Dear Producer:

 

In 1964,Universal Pictures came out with Island of the Blue Dolphins. I have recently read the book and seen the movie. I found many differences throughout the movie. I understand that this movie was made without the technology we have today, so I think it would be reasonable to remake the movie due to the amount of technology we have now I recomend you read the book and add in the important scenes that weren't in the first edition.

 

One reason I think the movie should be remade is because the original version left out some important scenes. One of the most exciting action scenes was when the devilfish, which appears to be an octopus, fights Karana, the protagonist, and takes her dog and nearly drowns him. Another is when a tsunami comes and crashes on the Island of the Blue Dolphins, the island that Karana lives on. The last important scene was when Karana went to find a land to the east where the people that left the island had sailed. The scenes should be included in the remake, should you chose to make it.

 

I noticed that the movie lacked special effects. One of the effects needed was fake blood. I also noticed that there were no wounds on the injured men in the fight with the Aleuts. The jump that Karana performed was actually very high in the book, but was extremely short in the movie. Special effects will be needed in the remake.

 

Another reason for a remake is that they had the wrong music at the wrong time. I found the music to be too suspenseful. Along with that, the sound effects were off. For example, the cannon fire noise came too early. This should be looked at and fixed.

 

I feel that another version is necessary, because the original had differences from the book. With the technology we have today, we have the opportunity to make a better movie. The special and sound effects we have, can take this movie to a whole other level. I feel a new movie is a good idea. Even though you would need to find a new cast, the movie is worth remaking to entertain the current public.

 

Sincerely,

Brian M.
