Dear Producer,

My sixth grade class just finished reading the novel Island of the Blue dolphins which is about a girl named Karana that survives on her own.We also saw the 1964 movie about it.I felt like the movie was much different than the book. I think this movie should be remade.

One very good reason this movie should be remade is that it is a survival movie. Captain Phillips, Lone Survivor and Saving Private Ryan are all really good and true survival movies. Alaskan survival, Dual survival, and Man vs wild are good TV show that many people watch.The most important part is that this story is a true one.

My second reason is that there are some really action packed scene in the book but not in the movie.Lots of people like action movies and you can make this one one of those kind of movies. For example there is a huge Elephant seal fight. In the book, the author says “Using his tusk like teeth, he ripped a long gash in the young bulls side.” There is also a tsunami that you can make very intense.I think thongs are some good action scene.

The graphics in the movie are not very good but you could fix that. There is almost no blood in the original movie, when the aluts, other people that came to the island to hunt for otters, killed most of karanas tribe. The actors voices are very boring because they are the same tone. When Karana shoots Rontu with a bow, a dog she said she was going to kill but they became friends, it looks very weird. I think that if you fix these things it might draw whatchers attention.

these are some really good reasons why you should remake this movie.With these corrections, the movie will be the best survival movie ever. I know it will be a lot of work to do this, but it will be worth it. I know this movie could be a hit, only if you just put some time in to remaking the movie. Plus it has been 50 years since the movie was made.
