自现代电影艺术产生至今,从传统小说名著中汲取灵感或直接以小说名著为蓝本的影片比比皆是。

海明威是美国知名作家和文坛巨匠，他精通现代叙事艺术，并于1954年被授予了诺贝尔文学奖。

他的巨著《永别了，武器》也曾被三次改编成电影搬上银幕，每次都是褒贬参半。

当前关于海明威的作品《永别了，武器》的研究主要集中于语言风格和海明威式的英雄，很少有人关注电影改编与原著在人物塑造上的差异性对比分析。

传统研究将忠实性作为电影改编与原著关系唯一的黄金法则，在这种条件下，任何的创新和再造都是不被允许的。

随着电影艺术的发展，这条黄金法则被导演和演员们打破了，结果大批的著名小说都以创新和有趣的形式被呈现给观众。

这篇论文将以海明威的《永别了，武器》为蓝本，从人物塑造的角度对电影改编与原著进行比较分析。
