Have yu ever seen the mvies r TV plays based n these bks? What d yu think f them?
Gd Bk, Bad Mvie?
Nw let’s read the passage t find ut the authr's pinin.
1They say that “a picture is wrth a thusand wrds”, but the briefest lk at bks and the mvies based n them wuld have anyne questining this cmmn saying. All t ften, great wrds end up being turned int cinematic “turkeys”．
2Gd mvies need gd stries. If s, why has ne f the earliest and greatest wrks in Western strytelling, Hmer’s The Odyssey, never had an equally great mvie based n it? Mvies need strng characters. S why have the mvies based n The Great Gatsby never been praised as “great” ? Mvies f curse need impressive images, s why has Alice in Wnderland nly resulted in mvies best described as “interesting”?
3One f the key reasns behind this is that while a bk usually takes a few days t read, a mvie typically lasts under tw hurs. This means that great bks can lse plt details and characters when they mve t the big screen. This is smething that even the highly successful Harry Ptter mvies can’t escape frm, with fans f the bks disappinted nt t see sme f their favurite characters in the mvie versins.
4Mvies als disappint us when things dn’t lk the way we imagined them in the bks. Take, fr example, the epic mvie Try, which is in part based n Hmer’s The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews frm the audience. The mst questinable issue was the actress chsen t play the part f Helen. Many peple thught she didn’t live up t Helen’s title f “the mst beautiful wman in the wrld”, influencing pinins f the mvie t sme extent.
5There are a thusand Hamlets in a thusand peple’s eyes. Furthermre, bks and mvies are tw different frms f media and therefre have different rules. With this in mind, perhaps we shuld judge a mvie in its wn right, and nt against its riginal surce.
Interestingly, audiences have in recent years turned t televisin series such as Sherlck r Mad Men, which can have many characters and gradual plt develpment. Perhaps, ne day, readers f F. Sctt Fitzgerald’s mst admired wrk will find themselves glued t their screens by episdes f The Great Gatsby.
