Movies are made from many kinds of stories. These stories can be from books, real life, comics, or even other movies. Making a movie from a story is like having a conversation between the movie and the story.
Long ago, when movies first started, people liked to make films from different stories. Sometimes, when people make a movie from a book, they change things. They might make the story shorter, add new parts, or even make new people in the story.
One time, a man named Erich tried to put a whole book into a movie. His movie was very, very long. People at the movie place said it was too long. They made it shorter, and then even shorter. After that, the movie did not make much sense. Now, most people don't try to put every part of a book into a movie.
Sometimes, when making a movie, people make up new parts that were not in the book. This can make some people happy and others not happy. For example, there was a book with a character named Helen. She was not in the book very much. But in the movie, they made her a bigger part because they thought more women would watch the movie and a famous actress played her.
Some people are very known by many. This is because they are on TV, in movies, play sports, or are leaders. They are also known because they have a lot of money. If many people like them, they are called celebrities.
A man who knows a lot about history, Greg Jenner, wrote a book. He said that a celebrity is someone everyone knows because of TV or the internet. Their life is like a story for people to see. Companies make money from celebrities.
Long ago, people also had celebrities. In old Greece, people who were good at sports were treated like heroes. In old Rome, people liked watching some fighters and actors. Even a man on a coin was famous.
