"A Streetcar Named Desire"- movie
Up to this point in the movie, I enjoyed it. The movie helped clarify what I read in the book a bit. I think that they did a good job showing off the scenery and characters. However, I think that stories in a movie form makes the stories seem... limited. When you read a story, there is an unlimited amount of ways to imagine what the characters look like and what the setting looks like. What is also limited is some of the things the characters say or do.

I always dislike seeing a movie after I have read the book (or play) because nothing is ever like I pictured it. For instance, I read "The DaVinci Code" and had a clear picture in my head of the character of Robert Langdon. The movie trailers are out and Tom Hanks is playing him!!! I don't even want to go see it.
I think it depends on the movie. In this case, I am actually enjoying watching the movie after reading the play because I am understanding more of who the characters are and what is going on.
