There are many children's films based on tales and stories of folklore in different countries, we all know the movie “The Jungle Book” by Disney dating from 1967, this film brought to the big screen a version of the stories written by Rudyard Kipling, a British writer, these stories take place in the jungle of India, they deal with themes such as friendship, loyalty and survival.

If we remember in the Disney movie, which is one of my favorites, we see captured to perfection the themes of friendship, loyalty and survival, after this version have emerged if I'm not mistaken a couple more, but recently I was encouraged to see a version on the streaming platform Netflix especially by the actors who participated to give life to some of his characters.

Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle

As it is known this movie is about the life of a human child who is left in the jungle and is adopted by a pack of wolves, but this story seeks to be a little more raw, at the beginning it presents a group of Hindus in the middle of the jungle fleeing from a Tiger among them a woman carrying a baby in her arms.

After the massacre, we see a panther who finds the baby and takes him to the wolves' den trying to save him from Shere Khan, a ferocious tiger, whom few can face, among them the wolf pack because of their numbers and thanks to the leadership of their alpha.

As the years go by, Mowgli grows up and the wolves, Bagheera and Baloo intervene in his upbringing, obviously because he is different there are some things he cannot do like his wolf brothers and he is the object of ridicule as well as his friend Bhoot, a small albino wolf who is also rejected because he is small and white.

Actually, the plot is not very far from what we know, except for some things that show us how hard it can be to survive in the jungle and how man can be cruel to nature and animals, besides reminding us how determination and friendship can be what makes the difference.

Now, what do I like about this movie, the first thing is that its mix between human actors and 3D technology to represent the animals, plus we see animals with flaws and stories for example Bagheera had lived in captivity and had marks to show it, Shere Khan is a Bengal tiger who has a broken leg, but that does not stop him from being a fierce hunter of men, which is why they are looking for him, plus he has the help of a henchman.

I also like the idea of a python that does not want to devour Mowgli, here she has a mystical role, being a seer and believing that this boy will make a difference in the jungle looking for the balance between man and animals, knowing or belonging to both worlds. In short, it is a closer version of what the real world was or is, especially in India when it was occupied by the British and animals were hunted indiscriminately.

What I loved about this movie is that not only do we see a Mowgli determined to stay in the jungle because that is what he knows, we see a boy who after getting to know humans, both their good parts, such as kindness and solidarity, knows the bad parts, such as alcoholism, selfishness and poaching house.

The actors chosen to give their voices and movements to the characters are excellent among them we have: Andy Serkis as Baloo, Benedict Cumberbatch as Shere Khan, Christian Bale as Bagheera, Cate Blanchett as Kaa, Tom Hollander as Tabaqui, Peter Mullan as Akela, Naomie Harris as Nisha, Eddie Marsan as Vihaan, Jack Reynor as Brother Wolf, now among the actors filmed in real images are: Rohan Chand as Mowgli, Matthew Rhys as John Lockwood, Freida Pinto as Messua.

In summary, Mowgli: The Legend of the Jungle, is a raw option that shows how the world is, but also how believing in yourself, true friendship, loyalty, among others, can make the difference, I give it a 7 out of 10, the critics were not as good as me, but I really liked this movie, mainly as I already mentioned for giving a more raw version and for the actors who intervene to give life to some of its characters.

Español

Existen muchas películas infantiles basadas en cuentos e historias del folclore en diferentes países, todo conocemos la película “El libro de la selva” de Disney que data de 1967, esta película llevo a la gran pantalla una versión los relatos escritos por Rudyard Kipling un escritor británico, estos relatos se desarrollan en la jungla de India, en ellos se trata temas como la amistad, la lealtad y la supervivencia.

Si recordamos en la película de Disney, la cual es se una de mis favoritas, vemos plasmados a la perfección los temas relativos a la amistad, la lealtad y la supervivencia, luego de esta versión han surgid si no me equivoco una par más, pero hace poco me anime a ver una versión en la plataforma streming Netflix especialmente por los actores que participaron para darle vida a algunos de sus personajes.

Mowgli: La leyenda de la selva

Como es conocido esta película versa sobre la vida de un niño humano que quedo en la selva y es adoptado por una manada de lobos, pero esta historia busca ser un poco más cruda, al iniciar nos presenta un grupo de hindúes en medio de la selva huyendo de un Tigre entre ellos una mujer que lleva un bebe en brazos.

Luego de la masacre, vemos a una pantera que encuentra a este bebe y lo lleva al cubil de los lobos intentando salvarlo de Shere Khan un feroz tigre, al que pocos pueden enfrentar, entre ellos la manada de lobos por su número y gracias al liderazgo de su alfa.

Al pasar los años Mowgli va creciendo y en su crianza intervienen tanto los lobos como Bagheera y Baloo, obviamente por ser diferente hay algunas cosas que no puede hacer como sus hermanos lobos y es objeto de burlas al igual que su amigo Bhoot un pequeño lobo albino que por ser pequeño y blanco también es rechazado.

En realidad, la trama no sé leja mucho de lo que conocemos, excepto por algunas cosas que nos muestran lo dura que puede ser la supervivencia en la selva y como el hombre puede ser cruel con la naturaleza y los animales, además de recordarnos como la determinación y la amistad pueden ser lo que hagan la diferencia.

Ahora, ¿qué gusta de esta película?, lo primero es que su mezcla entre actores humanos y la tecnología 3D para representar a los animales, además vemos animales con defectos e historias por ejemplo Bagheera había vivido en cautiverio y tenía marcas para mostrarlo, Shere Khan es un tigre de bengala que tiene una pata rota, pero eso no le impide ser un feroz cazador de hombres, motivo por el que le buscan, además de contar con la ayuda de un secuaz.

También me gusta la idea de una pitón que no desea devorar a Mowgli, aquí posee un papel místico, al ser una vidente y creer que este niño hará la diferencia en la selva buscando el equilibrio entre el hombre y los animales, al conocer o pertenecer a ambos mundos. En pocas palabras, es una versión más cercana a lo que era o es el mundo real, sobre todo en la India cuando estuvo ocupada por los británicos y los animales eran cazados indiscriminadamente.

Lo que ame de esta película es que no solo vemos a un Mowgli empeñado en quedarse en la selva porque es lo que conoce, vemos a un niño que luego de conocer a los humanos, tanto a sus partes buenas, como la amabilidad y la solidaridad, conoce las partes malas, como el alcoholismo, el egoísmo y la casa furtiva.

Los actores elegidos para dar sus voces y movimientos a los personajes son excelentes entre ellos tenemos a: Andy Serkis como Baloo, Benedict Cumberbatch como Shere Khan, Christian Bale como Bagheera, Cate Blanchett como Kaa, Tom Hollander como Tabaqui, Peter Mullan como Akela, Naomie Harris como Nisha, Eddie Marsan como Vihaan, Jack Reynor como Hermano Lobo, ahora entre los actores filmados en imágenes reales están: Rohan Chand como Mowgli, Matthew Rhys como John Lockwood, Freida Pinto como Messua.

En resumen, Mowgli: La leyenda de la selva, es una opción cruda que muestra como es el mundo, pero también como el creer en ti mismo, la verdadera amistad, la lealtad, entre otros, pueden hacer la diferencia, yo le doy un 7 de 10, la crítica no fue tan buena como yo, pero a mí me gusto mucho esta película, principalmente como ya mencione por dar una versión más cruda y por los actores que intervienen para darle vida a algunos de sus personajes.

›Mowgli: Disney and a perfect live action (ENG - ITA)@serialfiller2240d

We didn't realize it, but for very few years the world of animation has been changing and with it the world of cinema.

The revolution is called live action and soon we will be overwhelmed by animated films that will mix pure animation with the most sophisticated technologies creating cartoons that a bit like "Who framed Roger Rabbit?" and "Space Jam" will see actors in the flesh moving in animated landscapes within which they will talk, they will move together with characters totally reconstructed on the computer without the viewer noticing.

A first successful example of this new wave was the revival of a great classic like "Mowgli".

Andy Serkis has signed a spectacular film that starting from the story we all know has managed to recreate a world that mixed divine and frightening, the wildest nature to the most complex technological artifice.

Mowgli - The son of the Jungle is just the appetizer of what we will see in 2019 with the re-propositions of Dumbo and the Lion King.

Little to say about the story, known to all.

Much to say about how it was told.

Balu and Bagheera were breathtaking.

The funny, chubby little bear has become a huge, dirty, wise animal to learn from. The fierce panther a tender but fearful animal to take refuge from.

Little Mowgli grows up with them and thanks to them he becomes a man through physical and emotional difficulties that will lead him to fight for the herd and not for a humanity to which he belongs as a species but to which he does not aspire once the potential brutality is known.

The great classic is mixed with a more cynical and ruthless vision of the human race, ready to sweep away forests and beauty in order to have one more square meter within which to move.

A fierce metaphor for what we are and what we are becoming more and more.

The digital revolution continues and with Mowgli takes another step towards ever-greater masterpieces.

Non ce ne siamo accorti ma da pochissimi anni il mondo dell'animazione sta cambiando e con lui anche il mondo del cinema.

La rivoluzione si chiama live action e ben presto verremo sommersi da film di animazione che mescoleranno la pura animazione alle tecnologie più sofisticate creando dei cartoni animati che un po come in "Chi ha incastrato Roger Rabbit?" e "Space Jam" vedrenno attori in carne ed ossa muoversi in paesaggi animati all'interno dei quali parleranno, si muoveranno insieme a personaggi totalmente ricostruiti al computer senza che lo spettatore se ne accorga.

Un primo esempio riuscitissimo di questa nuova ondata è stata la riproposizione di un grande classico come "Mowgli".

Andy Serkis ha firmato un film spettacolare che partendo dal racconto che tutti conosciamo è riuscito a ricreare un mondo che mescolava divino a pauroso, la natura più selvaggia all'artificio tecnologico più complesso.

Mowgli - Il figlio della Jungla è solo l'antipasto di quello che nel 2019 vedremo con le riproposizioni di Dumbo ed il re leone.

Poco da dire sulla storia, nota a tutti.

Molto da dire su come essa sia stata raccontata.

Balu e Bagheera toglievano il fiato.

L'orsetto buffo e pacioccoso è diventato un enorme, sporco e saggio animalone da cui imparare. La feroce pantera un tenero ma pauroso animale da cui rifugiarsi.

Il piccolo Mowgli cresce con loro e grazie a loro diventa uomo attraversando difficoltà fisiche ed emotive che lo porteranno a battersi per il branco e non per un'umanità a cui appartiene come specie ma a cui non ambisce una volta conosciutane la potenziale brutalità.

Il grande classico si mescola con una visione più cinica e spietata della razza umana, pronta a spazzare via foreste e bellezza pur di avere un metro quadro in più all'interno del quale muoversi.

Una feroce metafora su quello che siamo e che stiamo diventando sempre più.

La rivoluzione digitale continua e con Mowgli muove un ulteriore passo verso capolavori sempre più grandiosi.

›Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle (film): Get's ripped by critics but i liked it@gooddream2446d
This massive budget Warner Bros. film was another huge film that somehow managed to pass me by unnoticed. I think a big part of this was because the film wasn't released in very many theaters and was meant to be a Netflix exclusive. Most professional critics didn't care for it but whatever man, I found it entertaining.

source

I don't know if you can read the small script on the above picture but there are some heavy hitters doing voice-over work on this project including Christian Bale and Benedict Cumberbatch. It's funny because I thought i recognized some voices throughout the film but couldn't quite put my finger on it. Now that I've seen the credits, it seems so obvious.

As you would expect from a film featuring talking animals, a great deal of the movie depends on CGI since we aren't exactly going to put a baby in the middle of a bunch of wild animals.. well, that is unless you are as nuts as the people that made the movie Roar, who likely did precisely that.

The movie has a striking resemblance to Jungle Book, which had been released just a bit prior to this one. The films would have likely been released in the same season if it weren't for the fact that Mowgli had some pretty bad problems with delays. The name of this film actually originally was Jungle Book: Origins but that was scrapped for some reason or another. One of the explanations I have heard was that this film was going to be significantly darker than Jungle Book and either Disney or Warner Bros thought it would be a better idea to not affiliate the two - this film is definitely darker and there are no musical numbers either (thank goodness.)

The CGI is absolutely stunning throughout the film. It looks real! At no point in time did I feel that any of it looked even remotely fake, and that includes the scenes that had human actors involved in the sequences.

I also take my hat off to Rohan Chand, who is the actor that plays Mowgli. Normally, i really don't like child actors but he pulled it off and at no point did i want to throw things at him due to bad acting.

I think a lot of the negative criticism was off target as the primary complaint you hear is that the film was too dark for children (and this is a very real thing, i don't think that kids should watch this movie.) Also, a lot of adults might find it too tame and therefore it kind of doesn't have a true audience. I applaud attempting things like this and you can't really get on director Andy Serkis' case to suggest that he is duping kids into being exposed to violence. He did advise parents to not watch this film with their kids after-all.

There is a tremendous amount of animal violence and even a bit of murder which I kind of enjoy since Disney-oriented films of this sort are normally a bit too tame for my liking. I feel as though this is a more accurate representation of what might actually happen among the members of the animal kingdom. There are some quite brutal and bloody encounters along the ride as well. It certainly isn't a kids film and perhaps that is the reason why I feel the opposite way that the professionals do when comparing this to Jungle Book - which was always going to happen.

I thought it was fun and visually appealing. I wouldn't go and put it on a "must watch" list or anything but it was one of the better films I have seen in a while. It is also very easy to follow, as you might have expected.

My Rating?

›Mowgli: The Legend of the Jungle review@unbiasedwriter2755d
A few days ago, Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle was released on Netflix worldwide. This is a Netflix original production directed by Andy Serkis, and it has got to be one of the best original Netflix productions ever.

If you have followed my blogs and writings for a while, you probably know that I am not a big fan of Netflix original productions, and the same is true about Amazon original productions and so. But, the older I get, the harder it is to stick up with those feelings. How come? The original content from HBO, Amazon, and Netflix is getting better and better, and with Mowgli: The Legend of the Jungle, I just cannot say that I do not like the original Netflix movies anymore!

Just imagine reading about a movie, and you discover that Cate Blanchett, Christian Bale, and Benedict Cumberbatch give the voices to the main characters. It sounds great, doesn't it? It could just as well have been a Disney movie that would make lots of money in the cinema. But, instead - it is Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, a movie you can now watch "for free" online at once, as it is included in your Netflix subscription!

This is quality
I am not the biggest fan of animals that can speak in real movies (in which you see real people). But, as I watched Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, I just couldn't help but smile as the animals started to speak. They all had this amazing British accent to their English, and I couldn't help but enjoy it. Andy Serkis, the director of the movie, also is the person giving the voice to Baloo, and he is fantastic. In the same way, I can say that the Cate Blanchett, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Christian Bale also do great jobs with their own characters.
The story of the movie is quite simple. Mowgli is left behind in the jungle after Shere Khan killed his parents. Now Shere Khan is longing to taste the blood of Mowgli as well, but he is taken under protection by the wolves. But, he soon discovers that he isn't like the other wolves, and he starts to wonder what kind of creature he really is. He is tempted to visit the humans, but at the same time, he feels like he should be in the jungle. It is also important for him to stay safe, especially as Shere Khan is returning to those parts of the jungle to finally grab a bite of Mowgli.

A great movie for the families
I could easily imagine this as a movie that would make it to the top 50 list of highest grossing movies this year (if it was shown in cinemas). But, instead, we can watch it directly on Netflix. It is a movie perfect for families with teenagers, and I also believe that lots of people who are older will greatly enjoy the movie.
It didn't become a new favorite movie of mine, but I am still very happy to see such a movie coming straight to Netflix. I looked just as much forward to this as I do to Aquaman (a movie I want to watch in the cinema very soon), and that is quite cool!

I would also like to mention that the images of the movie are wonderful to watch. Sometimes you can watch and recognize a cheaper production at once as you watch a movie, but that can not be said about Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle. Here you can smell money and quality from the first pixel unto the last, and that is something I am really excited about as well!

Have you seen Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle? I would love to hear your thoughts about the movie!
