films instead of books

After spending a very enjoyable evening trolling around on youtube and finding the following movie



Then thanks to tall skinny kiwi, finding this, and being moved to tears over the story:



I have come to the conclusion that I get far more out of a good movie than words. A movie in all its richness draws something from deep within me that no other media seems to do.

Interestingly enough a good story I will also remember for years to come, but I don't get emotional about stories very much.

In conclusion why doesn't someone make the whole of the bible into like a 48 hour movie or something. The problem being that a good movie is a huge undertaking. I would buy a copy :) Other ideas include putting all education into a movie were possible. Of all the English lessons I ever had the only ones I remember and enjoyed was film critic. Loved the science films as a kid. Maybe instead of having a curriculum that was based upon words with visual pictures and movies as a back up, why not have a curriculum that was based on movies and pictures with words as a back up.

Maybe that is why some many dyslexics like arts/media/computers cause they are all heavyly visual.
