《鲁滨逊漂流记》Robinson Crusoe (1997)的英文影评：
If you watch ''Robinson Crusoe '',expecting it to be an adaptation of the novel written by Daniel Defoe,forget it,because you are really going to hate it.As a book adaptation,this movie sucks,since many facts were changed,and others,included in the movie,never existed.The character Mary and the fact that Crusoe was not in love when he went to the sea,Crusoe spending less then 5 years on the island( when he stayed almost 30 years)Friday being killed on the island ( when he went to Europe with Robinson),Robinson being a lord (when he was never a lord) and so on,are just a few to mention.
But as a movie,without thinking about the book,we can consider it good,with beautiful scenarios and a nice plot.
It all starts,when Robinson Crusoe needs to stay away from Britain,since he killed his friend over the love of Mary,a woman he knows since they are kids.Robinson and Mary are in love,but they cannot marry until Robinson stay away from Britain for a while,to the locals forget about his acts.So Robinson takes a ship and starts traveling to many places,until an ocean storm wrecks his ship,and leaves him alone on a desert island.Needing to know how to survive on that place and also trying to go home,Crusoe stays alone for years,until the day he saves a native man from being sacrificed,whom he calls '' Friday''.They start a friendship,and they both learn many things,specially Crusoe,who learns how to respect other cultures and religions besides his own.
''Cast Away'',the movie where Tom Hanks is alone on an island,have many things in common with this movie,including the fact that both men let their women behind and needs to find ways to survive alone on a desert island.Probably if you enjoy ''Robinson',you are going to like ''Cast'' as well(And Vice versa).
