Alice, Harry Potter, Shrek: What do they have in common? All are characters in books, and all have made the big leap(跳跃) from the printed page to the big screen!

Hollywood has 1 that popular children's books can make popular movies. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone 2 more money than any other film in the year when it hit the big screen. Filmmakers have also worked their magic with other 3 , including Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat.

Turning a book into a movie is not 4 . Screenwriters(电影剧本作家) have a challenging job. They turn written words and imagined scenes into spoken words and action. 5 , they must make a 400—page story fit into two hours. At other times, the screenwriters make a short story longer 6 adding more to the plots(情节) . That's one reason the film is never exactly the same as the book. "It has to be different, or it won't work, " says Natalie Babbitt, an American author(作家). She 7 Tuck Everlasting. The movie has a love story that's not even in the book!

What comes to mind when you think of kung fu? If your mind is filled with images of Shaolin monks (僧侣), Bruce Lee, or Kung Fu Panda, you wouldn't be wrong. But for Alex Brown, an American filmmaker, the first thing is non-violence (非暴力), "Kung fu also means wushu in Chinese. Wu means zhige (止戈) in Chinese, so the real meaning of kung fu is the art of stopping fighting."

Brown decided to make searching for kung fu long ago. It was not from three-minute passion (热情).

In the 1970s, he was a karate (空手道) student in Hawaii. "My teacher always told me that if I want to fully understand karate, I have to go to the Shaolin Temple in China. That's where theoriginis." Brown said. So Brown dreamed of going to the Shaolin Temple in China and learning about kung fu.

In 1981, Brown visited the Shaolin Temple for the first time.

"I practiced many different kinds of Chinese kung fu for over 40 years," Brown said. The movie comes from his passion, understanding and discoveries.

The thought of making a film about kung fu stayed in Brown's mind for years. Last year, he found a producer (制片人), and the dream finally came true.

Twelv-­year­-old Cale Ferrin hasn't seen many people who look like him in TV shows or movies. But in 2019, Ferrin represented people like him in the movie More Beautiful for Having Been Broken. He plays the role of Freddie, a young boy who has a rare blood disorder(血液病) in the countryside. Ferrin has the same disease in real life. He had more than 27 surgeries and more than 100 hospital visits before the age of 7. But none of these stopped his dream of acting.

"Special needs actors are just as good as other actors, and I just want to take away love. Love is the biggest thing," Ferrin said.

More Beautiful for Having Been Broken, directed by US director Nicole Conn, was inspired by Conn's child Nicholas. Nicholas was 100 days premature(早产的) and weighed only one pound (about 0.45 kg), but his mother never gave up on him. Besides, Nicholas is brave and does not bow to fate.

Some of the film's events are similar to those that Ferrin has actually experienced. For example, in one scene, the character he plays has aseizure. This brought back memories of being in the hospital and being hooked up to(与……连接) medical equipment for Ferrin.

Conn said that while there's a growing trend towards inclusivity(包容性) in films, Ferrin is still just one of the few disabled actors who are playing disabled characters.

"It just makes me feel amazed that I'm inspiring so many kids out there because I just want to show them that I get it. You're scared, but just go out there," Ferrin said.
