Lk at the pictures and answer the questins.
1 Have yu ever read any f these bks? What are they abut?
Dream f the Red Chamber The wrk, published in English as Dream f the Red Chamber（1929）, first appeared in manuscript frm in Beijing during Ca Xueqin’s lifetime. In 1791, almst 30 years after his death, the nvel was published in a cmplete versin f 120 chapters prepared by Cheng Weiyuan and Ga E. Uncertainty remains abut the final 40 chapters f the bk; they may have been frged by Ga, substantially written by Ca Xueqin and simply discvered and put int final frm by Cheng and Ga, r perhaps cmpsed by an unknwn authr. The Stry f the Stne（1973–1986）is a cmplete five-vlume English translatin. Dream f the Red Chamber, Hng-lu-meng, a nvel written by Ca Xueqin in the 18th century is generally cnsidered t be the greatest f all Chinese nvels and amng the greatest in wrld literature.
The Great Gatsby The Great Gatsby is a nvel written by American authr F. Sctt Fitzgerald in 1925. At first glance, the nvel appears t be a simple lve stry, but further examinatin shws Fitzgerald’s masterful bservatin f American sciety during the 1920s and the crruptin f the American dream.
Mment in Peking Mment in Peking was written by Lin Yutang in English during his stay in Paris frm 1938 t 1939. Lin was very active in the ppularizatin f classical Chinese literature in the West, as well as vigrus with the general Chinese attitude twards life. His bks therefre represent an attempt t bridge the cultural gap between the East and the West.
2 Have yu ever seen the mvies r TV plays based n these bks? What d yu think f them?
The film：The Great Gatsby I think highly f the film adapted frm the nvel The Great Gatsby because it’s just like the bk.
They 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”.
Gd 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”
One 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.
Mvies 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.
There 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.
Scan the passage. Find ut which f the bks in Activity 1 are mentined.
The Great Gatsby and The Iliad
Match the authr’s pinins abut the mvie adaptatins t the examples frm the passage.
1 Sme parts f the stry and sme characters are missing in the mvie. 2 The visual images are nt as striking as the descriptins in the bk. 3 The mvie is nt as great as the bk. 4 The mvie desn’t lk the way we visualised while reading the bk. 5 The characters d nt stand ut.
Think & Share
1 What des the saying “There are a thusand Hamlets in a thusand peple’s eyes” mean? D yu knw f any similar sayings in Chinese? It means readers usually have different ideas abut hw the characters frm a certain nvel shuld lk like. Similar sayings in Chinese include“一千个人眼中有一千个林黛玉/ 贾宝玉”，etc.
2　What bks wuld yu like t see made int mvies? Why? Stries f the Sahara written by Sanma. Stries f the Sahara is a series f stries set in the desert. Because f the attractin f a gegraphy magazine, Sanma walked int the Sahara desert with her bags n her back，lking fr the truth, gdness and beauty f life in the desert. Each stry in the bk is filled with a rmantic, affectinate extic tne, which reflects the unique terrain, landfrm and custms f the great desert.
3 What ther reasns d yu think make mvie adaptatins less satisfactry than the riginal bks? The descriptin in the riginal bks leaves rm fr readers t imagine while the mvie can’t.
Wrk in grups. Give a talk abut a mvie adapted frm a bk.
1 Use the ntes t help plan yur talk.
2 Organise yur talk fllwing the steps belw. Intrduce the bk.Describe the mvie adaptatin.Give yur pinin f the mvie adaptatin.3 Give yur talk t the class.
One pssible versin:1 Title f the bk：Jurney t the West Yur pint f view：successful Reasns：It is a magic nvel adapted frm a real adventure. In the Tang Dynasty, fur mnks travelled t the ld India n ft fr the truth f Buddhism. In spite f all the dangers, trubles and the far distance alng the way, they finally succeeded by vercming all thse difficulties. As the nly masterpiece f the writer, it impressed me deeply by the main characters’ bravery and their strng will f mving n. In my eyes, the stry is inspiring and thught-prvking.
