阅读理解
Reading
a
book
and
watching
a
film are
two
very
different
experiences, but
expectations
can
be
high
when
a
film
of
a
favourite
book
is
made.
There
are
very
many
times I have been disappointed by a
film of a book I love. So maybe highly regarded
books do not always make good films. It
is safe to say that great movies may be made
from not particularly good books.
The
source
material
may
be
anything
from
classic
novels,
short
stones,
comic
books
and
stage plays, as wel
l as non?fiction
such as biography and autobiography, even
those written by ghostwriters. All can
work well, but why do many adaptations and
indeed remakes fail with both cinema
audiences and critics?
A
key
question
is
obviously
how
close
to
the
original
the
film
is.
Since
a
typical
film is only around
two hours long, it becomes a question of what to
leave out, and
how to script the
dialogue. Sometimes there may be changes to the
plot, additions
and
even
different
endings
to
please
producers,
directors
and
test
audiences.
I,
like
many people, have often
left the cinema feeling “the film is not like the
book”．

Another problem area is the cast.
Whether suitable actors are found or not can
mean the difference
between
success
and
failure. Readers of
the book
use
their
imaginations
to
visualize
characters
and
have
very
definite
ideas
about
how
characters
look and sound.
This is where I think many film adaptations fall
down.
Some
books
are
just
too
difficult
to
film
for
technical
reasons,
although
movies
like
The
Life
of
Pi
are changing this perception. The impact of CGI
technology has
had
a
huge
impact
on
the
movie
industry
and
allowed
the
previously
unfilmable
to
become
a
reality.
Sometimes authors are very
involved in the process and many may even be the
screenwriters. This can actually be a
bad thing because they may be too close to the
material
and
find
it
difficult
to
adapt.
At
other
times
they
are
not
the
screenwriters,
and there are
instances where writers have been very unhappy
with the film versions
of their work.
Roald Dahl and Stephen King are examples of this.
Even more extreme
was
novelist
J
．
D.
Salinger
who
made
sure
no
film
versions
of
his
popular
novels
could
ever be made. In this
situation, it is clear viewers will not be
disappointed.
