Good Book，Bad Movie?

They say that “a picture is worth a thousand words”，but the briefest look at books and the movies (1)based on them would have (2)anyone questioning this common saying.All too often，great words end up being turned into cinematic  “turkeys”.

Good movies need good stories.(3)If so，why has one of the earliest and greatest works in Western storytelling，Homer’s 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 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 (4)that (5)while a book usually takes a few days to read，a movie typically lasts under two hours.This means that great books can lose plot details and characters when they move to the big screen.This is something that even the highly successful Harry Potter movies can’t escape from，with fans of the books disappointed (6)not to see some of their favourite characters in the movie versions.

Movies also disappoint us when things don’t look the way (7)we imagined them in the books.Take，for example，the epic movie Troy，(8)which is in part based on Homer’s The Iliad and was met with mixed reviews from the audience.The most questionable issue was the actress(9)chosen to play the part of Helen.Many people thought she didn’t live up to Helen’s title of“the most beautiful woman in the world”，(10)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.(11)With this in mind，perhaps we should judge a movie in its own right，and not against its original source.Interestingly，audiences have in recent years turned to television series such as Sherlock or Mad Men，which can have many characters and gradual plot development.Perhaps，one day，readers of F.Scott Fitzgerald’s most admired work will find themselves (12)glued to their screens by episodes of The Great Gatsby.

(1)based on 是过去分词作定语修饰movies。

(2)questioning...是现在分词作宾语补足语。

(3)if so如果这样，为状语从句的省略结构。

(4)reason 作主语，that引导表语从句。

(5)在表语从句中，while为连词，表对比。

(6)在disappointed后跟不定式的否定式not to do 作原因状语。

(7)此处为省略that的定语从句修饰the way。

(8)本句为which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰Tory。

(9)过去分词短语chosen...作定语。

(10)此处为现在分词短语influencing...作结果状语。

(11)此处为with＋宾语＋介词短语(宾语补足语)。

(12)此处为过去分词短语作宾语补足语。
