Literary Aspects On "The Goonies"

                The Literary Aspects On "The Goonies”

   I chose to write about the literary points, and examples for the 1985 film “The Goonies”. I chose this category, because I found that there aren’t a substantial amount of films about pirates today, they are usually in books and novels.

  I know that there are movies that are about pirates, but this movie specifically is different than all the others. I think that the plot is quite different and very unique. They didn’t use the pirates as the main characters, in this movie all the pirates are dead, but they are still very involved in the story line. The adventure that they went on was very intriguing and it kept me glued to the screen.

   The story line was very similar to those of novels. I think that having the story of a group of outcasts going to find hidden treasure, because of a map they found was very novel like. This was and adventure movie and it had a lot of suspense and aspects about being brave in tough situations. I found that in books they usually show a lot of bravery. I thought that this movie was very prominent in doing so.

  This movie seems like it would also work very well, if not better as a book. I think that it would because, pirates remind me of a storybook theme. When the Goonies find the monster, and the underground world, it seems like its all a fictional story for a novel. The “monster” that was living in the house just doesn’t seem like a movie character to me. He seems more like he would be placed in a novel. I really liked this character though because I thought he added a different side to the film.

  This movie also used a lot of interesting langue (Spanish) which I though fit into the literary category. Spanish is a language that the pirates spoke.I thought that this was another good example of how words were written down and passes on by different cultures.

   This was a very good movie to write about literary comparisons from my point of view.
