Knowledge of the classics is an integral part of a person's education. Being well-read was the norm in the past centuries, and now such a trait is considered a sign of a good upbringing, a versatility of the individual. Alas, most modern people simply do not have time to read books by great writers one after another, so they prefer to watch films that were staged according to famous lines. Screen adaptation of literary works is also a lifeline for restless people who tend to leave everything halfway.

Many films based on novels by famous authors have become real film masterpieces. They intertwine a brilliant play of actors, a professional production by a talented director and a script written by a brilliant author. In whatever country the film adaptation of literary works is made - any suchthe picture reminds us of past centuries, of those customs and traditions that are embodied by modern actors. Now we will give a small list of those paintings that were staged from books. All of them are very interesting and exciting. Some tell about love, others tell about the life of children, others describe military operations. So, we list the most interesting adaptations of literary works by writers.

1. The Master and Margarita is a cult novel by Mikhail Bulgakov directed by Russian director Vladimir Bortko in 2005. Actors and decorators managed to convey in all its glory the atmosphere of Moscow in the 1930s, the 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, indicating magic and sorcery.



2. The screening of literary works began with the release of the film "Gone with the Wind". It was based on the screenplay of the book of the same name by Margaret Mitchell in 1939. Cinema is also considered one of the first in the genre of color.
3. L. Carroll's tale, 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 everyone. Although "Alice…" is considered a children's fairy tale, even many adults cannot fully understand it.
4. On the example of "The Master and Margarita" it becomes clear that the film adaptation of the literary works of Russian writers is a separate partcinema that deserves the highest praise. Among the works of domestic directors, the film “War and Peace”, based on 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 well.

Unlike reading, it is film adaptation that helps to comprehend the full meaning of what the author was trying 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 movie that was made based on it before reading the book. After that, more accurate images appear in the person’s head, which help to better understand the literary work itself.
