While the audience have expressed their frustrations on this point, I think this complaint has been primarily unfair to Hollywood’s creations. Despite their borrowed story points and characters, these movies can be truly inspiring when done correctly.I’ve worked at a mo vie theatre for more than three years and have seen how the audience appreciate several of these movies. “The Dark Knight Rises”was inspired by acomedic book character; yet according to several sources, it got more than $354 million domestically(在国内方面)as of Aug. 5. I worked at the weekend, seeing many peopleattend and enjoy this movie.Several other recent movies, however, couldn’t boast“The Dark Knight Rises”success, and perhaps this is why the audience are becoming dissatisfied. Usually, sequels(续集)rarely live up to the thrill of the original—it’s difficult to satisfy book-lovers with movie adaptations. While 3D was once an impressive new invention, its uniqueness has gone. The audience no longer find 3D movies worth the higher ticket price or the uncomfortable glasses.I started to consider the issue of new stories while watching“The Amazing Spider-Man”for the second time last weekend. This movie has been closely compared to the original Spider-Man comics. What truly impressed me about the film, however, is that though it brought in aspects of the story, it truly felt like its own movie.Why are audience so frustrated by repeated stories? In researching the phrase“there are no new stories”, I found several variations but no clear indication of the prim ary origin. The phrase itself is an old thought used to explain our frustration with these repetitions.In fact we don’t want new stories, we want new ways of experiencing them and new ways of being reminded we are humans with various forms of emotions.6. The author wants to tell us that.A. unexpected paths can make old stories successfulB. only new stories can bring new life to HollywoodC. people are tired of seeing the unfashionable moviesD. reform must be done to the Hollywood movies7.

In the present movies, .A. “The Dark Knight Rises”has gained the most profitB. the audience long for“The Dark Knight Rises”C. “The Dark Knight Rises”is the newly released sequelD. the book-lovers are pursuing“The Dark Knight Rises”9. How does the auth or find“The Amazing Spider-Man”?A. He has never seen a wonderful film like that.B. It is worse than the original Spider-Man comics.C.
