Dear Universal Producer,

Today, producers of movies are trying to figure out what goes best with the scene, or part, but some movies in the past should be remade because of the different styles of acting and emotions. Even though people forgot about the movie Island of the Blue Dolphins, I think this movie should be remade by Universal Studios.

One of my main concerns for the movie was that the characters acted overly dramatic and they acted so much different from today’s acting. Back in 1964, actors and actresses were suppose to act in a certain way, but today we our actors and actresses act more modern and better than we ever did before. The main character Karana, should have been presented her lines more serious and emotion. Also many people love movies about true things that actually happened and was about a true event. In conclusion, I think that changing the way people acted will make the movie great.

One major thing that would benefit this movie is having special effects. They should of made this movie more realistic, like adding more interest. They also should have made the characters ageing, like Karana she was on the island for twenty years and still looked the same since she was 12. Lastly, they should add more effects on the characters like the changing of the weight in Karana she would of lost a couple of pound surviving by herself. Although you may think this would help the characters, I think this whole movie would get a better rating and make the movie have more action.

The last major problem I had with the movie was the deleted scenes, and the poor action. In Chapter 27, there were natural disasters; on page 161, for example, Karana describes the waves during the tsunami as “two giants crashing against each other.” In the movie there were no action, and no natural disasters. When it came to Ramo’s death and Rontu's fight with the dogs, there was no blood witch there was suppose to be. Which really made the rating, and the interest go down. Lastly, the book had so much details but in the movie there was a few. What happen to the action and lots of detail?

Others like old movies, and may not think a renewed movies is not necessary, but this movie overall wasn’t the best movie I have ever scene. I think the problems and concerns will make a huge impact on the movie if the were fixed. The movie would be so much better with amazing acting and phenomenal interesting scenes. Altogether many people would love this movie and recommend it to other viewers, and it would be a good 50th anniversary to look back at for this movie.

Your friend, Kelly G.
