Robin Hood 2010
Released on the 12th of May.
The Robin Hood film is an adaptation of the very old story called Robin Hood. The story has been made into film 70 times, starting from 1908. Due to its idea is from the story which is British I would agree in believing this as being British subject matter.
In the plot there are the names and places of when & where the film takes place. In the first line it states it takes place in the, 12 century in England. It later goes into more detail by stating the Robin goes to Nottingham, also in the last paragraph it says the climax of the film starts on the south coast of England.
In the entire main cast there is only one English person.
Russell Crowe – New Zealand
Cate Btanchett – Australia
Max von Sydow – Swedish
Mark Strong – England
Oscar Isaac – Mexico
Danny Huston – Italy
The Director of the film, Ridley Scoot, was born in England almost making this film English. He is mostly known for being a producer, but has recently gone into directing such films as the A-Team, Body of Lies and Hannibal.
The genre of the film is Action, Adventure and Drama.
The production of the films are Universal Pictures that’s headquarters are in California, America. It was partnered with Imagine Entertainment, which did not tell of it location. As Mr Stiles said for it to be a english film it’s has to be an English production company.
The company that distributed the film was the universal pictures. The way that they advertised the film was from trailers, website, word of mouth and the actors going on to talk shows.

Hugh Jackman - Australian
Kate Winsled - England
Ian Mckellen - England

Only two of the main stars of the cast are not English, still an improvement on Robin Hood.
There were two directors of this film, David Bowers was one of them and this was his first direction. The other was Sam Fell who has more experience in directing with doing the film The Tales of Despereaux. Also both directors were born in England.
The genre of the film is adventure and comedy.
The production company’s are Dreamworks Animation located in California and Aardman animations are located in England. However even with one of the company’s being from England doesn’t make it English.
The distorter for the film was Paramount Pictures which is located in America. I asume the way that they advertised the film was through trailers, talk shows and also by the opening day i.e. Red carpet.
Well done, Richard.
ReplyDeleteCome to a conclusion as to why you think it is British or not. What 'values' and culture does the film feature and are they 'British'?
