Question:

Movies vs. Plays?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of seeing a movie and seeing a play? In particular, think in regards to Disney's Peter Pan and Mary Martin or Cathy Rigby's stage Peter Pan. This is a poll I am taking for one of my college course so I can get a sense of the public feeling. Thanks.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Either one is much better than nothing, but I prefer plays. I can lock into the story and the characters in just a short time and am immersed in it all. I seldom cry at movies, but at a play, I just join into whatever emotions the actors are having. I can feel the personality of actresses like Martin or Rigby and thus I will remember the play forever whereas movies seem to fade away.
