　　There is a common saying that “a picture is worth a thousand words”. Good movies need good stories, strong characters and     1    (impress) images. However, someone questions the saying for the    2    (reason): First, great books can lose plot details and characters     3     they move to the big screen.

Movies also disappoint us when things don’t look the way we     4    (imagine) them in the books. For example, in the epic movie Troy, the actress     5    (choose) to play the part of Helen didn’t live    6    to Helen’s title of “    7    (beautiful) woman in the world”,    8    (influence)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. With this in mind, perhaps we should judge     9    movie in its own right, and not against its     10     (origin) source.

Second, CGI has been frequently used in film-making to make visual special effects.     5    , the aid of computers isn’t always preferred. For example, Peter Jackson took a creative approach—clever camera angles, to make characters seem bigger or     6    (small) than they really were when making The Lord of the Rings.    7    (three), to make a film look real, directors and his fellows will make great efforts to research, find and build objects. For example, James Cameron had 500 workers    8    (work) 100 days to build a full-sized model for his 1997 film—Titanic.

Hopefully, next time you go to the cinema, you may as well spare    9    thought for all those talented people behind the     10    (scene).
