What are the reasons that make them to become classical? All of these questions that we will concert in this paper. Therefore, first, I will introduce adapted film from literature in four different times, and then compare the differences between the literature articale and the film. In the end, I will talk about the status and influences about the adapted films. I will analyze personally about the special phenomenon and events in every time, for example, films to celebrate tenth anniversary of the founding of the PRC;"Shinning Red Star"and"Hai Xia"in Cultural Revolution; fifth-generation director and"the year of Wang Shuo";Zhang Yimou and his film.
