Journal 6: Jumanji


          
 
           One of my favorite movies is Jumanji; it first came out in 1995. It was the year when I could smell and feel the world’s circumstance. I had grown up with this movie ever since first grade, so I think it’s why Jumanji is one of my favorite movies. I call this a really good movie because this fits all different ages that families would enjoy the adventure Alan has.

First let me introduce the main characters in Jumanji. Alan Parrish (Robin Williams), Sarah Whittle (Bonnie Hunt), Judy Shepherd (Kristen Dunst), and Peter Shepherd (Bradley Pierce). One of my favorite scenes in the movie is when Alan Parrish got back to the present time world wearing jungle leaves, when Peter rolled doubles. During Peter’s double roll, there was a visitor; a lion came out from the broad game going to attack Judy and Peter. In the meantime Alan was there to protect the kids from the lion. After Alan keep the lion out from attacking. Alan found them both hiding in the closet, horizontal along the shelf.      

In this movie I would respond more to the acting, narrative, and editing from the director Joe Johnston. The acting, narrative, and editing matter to me because, without these things in the movie, it won’t turn out to be one of my fantasy family favorite movie. The part to point this is when bunch of herd came out from the broad game running through the house and the scream of fear in the faces of four main characters. This is a have to see movie if you haven’t seen already.
