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 Ol yssey, 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 ·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 plo
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 Iliad and was met witl
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 to② 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.

一部电影的素材可以取材自经典小说、短篇小说、漫画书、舞台剧,也可以取自传记、自传等非小

没能受到电影观众与评论家的好评呢?为什么有些改编作品的评分比其他作品低呢?
显而易见,一个关键的问题在于这部电影与原作接近程度如何。因为电影通常只有两小时左右,
所以对于编剧来说,要决定(书中)哪部分适合银幕,哪部分要删减就成了一个问题。编剧有创作自

另一个问题在于演员阵容。找到电影观众所接受的演员可能决定着电影的成败。读者会通过自

电影改编失败的地方
一些书由于技术原因很难拍成电影,虽然《少年派的奇幻漂流》等电影的出现正在改变这一问题。
电脑生成动画技术对电影产业有重大影响,这让以前无法拍摄的内容得以实现
人们可能会认为,最适合改编电影的人应该是书籍作者本人。事实上,作者有时的确会参与改
编,甚至可能担任电影编剧。但这其实有局限性,因为作者本人可能过于忠于书中内容,很难将其改
编成一种新的形式。有时作者本人并不是电影编剧,于是出现了作者对自已作品所拍摄的电影版本
非常不满意的情况。斯蒂芬·金就是这样。小说家杰罗姆·大卫·塞林格更为极端,他永远不准自
己广受欢迎的小说《麦田里的守望者》被拍成电影版本。在这种情况下,读者显然就不会失望!不管
