Comics as Movies

I think it is very interesting how closely related comic books and movies are. After watching "Persepolis", I really noticed it. The movie was just as I had imagined it while reading, except not in as much detail. Comics are actually better at telling a story, because they can do more than a movie. They can slow down the time and give you different thoughts that a movie can't. Movies can't really show you what is going on in someone's head, like a comic book can. Comics slow down time and tell the story, whereas movies just show you.
