Review on movie Robinson Crusoe

                       On 22 Sep, we have watched the film Robinson Crusoe is novel written by Daniel Defoe. The full title of the novel is The life and surprising adventure of Robinson Crusoe. This is a adventure  story of Robinson Crusoe .We can say that the movie is quite faithful to the novel because we find that before life of Crusoe and his first two voyages are not shown in the movie. We can find that film was no so longer so that many scenes were not covered by film. In novel we find I think 2-3 sea voyages while in film we can see only last voyage through that Crusoe reaches at the island. In novel there is description about Robinson's father's wish that he develop his career in law. But in movie we can't find any information about his family. When Crusoe reached island he was alone though he didn't lose his hope and he try to survive on island and spent twenty eight years of his life in island.



When film starts we see that it starts with sea voyage of Crusoe and he becomes victims of storm during his voyage. He was alone on island .He spends 28 years of his life on this island. When on island at sea - shore he finds footprint of human being, he becomes afraid and matches it with his footprint. On island he builds a Hut for his residence and gather some essential things from ships. He has pet animals like dog and cat as like his family members. 

Oneday Crusoe saves a boy. He meets him on Friday. He names him Friday. Crusoe teaches him English and western customs and turns Friday into a servant. Crusoe does not trust him at first, believing Friday to also be a cannibal who would kill him if given the chance. He builds a door to the cave in which he takes to sleeping. When Friday enters without permission late one night to get an axe , Crusoe puts leg irons on him. The next day, however, Crusoe relents and takes them off. Then he comes to trust on Friday. 

In this movie we find Master- slave  relationship. We find Crusoe as master and Friday as slave. Crusoe's behaviour was cruel with Friday. He talks with Friday in higher  tone as like his boss or master. He first teaches him "Master" word. And during we can't see any female character. Only onetime when Friday wear a woman dress that time he remember his wife. And Crusoe commanded him that remove it. 

After 28 years, Friday saves crusoe's life from a cannibal sneaking up behind him. Then Robinson Crusoe leaves for home with Friday , having 28 years. So, we can say that this movie is about voyage and adventure of Crusoe. 





Thank you ...............
