is the box-office hit in the Unite States. First of all, the Chinese audience doesn’t acquaint with this American novel. Moreover, as the target title，《佛列斯特甘普》is not simple and direct. This version may make no sense to Chinese audience because the title gives little information and hint about the film content. Thus, the translator combines this American novel with a famous Chinese novel《阿Q正传》which is a known nearly by all the Chinese people, written by LuXun. By this way, The Chinese audience will have intimacy to this film. The film will popular before it is projected. As is demonstrated in the foregoing discussion, the title is flexibly translated into《阿甘正传》due to many common information in the two literary works.
 4.1.3 Inflexible
 Literal Translation has shortcomings. It can not be ignored that literal translation is more rigid and inflexible, which may not make the audience have a taste of the artistic features and attractiveness of the film. For example, the classic Hollywood film Pretty Woman, this film tells the story is starring Julia Roberts, a call girl in the film and Richard Gere plays a high-level white-collar workers’ love story. China literally translated as 《漂亮女人》. This is nothing wrong with the basic means to express the correct translation, but the contrast difference to Hong Kong is apparent. Hong Kong translate it into 《风月俏佳人》. May be translation of the mainland is too rigid, while Hong Kong is an interesting translation ": fengyue" (风月)has hinted at the heroine's career, "qiaojiaren" is not only the praise to the heroine but also a beautiful hope to their marriage. Therefore this translation is pretty remarkable

In contrast, the translation of 《变相怪杰》 of Hong Kong . Which is fully embodies the film’s style and content, also quite attractive.
