One difference between a book and a movie is that with a book you are

able to imagine and create the images, settings, and characters in your own mind, while with a movie this is already done for you. In a book, the reader can pause, reread, and take their time to fully understand and absorb the story, while in a movie everything unfolds in real-time and the viewer must keep up with the plot as it advances. Additionally, a book can provide greater detail and insight into characters' internal thoughts and emotions, while a movie must rely on visual cues and dialogue to convey the same information.
