A Tale Put Into Reels: A Red Riding Hood Movie Review


PreviousContentsNext

Thank author of this post/comment

The story “The Little Red Riding Hood” is familiar fairytale. Almost every child knows this tale. It was a universal story to be told by our moms and dads before their child gets a night's rest. It told us the story not to talk to strangers because you could never do what they can do to you (wolf). It actually scared the children because the antagonist in this tale is also the same antagonist of another fairytale entitled "The Three Little Pigs", which is the wolf. A wolf who pretended to be the young girl’s grandmother also blew the two pig's houses down. The tale is really for kids but it took a 180 degree turn when it was put into reels.

Red Riding Hood was shown in cinemas March of the current year. This film was lead by Amanda Seyfried playing the role of Valerie, also known as the red riding hood. The film was directed by Catherine Hardwicke who was also the director of the movie Twilight. Compared to the tale which says that the main character is a little girl, the movie says otherwise. She is a grown-up in the movie. She had a love interest. A common story plot of, you love someone then he loves you too, but your parents want you to marry another man because of money. That’s the reason why she was torn between Peter (Shiloh Fernandez) the one she loves, and Henry (Max Irons) the one she was supposed to marry.

The movie is not bad nor superb either. It is just mediocre. What is good about the film is that the film will keep you guessing until the last fifteen minutes of the film. The film makes it audience guess the identity of the person who becomes the wolf in the story. Chances are the predictions you made are completely erroneous, and the answer will finally be revealed at the end of the film. The story and visual effects are on a mediocre level as well. The film isn't really for the kids, but rather to the same teenage market of Twilight as it features some steamy romance scenes between Valerie and Peter. It is not the Little Red Riding Hood that your father tells you as he tucks you away in bed at night, this film version is much more twisted and mature.

Beauty still is in the eye of the beholder, so does this film lies in the eye of the viewer. Yes, the movie has its own good points but it is overshadowed by its weak points. But in the end, it is the viewers who will still decide.
