   Hi, I'm glad to be in this new Contest dealing with a topic I've seen a lot hehe especially with pirates of the caribbean, but this time I want to talk about the movie Hook starring the author may he rest in peace Robin Williams as Peter Pan and actor Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook.

   It is a film based on lost children and pirates who steal and are responsible for taking these children, in the case deferred to the common thing that makes a pirate who is sailing, stealing, taking and well create fights with other ships, here we see pirates who are focused on establishing order in where they live and to be the ones who command above all, especially in front of some children who bring them problems because in the world where they are they do not age but these lost children mess with them a lot especially Peter Pan, their leader, which for Captain Hook is a chaos and wants to deal with him as well as his measures the crocodile that chases him, so I find it funny and different because a pirate should be terrifying or at least evil and we see in this movie that is not quite the case.

   In the case of the story we see a confused pirate, wanting to catch his rival who would be Peter Pan, which would make him the villain of the story, but we also see him as the victim, the one pursued by a crocodile that wants to eat him or by the frustration of not being able to move forward and having to deal with children who confront him at certain times, although the way he behaves is not the right way and therefore his plans are always ended badly because despite not being a totally bad pirate, the things he does are not the right ones especially for children who are simply afraid of growing up and took refuge in Neverland.

   The pirate stories are interesting, although they are not easy, however, the idea of thinking of being a pirate makes it interesting, I would only accommodate certain details, regarding personal hygiene and drinking like a drunkard, but otherwise it would be interesting to live that world on the high seas and see the wonders that the maritime world brings to us, or to discover a new world in those unknown lands.

   Hola, me da gusto estar en este nuevo Concurso tratándose de un tema que he visto mucho jeje sobre todo con piratas del caribe, pero en esta ocasión quiero hablar de la película Hook protagonizada por el autor que en paz descanse Robín Williams como Peter Pan y el actor Dustin Hoffman como capitán Garfio.

   Es una película que basada en niños perdidos y piratas que roban y se encargan de llevarse estos niños, en el caso diferido a lo común que hace un pirata que es navegar, robar, tomar y bueno crear peleas con otros barcos, acá vemos unos piratas que están enfocados en establecer un orden en donde viven y en ser los que manden ante todo, sobre todo en frente de unos niños que les traen problemas ya que en el mundo donde se encuentran no envejecen pero estos niños perdidos se meten mucho con ellos sobre todo Peter Pan, su líder, lo cual para el capitán Garfio es un caos y quiere lidiar con él así como su mide al cocodrilo que lo persigue, por lo que me parece gracioso y diferente ya que un pirata debería ser terrorífico o al menos malvado y vemos en esta película que no es del todo el caso.

   En el caso de la historia vemos a un pirata confundido, con ganas de atrapar a su rival que sería Peter Pan, lo cual lo haría el villano de la historia, pero también lo vemos como la víctima, el perseguido por un cocodrilo que se lo quiere comer o por la frustración de no poder avanzar y tener que lidiar con niños que lo enfrentan en ciertos momentos, aunque en la manera en que se comporta no es la adecuada y por ello sus planes siempre se ven acabados de mal manera ya que a pesar de no ser totalmente un pirata malo, las cosas que hace no son las correctas sobre todo para niños que simplemente tienen miedo de crecer y se refugiaron en el país de Nunca Jamás.

   Las historias de piratas son interesantes, aunque por lo que se ve no son fáciles, sin embargo, la idea de pensar ser un pirata lo hace interesante solo acomodaría ciertos detalles, con respecto al aseo personal y al beber como unos borrachos cochinos jeje, pero de lo demás si sería interesante vivir ese mundo en alta mar y ver las maravillas que se trae el mundo marítimo para nosotros, o el descubrir un mundo nuevo en esas tierras desconocidas.

2. ›Film Review: Hook (1991)@drax1335d

   

   When you have filmography as impressive as Steven Spielberg does, you can allow yourself to have couple of major failures in it and still have your excellent reputation intact. You can survive even such fiascos that are as hated by your fans as your biggest hits are loved. In case of Spielberg this happened with his 1991 fantasy adventure Hook.

   The film is based on the Peter Pan stories by British author J. M. Barrie. The protagonist, played by Robin Williams, is Peter Banning, San Francisco corporate lawyer whose dedication to the work made him neglect his wife Moira (played by Catherine Goodall) and two children – son Jack (played by Charlie Korsmo) and daughter Maggie (played by Amber Scott). He nevertheless catches time to bring his family to London where he is to attend ceremony honouring Moira’s grandmother Wendy Darling (played by Maggie Smith) and her charitable work with children. During the stay in London his children mysteriously disappear and Grandma Wendy, much to his surprise, tells him that he is actually Peter Pan and the children were abducted by his pirate arch-enemy Captain Hook (played by Dustin Hoffman). Peter doesn’t believe her, but one night he gets visited by a little fairy named Tinker Bell (played by Julia Roberts) and taken to Neverland, magical place where he would have to reconnect with Lost Boys, his old friends who, unlike him, never grew up. When he accepts Hook’s challenge to fight for his children, he is faced with serious problems, because he forgot everything about his past life in Neverland, including ability to fly.

   Spielberg tried to make his own Peter Pan story for many years, and this idea, at least on paper, made perfect sense. Spielberg has already established himself as master of Hollywood’s family-friendly entertainment and his best films contained adventure and sense of wonder which is associated with childhood. Having great and versatile comedian like Robin Williams in Peter Pan’s role was also good idea, because few Hollywood actors at the time could play adult person trying to rediscover his inner child so effectively. Despite promising concept and talents behinds and in front of camera, Hook turned into failure. While Spielberg’s name on poster and effective advertising campaign brought great success at the box office, critics, until that time usually favourable to Spielberg, turned quite negative and the subsequent years showed that Hook never managed to build cult or develop nostalgic feelings among its first-time audiences like Spielberg’s best hits from 1970s or 1980s.

   The reason for that can be traced to complicated script by Jim V. Hart and Malia Scotch Marmo, based on the simple idea of making Peter Pan grow up. Spielberg probably found a little bit of himself in Peter Banning’s character – a Hollywood’s boy wonder who had a blast producing exciting adventure films only to develop into middle-aged corporate overlord of American cinema who had or was in process of losing his childhood-like sense of wonder. Script, however, tried to explore this theme through serious retconning of Barrie’s original material. Hook, which resurrects Captain Hook and gives new and complicated family backstory to Pete Pan, at times looks less like a sequel and more like a weird fan fiction. Yet, most of those problems could have been solved if Spielberg had the same creative magic at his disposal as before.

   This didn’t happen. Spielberg provides adequate but mostly uninspired direction that too often relies too much on outrageous art direction and huge studio set that looks underwhelming despite 70 million US$ of budget. Spielberg loses a sense of pace – the audience would have to wait almost an hour before being introduced to the title character of Hook, and the result is typically bloated Hollywood blockbuster with running time of almost two and half hours, which would be quite demanding for the youngest audience Hook was partially intended for. Spielberg also allows some details in character’s language that could be interpreted as not exactly family-friendly. John Williams, Spielberg’s old associate responsible for many of his past triumphs, delivers adequate but strangely forgettable score.

   Another issue of the film is in the cast. While Robin Williams (who would later become Spielberg’s life long friend on the set) is very good, just as Dustin Hoffman who has great fun despite having face buried under heavy makeup, Hook is almost destroyed by terrible miscasting of Tinker Bell. She, brought to the project more because of its star status than actual talent, is not convincing as fairy, especially with American accent that stands out too much with the rest of cast. To make things worse, she and Spielberg weren’t getting along at the set, which was often attributed to Roberts’ poor emotional state over her messy private life. Spielberg, by his own admission, also had trouble handling large number of child actors on the set, although some, like those playing Peter’s children and Dante Basco, who plays Peter’s Lost Boy rival Rufio, did good job. Veterans like Maggie Smith and Bob Hoskins, who was wonderful in the role of Hook’s boatswain Smee, improved general impression, but not as much as needed for Hook not to be considered as failure. Many year later Spielberg himself agreed with such verdict, proving that truly great film makers are those willing to admit they can be wrong.

   RATING: 4/10 (+)

This story is adapted to the 1911 written by J. M. Barrie entitled Peter Pan and Wendy, which has almost the story of a man must return to the world of never ever to rescue his children.

   Analysis

   This is a movie of great fatansia, it is where an adult man travels to a world that is far from adults and you find lost children and some pirates, the great legendary Peter Pan who after seeing that life forgotten after falling in love with his wife and having his children, I forget who he was as a child. This movie leaves us teaching.

   • Fantasy: Fantasy is a part that is always found more in children than in adults, when we have grown up we fill our lives with worries, work, sometimes from so much work we put aside the family. While children dream about these fantasy stories. This part is reflected when Peter, being an adult, forgets that children he imagined, dreamed and even flew and lived in the land of never.

   • Importance of children: We see how Peter Pan to fly his idea Happy was when I remember the birth of their children, children are the most important of parents, it is who gives us the motor of happiness.

   • We must have time for work and children: We saw how at the end of the movie Peter throws his phone out the window, putting his family and children principal. We must have time divided for both.

   • Share the important moments with your children: We see how the Son of Peter Pan felt pain because his father was not in the game of Baseball, that made Captain Garfied take advantage of that feeling.

   • Do not forget the child within us: Being an adult we forget our childhood, because we do not fill with work concerns, we must continue and enjoy that child in us. , Url Movie: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/879-hook Critic:AAA
