The Hobbit (1977)
directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin, Jr.
This movie is a pretty faithful adaptation of the original book, and so, it is pretty fun! All the whimsy of The Hobbit without having a migrane! I'm not trying to disrespct J.r.r. Tolkien here, I'm just not used to reading that particular style of prose.
It's funny to say that this humble animation is a far better adaptation and film than the 2012-2014 adaptations. Comparing the budgets sent me. The 1977 animation cost $3 million, according to wikipedia, and the 2012-2014 live-action trillogy cost $700–745 million! Just goes to show how money ain't everything.
Personally, what makes me enjoy The Hobbit more than the Lord of the Rings is the whimsy of it all. That is precisely why I am so ghappy that the film also adapted the songs! I gotta say, the Orcs' song was REALLy fuckin' goood.
My only real issue with the movie is Smaug's voice. They really could've done better. That and the lack of folie, I mean, of course there WAS folie, but not enough. They did also cut a few scenes from the book, like visiting Bjorn and a dwarf falling into the river in lego forest. There must be more, but it's been a while since I've read the Hobbit.
If you got an afternoon to spare, I'd recommend watching this! Make sure you're cosy though, you need to match the Hobbits' freak.
My Rating:
The Wyrd Sisters
Directed by Jean Flynn
Once again, I must say that this 6 part mini series is a wonderful adaptaion of Sir Terry Pratchett's Wyrd Sisters. The script is nearly word for word! (and the jokes hit just as well on the screen as they do on the page).
My Rating:
Frankenstein
by Guillermo Del Toro
From my Tumblr:
Just watched del Toro's Frankenstein and holy shit it was good
It's been a while since I read(listened) the book but to my knowledge it's pretty fuckin faithful (not that any deviation from the source material is automatically bad, I've moved pass that) but I must say victor is soooo much more of an absolute fuck gace in this one. I mean book victor would be appalled by movie victor. Also I'm very glad that Elizabeth isn't victor's sister/cousin anymore... That was ... Yeah
Oh but I need to talk about the creature!! It's perfect! A bit too perfect maybe... I dunno guys I'm not a monsterfucker but he was pretty handsome not gonna lie
And another thing! I love when movies actually have different languages! At a certain point young victor says "father" and then [it's mother] in french and like ... I feel seen.
Anyways good movie 10/10 would movie again
(not from tumblr) After some time, I think I've figured out why Elizabeth's character didn't sit right with me. It's cause she cheated on her fiance TWICE (kinda)
