Are movies the manifestations of the books of our lives?

movies are quite the image when they capture the essence of life, ever seen a movie and wondered how your life would be like if written in a book and interpreted as a movie?

Yes. Movies are acted based on human behavior and activities. Attitudes of human such as kindness, wickedness, hatred etc. are portrayed in movies to mostly educate people to adopt good behavior and avoid bad behaviors. A times consequences of bad and good behaviors are shown in movies to serve as an advice.
So is true that movies are manifestation of the books of our lives.

On day one of film school the instructor asked us to name our 5 favorite movies. From there she told us what each of our issues was. Private Benjamin was one of mine. She said I was in a rut.

Interesting, I guess our likes and dislikes do tell a lot about our personalities and preferences. Our choices do define us.

They are, it's just that sometimes they over dramatize our daily actions. There is this scene in a lot of movies that I always thought was ridiculous and didn't happen in reality; it's the scene where a couple would get together and afterward they would show you scenes of them crossing path at various intervals. I didn't believe that that would ever happen, however a few months a go I was going through some old photos when I saw a childhood photo of me and boy, who very much resembles one of my best friends that I met in my last in my last year of high school, and he confirmed that it was him

see, that's quite inspiring, there is a very fine line between coincidence and fate. And I do believe in circular plots as history does repeat itself if you may say.

as much as I like reading books that depict other people's lives, I'm not too sure I would want my life read by other people. may be I would write about my journey through my career but I wouldn't write about my personal life

From the viewpoint of business it's like the movie is made to make money, the better to make profits with good movies. I'd say they make a lot more good movies now than they did in the past, say fifty years ago, when the "world was young", I suppose. In those days the film genre was predictably limited to romance, cowboys and indians and period films like "The Ten Commandments". This is not to say that these films lacked in artistry because they didn't. The difference is that modern themes now are better researched and financed in pre-production. Attention to detail is top priority and so movies have acquired a new level that they are no longer there just to entertain but make us learn about life, too.

Movies to me are quite everything; our past, present, future; our hopes, inspirations, aspirations..; our pureness, pervasions...

[Delioness]

Movies most often reflect individual behaviours. This warrants the disclaimer in almost all movies stating that any resemblance to a person's name or place is nothing more than a coincidence.

I have thought about my life as a book, at times. When I've gained new perspective on some aspect of life, I feel as though I've turned the page in my book, or when there's a change in something that has been significant in my life (like a relationship, or job), it's like a chapter has ended, and a new one is beginning. I don't think I'd want a movie/TV show done, specifically, about my life, but I wouldn't mind being included in a movie with a larger theme/greater scope.
