Similarities : Hamlet & Haider
A film must not only play the role of the literal visual
representation of the book on which it is based but also it
must be a proper production that has been transformed from
the words on the paper to the dialogues on the celluloid.
The way both the mediums express their meanings is where
the similarity and the difference lies.
Words are not only way to express but while a book has
written words on it, a film has audio which is some how more
powerful and life-like. In a film, a single scene is like a
complete sentence or a series of sentences in a book .
The power of audio and visual experience has a long lasting
effect on the audience over the power of written words .
