3、改编的电影，就会让人开始质疑这种说法。很多时候，优秀的文字作品最终却变成了失败的电影。2.Good movies need good stories.If so,why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling,Homers 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
4、 been praised as“great”?Movies of course need impressive images,so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as“interesting”?好电影需要好故事。若是这样，那为什么西方最早也是最优秀的叙事文本之一荷马的奥德赛从来没有产生过同样优秀的改编电影呢？电影中需要个性鲜明的人物。那为什么由了不起的盖茨比改编的电影从未被赞为“了不起”呢？电影当然需要令人印象深刻的画面，那为什么由爱丽丝梦游仙境改编的电影最多也只能称为“有点意思”呢？3.

8、st beautiful woman in the world”,influencing opinions of the movie to some extent.当电影呈现出的事物与我们读书时的想象有落差时，我们也会备感失望。以史诗电影特洛伊为例，它部分改编自荷马的伊利亚特，观众对它的评价毁誉参半。其中最受争议的问题在于扮演海伦的女演员。许多人认为她配不上海伦“世上最美的女人”这一称号，这一定程度上影响到人们对这部电影的看法。5.There are a thousand Hamlet in a thousand peoples eyes.Furthermore,books and movie
