I was surfing the tv last night during prime time and not a thing caught my interest... until the animated Disney version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."
I think I mentioned when I was reading this book about two months ago that I am kind of intrigued as to how this kind of story will be made into a movie by Disney Pictures. And I was glad that I saw it yesterday. So, I tuned in and started to watch. The part that I came upon was when Quasimodo and Esmeralda were talking and later on, Quasimodo took Esmeralda to a 'trip' around Notre Dame. More later, one of the men [didn't know who] was almost begging Quasimodo to let him down.
Quasimodo and Esmeralda talking and taking a trip around Paris? How can they talk in the first place? How can Quasimodo understand Esmeralda?
As I read through the last parts of the story in the book, the thought of this being a Disney movie always come upon me. How can you make an ending to such a story? And how can you turn it into an animated movie having such a plot, such an ending?
I didn't finish the movie. All because I know that it would be totally different from the original story. All I know is that they tried to circle the story around the goodness of Quasimodo; whitewashing everything to make it look good on the eyes of child; on the eyes of those who haven't read the story. But if they wanted something to bank on the goodness of Quasimodo, I think they could come up with someone else in the likeness of Quasimodo with their army of artistic imaginative people.
Goodness!
