Some people think   it is better to see the film than to read the book in original (原著). The reason     they hold the opinion is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting and     is easier to follow.
   , other people think differently. Their opinion is that they can get more detailed (详细的) information from the original book. At    same time, the language in the book is more lovely and beautiful.
In my opinion, I agree  the second opinion. I have more reasons for it. I think I can study at home, reading quietly    myself. Moreover, I can understand the author’s idea better.
In a word, to read the original work is better  to see the film based on it.
