I know it seems a petty thing to focus on but one thing that I find really annoying in many of today's films is the lack of colour. So many of them look like they were filmed under cold blue lights. Of the many things I loved about Fury Road the vibrant colours of the cinematography was high on the list. <br /><br />Burroughs writing is very well suited to a modern action film adaptation though. A film can be made of any of his books, be very fast paced and still be faithful to the original. It's too bad Jon Carter didn't do very well. I rather liked it and would have liked to see other stories adapted.<br /><br />"the thought of a man raised by apes was entirely plausible to the readers of the epoch" I find the idea of a human being raised by apes plausible too. I see it happen all the time. Human beings are a species of ape (great apes, Hominidae to be specific) :-)nowherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12125582590094636085noreply@blogger.com
