There are many advantages and disadvantages in book and movie. Book's advantage is that author can write creatively and deep enough to express his or her idea and movie's advantage is visuality. Also, there are many cases that movie based on book. The Body and Stand By Me is in that relationship. There are many opinions but I personally prefer the movie better than the book.
To begin with, I prefer the visuality. In the book, there are many dialogues. Sometimes I confuse which dialogue is said by whom while I read the book. On the other hand, it is very clear that who is talking. Thus, it helped me to understand the story more. In addition, because there is visual scene, action scenes are more vivid. For example, the scene of train, I felt urgency of kids.
Moreover, the story of movie was a bit different from the book. For instance, in the book, all three friends except for Gordie died. However, in the movie, only Chris died. Actually, I didn't find any necessity of death of three friends, and I personally like the happy ending. On the other hand, I liked the Chris in book. In the book, Chris was very charismatic but in the movie, I think he lacked charisma. However, there were no big difference between the book and the movie.
In conclusion, although there were very a few differences between two, I prefer the movie. If there are less differences, I prefer visual movie.
I agree on most points. The girls in the class, however, would disagree about Chris. He has quite the fanbase.
