dramatise 是及物动词，直接接宾语，不需要介词 about。中文“把事件戏剧化”里的“把”容易让人误加 about，应改为直接宾语。
The film is very dramatise.The film is very dramatised.
be 动词后不能用动词原形作表语；表示“被戏剧化的”应该用过去分词 dramatised 作形容词。
He made the story dramatise.He made the story dramatic.
“make + 宾语 + 形容词”表示“使…变得…”，而 dramatise 是动词，不能作宾语补足语；此处应改用形容词 dramatic 表示“有戏剧性的”。

Pronunciation & Spelling
These words all end with the spelling -ise and final sound /aɪz/, which is useful for comparing the ending of dramatise /ˈdræmətaɪz/. However, they are not exact rhymes because their stressed vowels and following sounds differ (e.g. recognise is /ˈrekəɡnaɪz/). Beware lookalikes: drama /ˈdrɑːmə/ and dramatist /ˈdræmətɪst/ have very different endings.
