Do you prefer reading books or watching films? Why?

Bonne réponse:

I prefer reading books because they let me imagine the scenes in my own way. When I was a teenager, I spent hours in the library, and I felt a deep sense of adventure. Also, books give me time to think about the characters, so I feel more connected to the story.

Can you give an example of a book you read that made you feel something special?

Bonne réponse:

The book “The Alchemist” made me feel hopeful and curious. When I read it, I was in my bedroom, and I felt my heart beat faster as the story unfolded. Also, the author's simple language helped me understand complex ideas, so I felt inspired.

What about films? Name a movie that had a similar impact.

Bonne réponse:

The film “The Lion King” had a similar impact on me. When I watched it as a child, I felt a strong emotional connection to Simba, so I cried at the end. Also, the music and animation made the story unforgettable.

Which do you think is better for learning new ideas, books or films?

Bonne réponse:

I think books are better for learning new ideas because they allow deeper analysis. When I studied philosophy, I read many books and I felt my understanding grow, so I could discuss ideas confidently. Also, books provide references that films sometimes omit.

If you could turn a book into a film, which would you choose and why?

Bonne réponse:

I would choose “The Hobbit” to turn into a film because its adventure is timeless. When I read it, I felt like I was on a quest, so I would keep that feeling in the movie. Also, I would add more scenes to show the characters' growth.
