DVD Reviews of My Side of the Mountain
DVD Review: Excellent movie for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie for the first time when I was 11, and I loved it. Living in a big city myself, and having little chance to experience the outdoors, I enjoyed Sam's adventure, identified with him, and admired his intelligence and bravery.
I was delighted to find out that one of the favorite movies from my childhood had been released on DVD. Moreover, it was a pleasant surprise that the quality of the DVD was outstanding, considering that back then (in 1972, I think), there were many technical limitations.
I am often disappointed when I "revisit" old movies, and compare them with today's high-tech multi-billion blockbusters. Not this time. I enjoyed "My Side Of The Mountain" every bit as much as I did so many years ago. And so did my kids.
In fact, I would like my kids to be as smart, tough and resourceful as Sam was in the movie.
Moreover, I believe that the new generations really need to develop a sense of harmony with nature, and some appreciation for the beauty and importance of the wilderness. May be then, it would become easier to tackle pressing issues such as global warming.
Should a movie be judged on how closely it follows the book it was inspired by? No, in my humble opinion it shouldn't. Movies and books are very different media, and therefore they abide by different criteria (for example, the movies based on "Lord Of The Rings" are very different from the books, yet they are worth watching).
Many kids won't be able to read the book for a number of reasons. Why not let them see the movie? The really important messages about nature, freedom, resourcefulness, and survival are all there.
And don't forget that after watching the movie, they'll probably want to read the books. I know I do.
