A recent trend in the entertainment world is to adapt classic works of literature for either TV plays or the movies.One argument is that this is to everyone's benefit,as it introduces people to works they might otherwise never have experienced,while others say that turning books into movies not only cheapens the original,but is rarely done successfully.So what do you think?
In the past few years,we have seen several classic works of literature were adapted into movies.Many people believe that turning a novel into a film is a great idea,but some obviously think otherwise.According to the latter,translating classic works into movies destroys its originality and credibility.In my opinion,literary works can get translated into the screens effectively.
The main challenge that filmmakers face while turning a classic work into a movie is its imaginary world.Generally,the perception(見解) of the book's imaginary world differs from person to person.And it's quite challenging to put all these different perceptions in one frame.But modern technology has made this challenge achievable.For example,the filmmakers used visual effects to successfully adapt "Harry Potter" movies so visually appealing that their perception of "Harry Potter" changed.Therefore,literary works can be translated into films through technical means.
Also,while making a film,the main focus of makers always remains on the main plotline and characters.But for movies based on literary works,this issue is not there as these movies carry the same basic plotline as it is present in the books.Therefore,directors do not have to spend much time and imagination on the plot of the movie,which makes the adaptation quite easy.
Based on the above arguments,I believe that it is quite possible to make a beautiful movie based on a classic work using modern technologies and a writer' s imagination.
