So..I watched all 5 of the Harry Potter movies and I really loved them. I can't wait for the 6th.
I wish I had the books so I could actually attempt to read them, and when I say attempt I mean it, because I am not a natural reader like some people I know. I have a problem retaining what I read, and as I am reading I find that I seem to have to make sure what I read -a proof reading sort of thing-
The sad part is that Lord of the Rings are my favorite movies ever, and I have NEVER read the books.
I always try to explain to people that I am a hugely auditory person, and with that I am also connected to the emotion that the actors in any movie convey. I get very emotional with movies that I can relate to my own life and I feel like a part of it. I am not ashamed to admit that I am a very caring, and emotional person, and movies just open something in me that I can't fully explain. Maybe it is the fact that I LOVE ART. For example the scene in Lord of the Rings where Samwise and Frodo are exhausted at the bottom of Mt. Doom, and Frodo just can't go any further Samwise picks him up and carries him. The music, the interaction, the art direction, the emotion in the words, the symbolism, everything, it all built up and was an amazing scene.
With books I don't see or hear anything except my own thoughts, and even with my artistic brain I can't seem to make it as exciting as it should be. Clearly my imagination with words is very limited, and I hate it.
Still, I want to attempt to read the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and hopefully it will open me up to more, but I just had to write this down while I had it on my mind.
Maybe some of you have ways of making reading easier?
