Essays 2-02a: Group Movie Reviews

Our favorite movies are the Walt Disney version and the 1991 one. And our favorite scenes of the Disney version are disguised scene, fighting scene, singing songs scene, and playing tennis scene. Also, 1991 one’s favorite scenes are stealing money scene, fighting scene, love scene, and wedding scene.

First, Robin Hood wore a lot of disguises in the Disney movie. He is a funny and intelligent man. We couldn’t know that Robin Hood is disguised as an old man before he reveals his true self. Robin Hood gave some money for poor people as an old man. He also gave presents to children for their birthday. The theme song of this movie is Oo-De-Lally. This song is very famous and popular all over the world. Robin Hood sang this song with his friends and seemed so funny. Then, playing tennis with a princess and a maid looked a peaceful scene.

Next, Robin Hood stole money a lot from rich people in the 1991 movie. He seemed a bad person at first, but he saved poor people in real. He moved really agile and looked so strong man. Robin Hood and the princess was a childhood friend, and they met again, and at last, they married. So, we thought that Robin Hood showed his great strength with fighting to her, and she must be fascinated by his strength. They are the best couple we’ve ever seen, we thought.

In all of the series of the movies, there are fighting scenes. Robin Hood’s movies’ high point is fighting scene. Without the scene, this movie is not consist we guess. Fighting for lovers or poor people must be very powerful, and important, so Robin Hood's fighting is not only for himself but for his friends. Maybe Marian princess was kept on tenterhooks in fighting, but she was loved by Robin Hood, and she was very happy, we thought. Then poor people also believed Robin Hood forever, we thought.

At last, our favorite scene is Robin Hood’s efforts scene. We could know that efforts make our dream come true all the time. So we always should do something as long as we can. Also we should cherish our friends as Robin Hood cherishes his friends, a girlfriend, and poor people. Friends will help us when we are in troubles. Friends are the most important thing in the world we thought. In conclusion, this movie has some kinds, so we can take each different view. The Disney version is a shorter than the 1991 version, but it is easy to understand. Also, there is powerful fighting scene in the 1991 version, and it is worth seeing. If you have never seen these versions, please see them.
