What is the thrilling inclination between the screening of a movie and the imagery of a book?

I would say that I love both. It's hard for me to decide what's best with things like this sometimes, and I guess I just don't mind, as long as it's good.

The imagery of books has its own charm as it is purely in your head but the images of movies are more tangible and it's something that others can partake in. So it becomes much easier to discuss imagery from movies than the imagery of books, which takes a lot more to see and comprehend.

It is hard to decide between the two. I would say both. The imagery of film is beneficial if you are a visual person. The images in a book are good and appreciated if you have a very fertile imagination.
