"Okay so according to me while reading a book there is a specific image or perception of the characters and the world in my mind or my imagination which is catered according to my likes and dislikes and there's also the thing that it gives us creative freedom There is no limit to our imagination while we are reading we can perceive or imagine the character or the world however we want it however we like it While watching all these cinematic adaptations of a book might not be something that we really like that's because we have already cultivated something that's based on the likes and dislikes and sometimes the cinematic adaptations change just don't capture the idea that the book is giving Although sometimes cinematic adaptations can be really nice but most of the times what I think is that they fail to capture what the book is actually trying to say and it also limits the creative freedom or the limits of our imagination because while reading we go on imagining as we move with the book that is not possible with a cinematic adaptation yeah."
