阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Many people question the common saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words”, because all too often, great words end up 60 (turn) into cinematic “turkeys”.
Good movies need good stories. But why has one of the earliest and greatest 61 (work) in Western storytelling, Homer’s The Odyssey, never had an 62 (equal) 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 63 (impress) images, so why has Alice in Wonderland only resulted in movies best described as “interesting”?
One of the key reasons behind this is that a movie typically lasts under two hours. This means that great books can lose plot details 64 characters when they move to the big screen. Therefore, fans of the books will be disappointed not to see some of their favourite characters in 65 movie versions.
Movies also disappoint us when things don’t look the way we imagined them in the books. Take, 66 example, the epic movie Troy. Many people 67 (think) the actress chosen to play the part of Helen didn’t live up to Helen’s title of “the most beautiful woman in the world”, 68 (influence) opinions of the movie to some extent.
Considering books and movies are two different forms of media, perhaps we should judge a movie in 69 (it) own right, and not against its original source.
