Description:
This paper reviews and analyzes the 1938 classic film "The Adventures of Robin Hood." In particular, the paper examines the classic elements of the movie that make it entertaining today without special effects. The paper notes that the way in which the characters are depicted make it an enduring classic, especially Robin Hood appearing as a political leader and not simply a rebel without a cause.
From the Paper:
"Michael Curtiz and William Keightley depict Robin Hood sympathetically. The audience's trust in Robin Hood never wavers because of his charm and righteousness. By devoting a large portion of the film to Prince John and his sleazy sidekick Sir Guy of Gisbourne (Basil Rathbourne), the filmmakers fully develop Robin Hood's motive. Thus, Robin Hood becomes far more than his oversimplified persona as someone who stole from the rich to give to the poor. The Adventures of Robin Hood depict the legend as a populist revolt against an unjust and tyrannical government and not as a massive wealth redistribution program."Cite this Film Review:
