A blog created in English literature.

This article is dedicated to the concept of the blog in english. Indeed, I liked making this blog very much and I think that it helped me to correct my mistakes in English (even if there is still a lot of work !).

Thanks for this adventure, miss !

The Hunchback of Notre Dame

Today, I will talk about a animated-feature of my childhood, The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

It's an American animated musical drama-romance film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation. The film is based on Victor Hugo's novel of the same name. This movie focuses on Quasimodo, the deformed bell-ringer of Notre Dame and who wants to be accepted in society.

The main characters are :

  This movie is very important for me. Indeed, when I was little, I watched it all the time, and often on Mondays with my Dad. I had too the Esmeralda Barbie dolls : 

 

Then, I saw the musical The Hunchback of Notre Dame, in 2000. Popular songs from the show, were Belle and Le temps des cathédrales. The cast (in France) was consisted of Helene Segara (Esmeralda), Garou (Quasimodo), Daniel Lavoie (Frollo) and Patrick Fiori (Phoebus).

The Victor Hugo's novel inspired many movies, musicals... because the story is very important. She learns us that not trust appearances. For example, Quasimodo isn't beautiful physically, but he is a very an extraordinary person. This story shows us also that the wickedness can hurt more than the violence.

A word to the wise is enough (à bon entendeur... ?)

Hansel and Gretel

Hansel and Gretel is a tale written by the Grimm Brothers and published in 1812.
This tale focuses on a brother (Hansel) and a sister (Gretel). Lost by their parents in the forest, the two children discover a house made of cakes and sweets. Inside, there is cannibalistic witch who kidnaps them.
But Gretel saves her life and her brother by pushing the witch into the oven. They return with their parents.

In 2013, this tale was adapted.
Indeed, this movie co-written and directed by Norwegian filmmaker Tommy Wirkola is based on the Grimm Brothers's tale and tells the activity of the children who have become adults, 15 years later. They are famous witch hunters who travel the small villages in search of devilish witches. During the movie, they look for reported missing children, kidnapped by witches. I was going to tell you the end but I leave you the surprise, given that it's very interesting ! Ahah

My personal opinion :
I liked this adaptation very much ! Indeed, this movie is a mixture between action, love and humor. The special effects were surprising and the witches were very well represented.
To sum up, it's a very good movie !
