Each medium has their advantages and disadvantages‚ but I think they benefit each other. In the play‚ the reader gets more freedom to come to their own conclusion about Father Flynn‚ whereas in the movie‚ there is a strong influence on his guiltiness. As Shanley is the playwright and also the director‚ he constructs both to be beneficial in their own

The movie was more intriguing than the book and was easier to comprehend the history. The movie helped me understand what was going on in the book. The movie caught my attention more than the book did. The movie emphasized more than the book did.
