对比性英语作文，现在有些名著被改成电影，请问你是喜欢电影还是喜欢名著？说出理由

　　People who love reading are frequently disappointed by the movie versions of their favorite books. There have been some great films made from books, but typically, movie versions of books
　　tend to aggrieve readers because they are not just like the book. When
　　a film director works from an adapted screenplay, the results are not
　　the same as reading the book, for various reasons. For example, a film
　　that precisely follows a novel likely would be too long for most
　　audiences to sit through at a single showing, so some things must be
　　left out. Also, a book can easily convey things to the reader that are
　　much more difficult for a movie to convey, such as background
　　information about the setting, the history and nature of characters'
　　relationships or even what characters are thinking at certain times.
　　Importance of Imagination
　　Books and movies
　　are very different entities. Films leave little to viewers’
　　imaginations. When reading, a person is creating his or her own movie
　　in a sense, and he or she decides many of the important parts: how the
　　characters speak, what they look like and what their surroundings look
　　like. This process of imagining and interpreting as a reader is a
　　creative process that is distinctly different from viewing a film.

　　Casting Decisions
　　When directors cast roles for films, the actor or actress inevitably
　　does not look the way that most readers of the book had pictured the
　　character. For instance, casting Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon in The Da Vinci Code
　　has been considered a significant mistake by many people. In fact, the
　　book describes Langdon as resembling actor Harrison Ford, who bears no
　　resemblance to Hanks.
　　Other types of casting decisions that often disappoint moviegoers are
　　when an actor or actress who is known for comedic roles is cast in a
　　dramatic role, or when an actor or actress is given a leading role in a
　　major film despite having acting skills that are considered less than
　　stellar. No matter how the actor or actress performs in the film, it can
　　be difficult for viewers who know him or her from other films to
　　disregard their previous impressions. An actor or actress who speaks
　　with an accent that does not fit the role — either because the character
　　should have a particular accent or because the actor or actress does
　　when the character should not — also can be disappointing for people who
　　"heard" the character's voice differently while reading the book.
　　Missing Material
　　A classic complaint about movie versions concerns the omission of
　　material that the reader finds important. If the director must make
　　film that is the proper length for a theatrical release, there is no way
　　to include everything, especially when it comes from a long novel. The
　　film version of Gone with the Wind, for example, omits the fact
　　that Scarlett O’Hara had two children by her first two husbands, and
　　she really disliked the children.
　　Perhaps the director wanted to make Scarlett more sympathetic and
　　knew that portraying this dislike would make people hate Scarlett. It is
　　an important aspect of the book, and it forms her character into a much
　　more complex person. The film, to many people, is better than the book,
　　but to other people, it is a good movie but not a faithful
　　representation of the book.
　　Making Changes
　　Another thing that might annoy people about the film versions of their favorite books is adding material to the story or changing material. There are many such complaints regarding Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Ringsmovies,
　　for instance. Important material, such as the battle in the Shire at
　　the end of the last book, is deleted, and other material that was not
　　written by J.R.R. Tolkien was added to the films. These changes include
　　Arwen setting off for the Gray Havens and then nearly dying, Aragorn’s
　　flirtation with Eowyn, Sauruman’s death by falling off the tower of
　　Isengard and Frodo abandoning Sam before crossing into Mordor. Other
　　additions included Faramir torturing Gollum and kidnapping Frodo and Sam
　　as well as Faramir’s intention to seize the ring from Frodo.
　　Different Interpretations
　　Despite the complaints about differences from the Tolkien's books,
　　Jackson's films are widely considered to be quite good. The problem for
　　Jackson and other directors is that their interpretation of a book is
　　not the same as anyone else's. In the end, no director can satisfy
　　everyone who read the book, because he or she works off a personal
　　interpretation, might be under time constraint and is working in a
　　completely different medium. Each person creates a mental version while
　　reading a book, and no film version can live up to everyone's mental
　　vision.
