Is it OK to watch the movie version of a literary work?
Watching the movie version of a literary work can be helpful in bringing the work to life. However, movies can be quite different from their source materials. They are often condensed for time and reworked to suit an audiovisual medium. Therefore, watching a movie can never be a substitution for reading a literary work, but doing so can help your overall understanding of a work you have read. In fact, noticing the changes made in a movie version can bring to light the significance of things you may have overlooked in the original. Also, watching a movie can be fun, motivational, and inspirational, and might make you more interested in the original literary work.
