Some people enjoy watching movies, others prefer to read books and claim that nothing is better than a book, even the best-made film.
It is quite a fact that while turning a novel to a movie, many little details are left unattended. May it be the inability to compress a full novel into a two-hour long movie but still the fact remains the same. Next, while reading a novel the reader creates his own characters and the setup as best he/she can sewing the details bit by bit. On the contrary, while watching movie we just perceive what is shown to us and little is left to imagination and thus one connects to the novel better than its movie.
My favourite book is Quiet Don. It is an epic novel by Russian writer Mikhail Alexandrovich Sholokhov. The novel deals with the life of the Cossacks living in the Don River valley during the early 20th century. The plot revolves around the Melekhov family. The book deals not only with the struggles and suffering of the Cossacks during the first world war, but also with romance and beautiful landscapes, which is vividly brought to life.
The film based on the novel turned out to be very realistic, with big respect for details. The director did a superb job, there are no details missed in this movie. In my opinion, it is one of the best films made on the basis of the book.
Hence while comparing novels and movies, the former comes out to be better.

*Careful to stay with the same subject throughout this paragraph. You changed from "we" to "one". Stay with "we", "us", "our" and cognates. ("one" is a bit dry; "one", "one's", "ones", "oneself" being its only cognates. Normally the only ones who use "one" are full professors or the Queen of England).

Enjoyed your paragraph Pavel. I have never heard of this novel or film... but I will say I agree that most movies are disappointing after having read the book.
