UNIT 6 THE MEDIA UNIT 6 THE MEDIA 阅读美文激活思维● Good Book.Bad Movie? They say that "a picture is worth a thousand words",but the briefest look at books and the movies based on them would have anyone questioning this common saying. Good movies need good stories.If so,why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling,Homer's The Odyssey,never had an equally great movie based on it?Movies need strong characters.So why have the movies based on The Great Gatsby never been praised as "great"?Movies of course need impressive images,so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as"interesting"?One of the key reasons behind this is o that while a book usually takes a few days to read,a movie typically lasts under two hours.This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen. Movies also disappoint us when things don't look the way we imagined them in the books.Take, for example,the epic movie Troy,which is in part based on Homer's The lliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience.The most questionable issue was the actress chosen to play the part of Helen.Many people thought she didn't live up to Helen's title of"the most beautiful woman in the world",influencing opinions of the movie to some extent. There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes.Furthermore,books and movies are two different forms of media and therefore have different rules.
