Greek mythology has always captured the attention of artists around the world, there are many paintings, theater productions and stories based on the many mythological tales of ancient Greece. Now, in our modern age, the fastest way to spread a story to the masses is 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 people in their houses. Cinema is a complex and multifaceted way of telling stories that have existed for thousands of years, bringing these stories to life in the way they would have been imagined by their author or even adapting them to modern life with very contemporary plots. Hollywood likes to use Greek mythology. This is an exceptional example of how directors can maintain the classic themes of a story while adapting them to a modern context. Rather than a statue that comes to life, in the movie “Ruby Sparks” she is the imaginary girl that the male protagonist talked about. The film still keeps some of the basic plot points of “Pygmalion,” but turns it into a modern subject so that those who don't know the story of “Pygmalion” can still enjoy it. This is one of the advantages of using film, now those who have seen this film could quickly identify with 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 faith in women and decides to make her 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 great strides are made and creative license is used. For example, one thing the film doesn't explain is how Ruby manifested herself in the short story written by Calvin and why. In the classic tale it is Aphrodite who gives life to Galatea, but in the modern representation 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, however this is never answered in the film. There are also very subtle changes, like the form Galatea had before she became human, and there are bigger changes like the introduction of a love rival and the internal conflict Calvin has over whether Ruby is real and his dilemma to change his personality. In the classic tale, Galatea loves Pygmalion and they are happy together, but the film portrays much more realistic emotions and the conflict of emotions between the protagonists and how they interact with each other and with others.
