Rating: Summary: Single Greatest Movie in History Review: How do you say "Greatest movie of all time?" I'll tell you how... "To Build a Fire," that's how! With stunning special effects, and the finest movie score we've ever heard, "To Build a Fire" kept this group of movie goers on the edge of our proverbial seats!
As an assignment for a Composition class, seven of my dearest classmates and I sat down to review the movie and we all agreed. Nothing beats "To Build a Fire." The movie tells the tale of a man (keenly resembling Grizzly Adams) on his trip through the Yukon, on his way to camp at the Klondike gold strike. It is a breathtaking tale indeed! We were shocked upon finding that neither Ian Hoggs (who plays the Grizzly Adamsesque traveler) nor the dog (who plays... the dog) won oscars or any other awards; the Academy sure missed the boat on this one! Ian Hoggs is a master of his craft, and not just anyone can pull off the Grizzly Adams look! Our group of 8 movie reviewers give "To Build a Fire" 16 frost-bitten, lifeless thumbs up!
Rating: Summary: Comp. 2 Review Review: The story "To Build a Fire" was very intersting but the movie fell short. Costuming, scenery and special effect were all miserable. The sotry depicts a man who had a strong bond with his dog and is very knowledgeable with it comes to traveling. In the story we could picture how cold it was by the color of his amber beard from his tobacco chew and the darkness. The movie did not depict the amber beard and the darkness.
The movie left many of these elements out. Until the very end of the movie when his face frosted over it seemed like he was just a man walking on a normal winter day, but iwth arrogance and stupidity.
