematography, editing, ie basic stuff - was doing and how it was contributing to the narrative, how it could tie into some theory or meaning of the film, and so on. The process could take up to 8 hours at a time. Sounds pretty engaged to me.

Literature its art.

Some films could be equated to a short story or novella. Other films are basically trash. A movie would have to be very long to be as mentally engaging as a good book.
How do you report same-fagging?
Does the janitor see only one report at a time, or if multiple are reported will they get the picture?
Do you think there is same flagging in this thread or something?
Obviously not dumb ass.

Explain your point. Nobody in this thread has really proved me wrong or convinced me otherwise

>Is watching... the same thing as reading ...
is licking the same thing as tasting?
You can read without using your eyes, dummy.
Invalid analogy.
Dude
what? you asked a question
You use your imagination when reading a book and you simply consume when watching a movie. OBEY. DON'T THINK.

Very good point
(By which I mean of course that yes, an audio book and reading a book is the same thing)
