This paper, from the movie adaptation perspective, chooses the novel Cold Mountain written by an American novelist, Charles Frazier and the corresponding Film, adapted by Antony Minghella, as the cases to make an analysis how to adapt the plots from the novel to the film, including some typical techniques: the montage in both the novel and the movie. This thesis makes a deep research between two works and explicates these two versions in respects of the plots adaptation, and montage technique from novel to movie. Nowadays more and more excellent novels are shot on the silver screen, so an adaptation study on Cold Mountain is meaningful.
