Greek mythology has always attracted the attention of artists around the world. There are many paintings, theater productions and stories based on the many mythological tales of ancient Greece. Today, in our modern age, the quickest way for a story to spread to the masses is through entertainment, and with the development of cinema and the multitude of visual effects, we now have a new medium to interpret and show these stories to individuals in their own homes. Cinema is a complex and multifaceted way of telling stories that have existed for thousands of years, bringing these stories to life as they would have been imagined by their author or even inserting them into modern life with very plots. contemporary. Hollywood loves to use Greek mythology. This is an exceptional example of how directors can retain the classic themes of a story while adapting them to a modern context. Rather than a statue that comes to life, in the film "Ruby Sparks" it is the fictional girl that the male protagonist wrote about. The film retains some of the basic plot points like "Pygmalion", but makes it modern in subject matter so those unfamiliar with the story of "Pygmalion" can still enjoy it. This is one of the benefits of using film, now those who have seen this film can quickly relate to the story of “Pygmalion”, even if they were reading it for the first time. It’s the different storylines that keep the viewer coming back for more. "Pygmalion", by Ovid, is the story of a sculptor who has lost confidence in women and decides to make the ideal woman. While some of these changes may be considered absurd to those familiar with the originals, it is for the viewing pleasure of the masses that cinematic leaps are made and creative license is used. For example, one thing the movie doesn't explain is how Ruby manifested from the tale Calvin wrote and why. In the classic tale, it is Aphrodite who brings Galatea to life, but in the modern depiction, there is no explanation, leaving the viewer with questions. It could be that the typewriter Calvin used was magical, or that a spirit like Aphrodite helped him, but the film never answered that question. There are also very discrete changes, like the form Galatea had before becoming human, and there are larger changes like the introduction of a love rival and the inner conflict Calvin has about the reality of Ruby and her dilemma of changing her personality. In the classic story, Galatea loves Pygmalion and they are happy together, but the film depicts much more realistic emotions and the conflict of emotions between the protagonists and the way they interact with each other and with others.
