In 1995, the cult movie Jumanji with Robin Williams was released before Christmas. A magnificent fairy tale in an adventure style with a relaxed atmosphere and a fascinating plot - this is exactly the picture that all of us remembered. And even if we are adults, we would really like to plunge into this brave world of a board game that takes the player to the dangerous jungle again. And with the movie Jumanji: Call of the Jungle, the actors will provide such an opportunity right before Christmas.
General movie info
The painting "Jumanji: Call of the Jungle" is a sequel to the original film, released in 1995. Its plot basis is the idea of how desktop entertainment for a company of children takes them to a dangerous gaming world. The project with the participation of Robin Williams was very popular due to the non-standard nature of the idea itself, which in 2017 was decided to be implemented again on the screen. The motto of the film is the slogan "The game has evolved", and it really has a lot of changes.
This time, the movie Jumanji: Call of the Jungle is directed by Jake Kazdan, who has assembled an excellent team of popular actors for the film. Jake is known as the director of the comedy films Home Video and A Very Bad Teacher. These funny films were intended for an adult audience, while in Jumanji: Call of the Jungle, actors play teenagers. The age rating is 12+, which significantly expands the audience of viewers. In this film, you should expect beautiful graphics and sparkling humor, interesting characters and a lot of contrast. Perhaps these scriptwriters tried to distract the viewer, trying not to predict the course of events.
Storytelling
The plot is based on the idea of transferring the players of the console game into the thick of events, where the heroes have to go through a lot of trials. Four teenagers will spend time behind her, who are punished for dissimilar misconduct by cleaning in the basement of the school. There, they manage to find a strange game that draws players into their world of dangerous jungle. In it, avatars will run away from dangers and fight enemies, solve riddles and just survive in the wild environment of the tropics.
Player avatars
The characters to be played by teenagers are: Dr. Salder Bravestone, international researcher and archaeologist, Professor Shelley Oberon - a genius for deciphering riddles, a cartographer, Franklin Finbar - an expert in the field of weapons and zoology, and Ruby Roundhouse - a first-class fighter, killer. Each avatar has its own set of interesting skills that are assigned to players in the jungle world. And it will be beaten in contrast, which the actors do not hide in the movie "Jumanji: Call of the Jungle".
The main actors of the film
Most of the screen time will be occupied by the avatars of adolescents, and therefore they should be indicated as the main actors. So, in the role of Professor Shelley Oberon, the same avatar of the beauty Bethany, performed by Madison Iseman, Jack Black is removed. Together with Kevin Hart, who is responsible for translating the character of Franklin “Musa” Finbar on the screen, these two will amuse the audience, speaking in their main role. And the jokes in the film, judging by even one trailer, are very sharp and contrasting.
The character of Dwayne Johnson - Dr. Salder Bravestone, is also clearly not a snob. The viewer will see him on the screen as a funny actor in his favorite genre. The Rock played a similar role in the 2014 Hercules movie, but in Jumanji it’s a bit different, which can be seen soon, because for the movie Jumanji: Call of the Jungle, the release date is set for December 20. Exactly before Christmas, the viewer will plunge into a festive atmosphere similar to the one presented by the release of the first part of the film in 1995.
The role of the fighter Ruby Roundhouse is Karen Gillan, who, perhaps the only one, will play a serious character. However, in Jumanji: Call of the Jungle, actors as their avatars will be very useful for each other. Together they will have to deal with enemies and survive. Having formed a close group of people who in real life wouldn’t even communicate, they will have to survive. Of course, all this time it’s possible to joke, because, as it turns out later, it’s impossible to die in the game.
The death of an avatar simply removes the characters from their main goal, but almost immediately returns it to the team and makes them act together. This is the most valuable lesson taught to Spencer, Bethany, Martha and Fridge. And in the movie "Jumanji: Call of the Jungle", the actors allowed them to discover the potential in adolescents and look at themselves from a completely different perspective. Although, perhaps, Bethany should not try on the image of Jack Black in the real world, but this very conversion of images is the most ironic in the movie, adding to her fun.
