2017.03.04托福独立写作范文​:Some filmmakers make movies based on books. When watching films based on books, some prefer to read the book before watching the movie, while others read the book only after they have watched the movie. Which do you prefer?

现在很多电影都是基于书籍改编而来，看这类电影的时候，有的人喜欢先看书再看电影，其他人则愿意在看完电影之后再去看书。你倾向于哪种看法？

题目解析

题型：比较型

思路：影视相关的话题是托福的常客，以前考过国外的还是国内的影视剧哪个好一些，近两年则没有问得这么宽泛，去年5月份考到的是“是否只有能传递关于现实生活的一些道理的电影才值得去看”，已经具体到电影的内容。这场考题同样是基于电影内容出题。

如果选择前者-先看书后看电影，可以谈及书的描写更细致，而电影会省略到很多情节，有时直接看电影会不那么容易懂。另外有的电影是忠于原著，而有的则是进行大刀阔斧地改编，无论是哪种，先通晓了书中内容，可以更好地欣赏电影的另一种诠释。

如果选择后者-先看电影后看书，可以谈及电影是更受现代人欢迎的一种艺术表现形式，更容易引起观众共鸣。先通过电影了解整个故事脉络，主要人物等，再去书中品味故事中更多细节。

Recent decades have seen an unprecedented development in the movie industry, thanks to the advent of projection technology in the last century and the spread of three dimension movie-making method at the beginning of this century. Since not a few filmmakers derive their inspiration from well-written books, especially those classic ones and best-selling ones, opinions are split when it comes to the movies adapted from fiction or non-fiction books. Some cinemagoers prefer to read the book after they have watched the movie, immersing themselves and savoring the screen-shot stories once again in the book. As far as I am concerned, I would rather restrain myself from watching the movie and turn to the original printed edition first.

The first major reason why I prefer to do so is that in the original book, stories, real or made-up, are usually organized and developed in a longer text. Therefore, one could encounter more detailed description in the book than that in the compact edition presented in the movie. For instance, protagonists may have exhibited a myriad of characteristics via various conflicts with other characters. However, in a movie lasting for two hours on average, one or two characteristics of the protagonists are often arbitrarily selected by the director or just lost due to the performance of the actor or actress. Only after we have thoroughly understood the plots and characters in the book can we appreciate the movie in depth.  

Apart from the incomplete presentation of the original work in a movie, sometimes movies have spoiled my pleasure of imagining the appearance of characters as well as the different scenes they are supposed to be in. Although it is typically argued that words written on the paper are impotent in most cases and television dramas and movies speak more directly than books do, I honestly believe that with the intervention of human’s imagination, words are more powerful weapons than any other tools in terms of the expression of true feelings. On the contrary, after our seeing the movie, the memory of what the characters look like or how their tones are in certain conversations may stick in our mind and would take over our imagination when we read the book.

As is stated above, reading a book before seeing a movie is what I would always do and I also highly recommend others to do so.
