Knowledge of the classics is an integral part of human education. Readability was the norm in the past centuries, and now this feature is considered a sign of good education, the versatility of the individual. Alas, most modern people simply do not have time to read the books of great writers one after the other, so they prefer to watch films that were put on the famous lines. The screen version of literary works is also a lifeline for people restless, inclined to throw everything halfway.
Many films that were staged based on the novels of famous authors have become real movie masterpieces. They intertwine a brilliant play of actors, a professional production of a talented director and a script written by a brilliant author. In whatever country the screen version of literary works was made, any similar picture reminds us of past centuries, of those mores and traditions that are embodied by modern actors. Now we give a small list of those paintings that were put on books. All of them are very interesting and fascinating. Some talk about love, others tell about the lives of children, others describe military operations. So, we list the most interesting adaptations of literary works by writers.
- “The Master and Margarita” is a cult novel by Mikhail Bulgakov, which was directed by Russian director Vladimir Bortko in 2005. Actors and decorators managed in all their glory to convey the atmosphere of Moscow in the 1930s, then life and views. The feature of the film is the transition from sepia, which indicates that the events are real, to a color image that testifies to magic and enchantment.
- Screen adaptation of literary works began with the release of the painting "Gone with the Wind." It was shot according to the script of the book of the same name by Margaret Mitchell in 1939. Cinema is also considered one of the first in the color genre.
- The tale of L. Carroll, which was put on the screen by Soviet animators and American directors, is "Alice in Wonderland." This story is confusing, devoid of the usual logic and common sense for all. Although "Alice ..." is considered a children's fairy tale, even many adults cannot understand it to the end.
- Using the example of “Masters and Margarita”, it becomes clear that the film adaptation of the literary works of Russian writers is a separate part of the cinema that deserves the highest praise. Among the works of domestic directors, the film “War and Peace,” staged from the book of the same name by Leo Tolstoy, is famous. And foreign cinema took up the production of "Eugene Onegin", focusing on the lines of Pushkin, and, it is worth saying, it turned out pretty badly.
Unlike reading, it is the film adaptation that helps to understand the full meaning of what the author tried to convey to the reader. There are a lot of literary works, and they all belong to different genres. That is why many people prefer to review the film that was shot on it before reading the book. After that, more precise images appear in a person’s head, which help to better understand the literary work itself.
