The Jungle Book Review

Jon favreau brings magic back into the classic story..

Terri Schwartz Avatar

With impressive visual effects, a strong leading actor and well-drawn characters, Disney's return to The Jungle Book is a fantastic adventure film with strong messages that's good for audiences young and old. There is some darkness to the movie that might be too much for some younger viewers, but for adults who loved the animated movie growing up, Favreau's take on the story amplifies the 1967 animated film's strengths while also adding new depth and emotional resonance to what was already a strong story.

Super Bowl Movie Ads Tailor-Made to Sequels and Superheroes

Of all of the impressive details to appear on screen in Disney’s live-action adaptation of “ The Jungle Book ,” none is more startling than a title card at the close of the end credits reading: “Filmed in Downtown Los Angeles.” So immersively does the film’s visual-effects team craft every tree, waterfall and flower of Rudyard Kipling’s fantastical subcontinental setting, and so carefully are the talking CGI animals rendered, it almost beggars belief that the whole thing was shot in a 12-story building overlooking the 110 freeway. But aside from investing in top-drawer digital craftsmanship, perhaps the canniest move Disney made on this film was hiring Jon Favreau to helm it. Maintaining the buoyant heartbeat beneath all the digital flash, Favreau never loses sight of the fact that he’s making an adventure story for children — no small matter in a kid-pic landscape flooded with inappropriately gritty reboots and frenetic distraction devices — and when positive word of mouth arrives to buttress Disney’s all-out marketing efforts, the studio should have a substantial hit on its hands.

Favreau already has one four-star family pic to his credit with “Elf,” but the most important touchstone from his filmography here is probably “Iron Man,” in which the director hit all the marks of an effects-heavy tentpole while still allowing the film to breathe where it needed to. His lightness of touch proves an enormous asset, as he builds this jungle into the type of dangerous, sometimes pitiless setting that an average 10-year-old would nonetheless never want to leave. It can’t rival the woolly looseness of Disney’s 1967 animated classic, of course, but it succeeds on its own so well that such comparisons are barely necessary.

Pulling freely from Kipling’s stories, Disney’s own animated treatment, and the inventions of screenwriter Justin Marks, this “Jungle Book” certainly imposes a bit more of a strict hero’s-journey framework onto the source materials, yet rarely does it lapse into the sort of po-faced seriousness that tends to sour so many aggressively modernized fairy stories. Kipling’s story “Mowgli’s Brothers” serves as the film’s jumping-off point, and we open on the 10-year-old man-cub (first-timer Neel Sethi) as he’s deep into his wolf training. Discovered abandoned in the jungle by the sage black panther Bagheera (voiced by Ben Kingsley, all exasperated officiousness), Mowgli has been raised by wolf couple Raksha (Lupita Nyong’o) and Akela (Giancarlo Esposito), but his development is lagging behind that of his lupine siblings, and Bagheera admonishes him for using human “tricks” like tool building, instead of learning the ways of the pack.

When a dry season forces predators and prey into a brief “water truce,” the rest of the jungle gets a look at the wolf pack’s unusual new charge. The despotic Bengal tiger Shere Khan (Idris Elba) takes exception, having lost his left eye to an encounter with mankind’s “red flower,” fire, and demands the boy be surrendered to him. Akela stares down the tiger, but the conflict is enough to convince Mowgli to travel with Bagheera to rejoin human civilization; on their way, Shere Khan springs a surprise attack, and Mowgli flees off into the deep jungle alone.

It’s here that the familiar plot beats from Disney’s first “Jungle Book” outing kick in, and Mowgli joins forces with an ingratiatingly lazy bear, Baloo ( Bill Murray ). As much as modern blockbuster style might demand some sort of theme-park-ready setpiece for every reel, Favreau clearly understands that the Mowgli-Baloo relationship is the real key to the story, and he slows the film’s pace long enough to build up an effective hangout vibe, with Murray voicing the role as the world’s most charming ursine used-car salesman.

Whether the sloped-shouldered, heavy-lidded Baloo is designed to look a bit like Murray or Murray simply looks like a half-napping bear is open to debate, but it’s only with him that the film ever risks setting foot into the uncanny valley: Otherwise, the animal effects are overwhelmingly successful, taking the standard set by Rhythm and Hues’ CG tiger in “Life of Pi” and applying it throughout. It isn’t just that the animal movements scan as real — Shere Khan in particular is carefully rendered to be intimidatingly weighty when looming in the foreground while lighter than air when in flight — but they’ve figured out just how much to anthropomorphize the animal mouth movements to make their speaking seem natural, without turning them into cartoons.

Not all of it works. The all-but-contractually-obliged reprisals of Mouse House musical staples (“The Bare Necessities,” “I Wan’na Be Like You”) are inorganically threaded in, and the decision to cast King Louie (Christopher Walken) as a a grotesque, Col. Kurtz-esque gigantopithecus only makes the absence of Louis Prima sting even stronger. But when the film gets it right, it sings. The appearance of Kaa the snake (voiced by Scarlett Johansson, in the closest we’re likely to get to an “Under the Skin” sequel) is magnificently done, exploiting the surround-sound capabilities of Dolby Atmos and a sense of slowly shifting scale for an unnervingly trippy sequence that stops just short of something that would trouble children’s sleep.

Tackling his first feature-film role not only as the lead, but also as the only flesh-and-blood character on screen, young Sethi acquits himself well under what must have been challenging circumstances. His line readings don’t always fully pop, but he possesses a loose-limbed naturalness on camera, and perhaps most importantly for a film like this, he genuinely seems to be having fun. Voice work is excellent all around, from Nyong’o’s maternal warmth to Elba’s arrogant malevolence, and the late Garry Shandling has his moments as Ikki, the skittish porcupine. Composer John Debney offers a lush symphonic score, and the 3D work is impressive enough to justify the ticket price.

The Jungle Book

By rudyard kipling.

  • The Jungle Book Summary

The Seeonee pack of wolves in the jungle head to their family lair when, thanks to the gossip of the jackal Tabaqui, they hear Shere Khan , the tiger with a pronounced limp but passion for fighting, is approaching. Mother Wolf protects her four cubs but is amazed to see a little, naked, brown human cub running into the cave. He is the prey that the tiger is looking for. Quickly she decides to bring the boy into her family, naming him Mowgli , which means "little frog.” Mother agrees to show him to the pack alongside her own cubs to be identified, so that they can be free to run and play without fear of being killed. At the wolves’ Circle Rock Council, Mowgli's right to be a member of the pack is questioned by Shere Khan, who still feels that the boy belongs to him. The Law of the Jungle states that if there is a dispute, a cub needs to have two members of the pack that are not his mother or father speak for him. As Mother prepares to fight for her man-cub, Baloo , the old brown bear, speaks for him and promises to teach him the laws of the jungle. This is seconded by Bagheera , the black panther, who buys Mowgli's safety by offering up to the pack a fat bull that he has just killed. Mowgli is then accepted into the pack.

Mowgli spends his childhood learning the ways of the jungle from Baloo, hunting with Bagheera, and living with his wolf family. Once he is kidnapped by the Monkey-People, but Baloo, Bagheera, and the python Kaa save him.

When he is eleven years old. Shere Khan again demands that Mowgli be given to him and a fight ensues; Shere Khan has a lot of the younger wolves on his side and they depose Akela , the wise and aging leader of the pack. However, Mowgli has fire that he has been tending, and knowing how much the animals fear fire, he threatens Shere Khan with it and then orders that they leave Akela safe. Hugging his wolf family, who ask him to return one day, he goes towards the nearest village to find his own people.

When he arrives, he is welcomed into the home of a couple who believe him to be their long-lost son who was taken from them as an infant by a tiger. Messua , the woman, decides he is not their missing boy, but a boy sent by the Gods to make up for their son being taken away. She treats him like her own but Mowgli, used to living in the jungle, is not comfortable or at ease in a human home. He sleeps outside. One day, Gray Brother , one of his wolf siblings, wakes him. Gray Brother has learned that Shere Khan is still hunting Mowgli, and brings Akela to the village to try to help. Mowgli works every day in the fields herding buffalo, so they plan to divide up the herd to throw Shere Khan off the scent, then make a big circle uphill to get ahead of the ravine, taking the bulls down into it and trapping Shere Khan between the cows and the bulls. Shere Khan takes the bait and is trampled. When he is dead, Mowgli starts to skin him with his knife, but having come searching for his buffalo, the chief hunter of the village, Buldeo , realizes that there was a price on the head of this tiger who has been killing villagers, and demands the skin for himself so that he can claim the reward. Mowgli tells Akela that Buldeo is threatening him so Akela holds the chief down. With the skin laid over the Council Rock, Akela is leader again.

Buldeo, having convinced the entire village that Mowgli is one with wolves, declares him to be a sorcerer and Mowgli is banished from the village. Buldeo leads a group of hunters into the jungle to try to kill Mowgli, who in the meantime has returned to the village to find Messua and her husband bound, gagged, and imprisoned in their home. He procures the help of Hathi the wise old elephant, who agrees to destroy the village. He and his sons start to put the word out that the best food and best kill is available down by the village. Mowgli frees Messua and her husband, telling them to flee. After they have left, the jungle dwellers start to close in on the village in an effort to make the villagers move away. Hathi and his sons eat all of the stored seed corn, the other animals ruin the fields, and the lack of supplies finally forces the starving humans to leave the village. Hathi barrels through buildings until nothing is left standing and in a few short months the jungle has grown over the land where the village used to be.

Having returned to the jungle stronger, and slightly feared, Mowgli is recognized as Master of the Jungle. One of his favorite friends is Kaa, the giant python, who saved his life. After their customary play-wrestle they go back to the scene of Kaa's life-saving heroics and meet a huge, elderly white cobra who has lived underground for so long that he does not realize the jungle has taken over the old palaces of the Raj that he used to serve. He is the Warden of the King's Treasure and he allows them to take ownership of it, but only whilst they are in his lair. He threatens to kill Mowgli, but after they overpower him Kaa and Mowgli realize his fangs have dried up and he is not a threat at all. Mowgli takes a jeweled elephant head-dress with him, but the white cobra tells him it is cursed and death will follow it wherever it goes. Mowgli doesn't believe him at first, but when a hunter looking to steal the item from them winds up dead followed by six others with a similar goal in mind, Mowgli realizes he was speaking the truth and returns the jeweled spike to him.

The story jumps to Mowgli at the age of seventeen, when his parents pass away. He rolls a boulder in front of their family cave and sings his mourning song. Akela is now too old to hunt for himself so Mowgli hunts for him. The Seeonee pack grows stronger. One day, a lone wolf who lives not in a pack but with his wife and children comes to their part of the jungle, having been involved in an attack by the red dogs. They killed his cubs and wife and almost slaughtered him. He asks for help from the Seeonee pack. Mowgli heads to where the dogs are to count them and devises a plan, along with Kaa, to draw them towards the river at twilight where the bees will swarm and attack them. There is a giant battle but Mowgli's plan puts the red dogs at a huge disadvantage as when they are climbing out of the river the wolves, who attack by biting the throat, are able to attack before the dogs are fully out of the water. Akela is not killed in battle but realizes it is time for him to die. Before he sings his own mourning song, he tells Mowgli to go back to man as he has paid his debt to the jungle. Mowgli does not want to leave and is puzzled by Akela's claim that "Mowgli will drive Mowgli out of the jungle."

Spring comes and with it a strange, unfamiliar feeling in Mowgli's stomach that leaves him unable to fight properly and generally feeling grumpy and depressed. He decides to undertake a Spring Running and begins a journey on foot that takes him to a village where again he sees Messua and re-introduces himself to her. He is feverish and rests with her for a few days while she takes care of him. As he is headed back to the jungle, Gray Brother finally answers Mowgli's call, and they trot back together as Mowgli breaks the news that he is going to rejoin the humans. He says farewell to his family - Baloo, Kaa, and Bagheera, who tell him how much they love him, and his wolf brothers, then sets off to live among men once more.

As for the other tales, the most well-known is that of “ Rikki-Tikki-Tavi ,” the tale of a feisty and brave mongoose who is washed away from his parents during the rains and finds himself living in a house with an English family of three. He discovers Nag and Nagaina , a cobra and his wife, who want the humans to leave so that they can have the bungalow to themselves when their children are born. Rikki-tikki surprises the male cobra and disables him until the man comes to shoot the snake dead. The family is grateful to Rikki for saving their lives, but he is mindful that the snake's wife will be even more determined to kill the family. He decides to smash all of her eggs, saving one to barter, which draws her away from the house and into her tunnel. Rikki-tikki follows, not knowing if he will make it out alive, but happily does after killing Nagaina. The family realize he has saved their lives three times now, and remain grateful to him, However, he is very humble, living with them and making sure the garden is kept free of snakes.

In “The White Seal,” Kotick , a young seal known for his incredible and rare white coat, journeys to find an island where all of the seals can be safe from men clubbing them for their pelts.

In “The Miracle of Purun Bhagat,” Purun Dass becomes Prime Minister of a province of India, but willingly gives up his rule for peace and quiet as a holy man. He travels on foot to the Himalayas and takes up residence in a craggy mountain near a small village. The villagers respect and honor him and he lives a pleasant existence. He befriends the animals, who warn him that the mountain is coming down one night. Purun Bhagat, as he is now known, warns the villagers of this and they flee. Purun Bhagat perishes, and the villagers mourn and honor him.

In “Toomai of the Elephants,” Little Toomai , the son of an elephant driver, travels deep into the jungle with his elephant, Kala Nag , to see the mysterious and mythical dance of the elephants – something which no man ever gets to see. When he returns, the Englishman Peterson Sahib , manager of all the Indian Government’s elephant operations, as well as the rest of the Indians involved, honor and celebrate the boy.

In “Servants of the Queen,” a collection of animals in the service of the Indian Government – a troop-horse, two mules, two bullocks, a small dog, and a camel from a visiting army – discuss their services, their masters, and their lives.

In “The Undertakers,” a crane, a jackal, and a crocodile who live by a river near a village converse. The crocodile remembers the events of the Mutiny of 1857. He recalls a young boy whom he tried to eat and how the boy escaped; later that very boy returns to kill the crocodile.

In “Quiquern,” an Inuit teenager named Kotuku travels into the vast, wild winter wasteland in the far North to find seal for his starving village.

The Jungle Book

Review and Interpretation of the Movie Jungle Book

The Jungle Book is one of Walt Disney’s early works, and the last he was to oversee in his lifetime. It opens in the jungles of India, where Bagheera the black panther finds a crying baby. This baby is revealed to be Mowgli, our protagonist. Bagheera brings Mowgli to a wolf pack, where he is raised to be a young boy. As he is brought up, he learns to live in the jungle, until news comes of Shere Khan. The tiger Shere Khan is tipped that Mowgli is living amongst the jungle animals, and aims to kill him before he becomes a hunter like all the other humans. His wolf family asks Bagheera to take him to the man-village, away from safety. As Mowgli realizes what happens, he argues that he wants to stay in the jungle. They find Kaa, the snake, who tries to hypnotize the two. Mowgli proves a point by fending him off and they get a day’s rest before they progress to the village. In the morning, they wake up to elephants parading, where Mowgli finds a friend and joins the march. Bagheera, frustrated with Mowgli straying from the travel to the village, leaves him to fend for himself. As Mowgli and Bagheera storm off, Mowgli meets Baloo, the bear. They find companionship in one another, and hearing Baloo’s bellowing, Bagheera thinks Mowgli is in trouble. He comes to the rescue, but he is frustrated as he finds the carefree Baloo. As Mowgli and Baloo are just having a good time together, Bagheera is about to leave, but Mowgli gets abducted by the monkeys. As Mowgli is taken to the king of the monkeys, King Louie, he is asked for the secret to man’s fire. Bagheera and Baloo come to save him, and the monkeys are routed as their ancient ruins collapse. As the three escape, Mowgli takes the night to rest while Baloo and Bagheera talk. Baloo agrees to take Mowgli to the man-village for his own safety, albeit reluctantly – Baloo now sees Mowgli as his own child, and he knows he will miss Mowgli. The two start off, but Mowgli finds that they are going to the village and he again runs off on his own. Shere Khan appears, stalking Bagheera and finding out that Mowgli is missing. Kaa is stumbled upon by Mowgli, and by Shere Khan not shortly after. Shere Khan interrogates Kaa, but does not find Mowgli. As Mowgli continues to wander, despondent, he finds the vultures. The vultures comfort Mowgli and make him an honorary vulture. Shere Khan appears again, ready to attack Mowgli. As the tiger pounces, Baloo appears and thwarts him. The two battle and Baloo is knocked out, but Mowgli scares him off with fire. In the aftermath, Bagheera and Mowgli mourn Baloo, but Baloo awakes not soon afterward. The two are ecstatic and walk off together, but they walk by the village and they see a girl. Mowgli, intrigued, follows her, and joins the man-village. The film concludes as Bagheera and Baloo walk off, happy, and Mowgli walks off with his girl.

The cast of The Jungle Book helped bring the characters to life. It’s hard to point out a bad choice in casting, as each voice really fit each character. Bruce Reitherman is the director’s son, but fulfilled the childlike and adventurous voice of Mowgli. Phil Harris gave Baloo life and soul, and as the 2016 remake is about to release, it’s hard to imagine anyone else voicing Baloo. In specific, Phil Harris’s voice will be greatly missed in the performance of “Bare Necessities”. Bagheera and Shere Khan, voiced by Sebastian Cabot and George Sanders respectively, also fit their characters and performed their lines well.

The Jungle Book’s plot advancement was perfectly simple and very well-done. The incomplex intro of each character was perfect and was great for a family movie, while also being clever setups for the personalities of each character. Bagheera is introduced as the caring parental figure, Baloo is carefree and a wandering soul, Kaa is snakelike and conniving, and Shere Khan is confidently cool. One thing that was simply mediocre was the animation style. There was not much interesting going on in the animation, although it was done up to standard. This can be easily excused, though – the film was made in 1967 and, when compared to other Disney films, the technology was not there to make these intricately computer-generated graphics.

The theme of The Jungle Book is one of acceptance despite differences. Each character deals with Mowgli in a unique way, some accepting him and some treating him as an outsider. Bagheera and Baloo are Mowgli’s companions through and through, with each acting as a sort of parental figure in his jungle life. They enjoy the time they spend in the jungle and are blessed with a young boy alongside them. On the flipside, the people who treat Mowgli as an outsider are hit smack in the face by karma. Kaa is knocked around Tom-and-Jerry style for messing with Mowgli. King Louie of the monkeys covets man’s secret of fire and has the ruins he calls home destroyed for his greed. Finally, Shere Khan is turned into a coward for his hunting of Mowgli with a simple burning branch. The characters that accept Mowgli despite him being human are rewarded, while the ones that do not are duly punished.

The Jungle Book is a great family film that withstands the test of time. It is easily recommendable to families across the world, as it’s entertaining, lighthearted, and simply elegant – not to mention its catchy songs. However, if you’re looking for something serious, The Jungle Book isn’t the film to go to, as it’s fairly simple and jovial in nature. The film was Approved in 1967 and it was correctly so – there is not a drop of suggestive content. In closing, The Jungle Book is a great movie that’s nearly impossible to outgrow. Seeing this film at an early age and recently rewatching it, it is only natural that it would stick in a child’s mind; it is a measly 88 minutes, making it easily rewatchable, the catchy tunes are simple to sing along to, the characters are lovable, and it has a great moral for children to learn while they are young. Overall, a classic for families throughout the years, and for good reason.

The Jungle Book

By Peter Travers

Peter Travers

Director Jon Favreau conjures up a magical place to get lost in. And that’s just one of the dazzling delights in The Jungle Book, a visual marvel that cuts a direct path to the heart. Favreau, the director of films as diverse as Elf, Iron Man and Chef, has managed to blend what’s best in the jungle stories of Rudyard Kipling and the 1967 animated Disney version into something unique and unforgettable. See it in reach-out-and-touch 3D if you can, and prepare to be wowed.

Ready-for-anything newcomer Neel Sethi — the only human in a cast of talking computer-generated animals,  plays Mowgli, a 10-year-old man-cub. After the murder of his father, Mowgli is found in the jungle of India by the panther Bagheera (voiced by Ben Kingsley) and left in the care of wolf parents, Raksha (Lupita Nyong’o) and Akela (Giancarlo Esposito). A water shortage has persuaded different species of animals to come together in peace and sharing. The truce is disrupted by the hostile Shere Khan, a Bengal tiger growled by Idris Elba in a voice guaranteed to induce fear and trembling. Blinded in one eye by fire, the “red flower” that the tiger blames on man, Shere Khan demands that the wolfpack turn over Mowgli to him for certain death. After a tearful farewell to his mother (Nyong’o speaks the role with touching gravity), Mowgli — with Bagheera keeping a watchful eye — sets out to connect with a tribe of humans he’s never known.

Scary, yes, but also thrilling. That’s because Favreau, screenwriter Justin Marks, cinematographer Bill Pope ( The Matrix ) and a miraculous special-effects team have made everything so vivid and vibrantly alive. Image and sound design reach new heights as Mowgli moves into the darkness. The mouth movements of the creatures, from ape to turtle, are appealingly natural in the manner of the talking pig in Babe. Be on the lookout for Kaa, a giant python so seductively hissed by Scarlett Johansson that it takes a while to realize she’s just warming up Mowgli up for the kill.

Just when we get hungry for laughs, there’s Baloo, a lazy hustler of a bear given voice by the incomparable Bill Murray . Baloo helps restore the good-natured, hibernating, honey-slurping, fat-slob sauciness to a mammal that took a hit for turning Leonardo DiCaprio into a chew toy in The Revenant. Murray is pricelessly funny, especially dueting with Mowgli on “The Bare Necessities,” the Oscar-nominated ditty from the Disney cartoon. We also get a song from Christopher Walken who croons “I Wan’na Be Like You” to Mowgli in the role of King Louie, a gigantopithecus who rivals Kong’s role as king of the jungle. No one combines mirth and menace like Walken, whose looks begin to fuse with Louie’s to uncanny effect.

The Jungle Book weaves its way to a happy ending without getting dragged down in the mire of silliness and soppy sentiment. Favreau earns giggles and sniffles through the warm humor he brings to the story. The natural bounce in Sethi’s performance is echoed in the film. There’s nothing cynical about Favreau’s approach to the material.  You get the feeling that he’s having as much fun as we are. Working far from the jungle in a building in downtown Los Angeles, Favreau and his VFX team have built a fantasy world to rival James Cameron’s in Avatar and Ang Lee’s in Life of Pi. Favreau’s Jungle Book fills us with something rare in movies today — a sense of wonder.

100 Words Essay on Jungle Book Movie

The jungle book movie.

The Jungle Book movie is a fascinating adventure film. It’s based on Rudyard Kipling’s book, telling the story of Mowgli, a boy raised in the jungle.

Mowgli is the central character. His friends include Baloo the bear, Bagheera the panther, and other jungle creatures. His enemy is Shere Khan, a fearsome tiger.

The plot revolves around Mowgli’s journey to find his place in the world, overcoming challenges and learning important life lessons.

The movie is loved for its captivating storyline, impressive animation, and memorable characters, making it a favorite among children.

250 Words Essay on Jungle Book Movie

Introduction to jungle book movie.

The Jungle Book movie, directed by Jon Favreau, is an enchanting adaptation of Rudyard Kipling’s classic collection of stories. The movie, released in 2016, is a wonderful amalgamation of live-action and CGI, bringing to life the vibrant and dangerous world of the Indian jungles.

Plot and Characters

The narrative revolves around Mowgli, a man-cub raised by a pack of wolves. His journey of self-discovery, interspersed with encounters with various anthropomorphic animals, forms the crux of the story. The characters, including the wise panther Bagheera, the fearsome tiger Shere Khan, and the affable bear Baloo, are rendered with extraordinary realism, each with their distinct personalities and motives.

Technical Brilliance

The movie’s technical brilliance lies in its seamless blend of live-action and CGI. The lush, detailed environments, the realistic animal movements, and the expressive character designs contribute to an immersive viewing experience. The stunning visuals are complemented by a compelling score that enhances the emotional depth of the narrative.

Critical Analysis

While the Jungle Book movie is a visual spectacle, it also explores profound themes like identity, belonging, and the human-animal relationship. It delves into Mowgli’s struggle to find his place in the world, a theme that resonates with the youth’s quest for self-discovery. The movie also raises pertinent questions about man’s destructive intrusion into the natural world.

In conclusion, the Jungle Book movie is a masterful retelling of Kipling’s timeless tales. It is not just a children’s movie, but an insightful exploration of complex themes that engage audiences of all ages. Its technical prowess and narrative depth make it a standout in contemporary cinema.

500 Words Essay on Jungle Book Movie

Introduction.

The Jungle Book, a movie that has captured the hearts of millions, is an extraordinary blend of live-action and digital animation. Directed by Jon Favreau and produced by Walt Disney Pictures, the film is based on Rudyard Kipling’s eponymous collective works, as well as inspired by Walt Disney’s 1967 animated film of the same name.

Reviving the Classic Tale

The Jungle Book movie is a stunning revival of the classic tale that has been loved by generations. Favreau and his team have taken the enchanting story of Mowgli, a human boy raised by wolves in the jungle, and given it a modern twist. The film explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle between civilization and nature. It is a coming-of-age story that resonates with the audience, irrespective of their age.

Technological Mastery

One of the most striking elements of The Jungle Book is its technological mastery. The film’s seamless blend of live-action and digital animation creates a captivating and immersive viewing experience. The photorealistic CGI animals and environments are a testament to the leaps and bounds made in digital technology. The animals, although digitally created, evoke genuine emotions and form a deep connection with the audience.

Characterization and Voice-Over Talent

The film’s characterization is another commendable aspect. Each character, from the friendly bear Baloo to the menacing tiger Shere Khan, is meticulously crafted. The voice-over cast, which includes the likes of Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, and Idris Elba, breathes life into these characters, making them memorable and relatable.

Symbolism and Themes

The Jungle Book is not just an entertaining film; it is also rich in symbolism and themes. The jungle represents the wild, untamed side of nature, while the man-village symbolizes civilization and order. Mowgli’s journey is a metaphor for the human experience, highlighting the struggle between our primal instincts and societal norms. The film also touches upon themes of environmental conservation and coexistence, making it a relevant watch in today’s context.

In conclusion, The Jungle Book is more than just a children’s film. It is a technological marvel that pushes the boundaries of digital animation, a compelling narrative that explores universal themes, and a nostalgic trip down memory lane for those who grew up with the original. The film is a testament to the enduring appeal of Kipling’s classic tale and the magic of cinema that can bring such a story to life. It serves as a reminder of our relationship with nature and the importance of preserving it for future generations. With its captivating visuals, engaging narrative, and profound themes, The Jungle Book is a movie that continues to enthrall audiences worldwide.

jungle book movie review essay

Now streaming on:

In 1981, Yossi Ghinsberg , all of 21 years old, traveled to South America with dreams of adventure. He ended up in La Paz, Bolivia where he befriended Marcus Stamm, a Swiss teacher, and Kevin Gale, an American photographer. Together, they set out on an expedition into the uncharted Amazon led by the mysterious Karl Ruprechter, an Austrian man who claimed to have knowledge of hidden gold. After traveling for several days with low supplies and frayed nerves, the four men separated—Karl and Marcus would walk while Yossi and Kevin set out on the river in a raft. But as the raft neared a waterfall, Yossi and Kevin lost control and got separated from each other. Yossi spent three weeks stranded in the jungle with no supplies and little food before being rescued by a search mission just before they were about to abandon hope.

Yossi’s remarkable tale of bravery and fortitude feels ready made for a film adaptation, one that delves into the psychological horrors he faced alone in the jungle, uncertain if he’d ever make it out alive. Director Greg McLean (best known for his debut horror film “ Wolf Creek ”) delivers on this promise with the gritty, yet ultimately overwrought “Jungle.” Starring the always-game Daniel Radcliffe as Yossi, “Jungle” succeeds in communicating the young Israeli kid’s horrible situation, as well as the camaraderie between him and his new friends, but falls short when trying to visually explicate his mental state.

For most of the film, McLean coasts on the real-life details of Yossi’s story to great effect. He and Radcliffe wonderfully capture Yossi’s open, yet reckless mindset as he lands in La Paz and meets Marcus (played by Joel Jackson ) and Kevin ( Alex Russell , who conveys just the right amount of American arrogance). McLean strikes the right tone during Yossi and the crew’s first few days out in the jungle, hovering somewhere between dangerous and exciting. He’s also perceptive about how the unstable environment creates a hierarchy amongst those who dare enter it—Yossi and Kevin adapt right away, but Marcus immediately feels out of place and his blistered, cut-open feet are unable to keep up with his buddies. Marcus begins to lose it while Yossi and Kevin resent him for dragging them down.

Ironically, “Jungle” starts to lose its way when Yossi loses his. As soon as McLean has only Radcliffe and the jungle as his two main characters, he starts over-relying on cheap effects and hoary psychological clichés to express Yossi’s fraught state of mind. Yossi certainly suffered from hallucinations and near-fatal exhaustion during his harrowing journey, but “Jungle” illustrates this with faux-delirious imagery and wholly unnecessary flashbacks that exist only to break up the monotony of the action. There seems to be great trepidation on McLean’s part to simply allow Radcliffe to communicate the character’s own internalized emotions. Instead, he employs visual gimmickry as cheap support.

It’s a shame because Radcliffe carries “Jungle” on his shoulders, when McLean or Justin Monjo ’s script lets him. He admirably throws himself into this role and plays Yossi as a kid who got into an adventure that was way over his head. He excels at channeling Yossi’s frustration with his own rudimentary exploration skills, like when he realizes he’s spent the day walking in a circle or when he can’t get the rescue plane overhead to see his location. He stumbles occasionally when he has to monologue his own fears (his shaky Israeli accent is mostly to blame), but it’s primarily a physical role, and luckily he’s up to the task. There’s still great charge in watching the former Harry Potter as an emaciated wreck, crawling through the brush whilst screaming for help.

Despite its many obvious flaws—shaky dialogue, unsubtle sound design, a strong tendency to visually explicate simple ideas—Yossi’s story has enough weight on its own to render “Jungle” a moderately compelling survival flick. The film is on solid ground when it relies solely on the unique dangers of the Amazon, like in the film’s best scene when Yossi finds a parasite lodged in his forehead and must use tweezers to extract it. Moreover, Yossi’s straightforward plight makes him a strong protagonist and keeps the audience invested in his struggle to stay alive. Sometimes a compelling reality is all you need to make a good fiction.

Why is writing essays so hard?

Patterns and boring topics imposed by schools and universities are not very conducive to creativity and human development. Such essays are very difficult to write, because many are not interested in this and do not see the meaning of the text. There are a number of criteria that make it impossible to write essays:

  • Boring and incomprehensible topics. Many topics could be more interesting, but teachers formulate them in a way that makes you want to yawn.
  • Templates. 90% do not know how to make an essay interesting, how to turn this detailed answer to a question into a living story.
  • Fear of not living up to expectations. It seems to many that the essay is stupid and that they simply did not understand the question. There is a fear of getting a bad mark and disappointing the professor, parents and classmates. There is a fear of looking stupid and embarrassing in front of the team.
  • Lack of experience. People don't know what and how to write about. In order to make a good essay, you need to have a perfect understanding of the topic and have the skills of a writer.

That is why the company EssaysWriting provides its services. We remove the responsibility for the result from the clients and do everything to ensure that the scientific work is recognized.

A professional essay writing service is an instrument for a student who’s pressed for time or who doesn’t speak English as a first language. However, in 2022 native English-speaking students in the U.S. become to use essay help more and more. Why is that so? Mainly, because academic assignments are too boring and time-consuming. Also, because having an essay writer on your team who’s ready to come to homework rescue saves a great deal of trouble. is one of the best new websites where you get help with your essays from dedicated academic writers for a reasonable price.

Who can help me write my essay?

At the end of the school year, students have no energy left to complete difficult homework assignments. In addition, inspiration is also lacking, so there are only a few options:

  • do not write a scientific work;
  • write it badly;
  • delegate these responsibilities to other people.

Most often, people choose the latter option, which is why companies have appeared on the Internet offering to take full responsibility.

When you visit the site, the managers clarify all the details in order to correctly design the article. They select a person who is well versed in the topic of the report and give him your task.

The client, of course, can make edits, follow the writing of each section and take part in the correction, but it is impossible to communicate with the team.

Do not worry that you will not meet personally with the site team, because throughout the entire cooperation our managers will keep in touch with each client.

‘Land of Bad’ Review: Tech Ops in the Jungle

Fighters on the ground, assisted by drone pilots, including Russell Crowe, half a world away — in Las Vegas.

  • Share full article

Liam Hemsworth and Luke Hemsworth, playing soldiers at war in the jungle in “Land of Bad.”

By Glenn Kenny

From a U.S. military installation in the Sulu Sea — where, a title card tells the viewer, “We are in a war … we just don’t know it” — soldiers board a chopper to execute a “sterilized op” (contemporary lingo for “secret mission”). The soldiers are played by a couple of Hemsworth brothers; a onetime Face of Reebok, Ricky Whittle; and a pumped-up Milo Ventimiglia. Their backup is a couple of drone pilots half a world away, providing lethal firepower from the comfort of Las Vegas.

“Land of Bad,” directed by William Eubank from a script he wrote with David Frigerio, is commendable in the abstract for depicting the realities of 21st-century warfare both narratively and thematically: Its settings include a jungle and gnarly underground jails. “At the end of the day,” Whittle’s character says, in the jungle, “when tech fails, it all comes down to one very simple thing — man killing man.” He then welcomes a rookie soldier to “the land of bad.” What the squad subsequently encounters feels like several strains of global terrorism reconfigured into a jingoistic theme park.

The former action star Russell Crowe plays Reaper, a drone guy at the other end of the soldiers’ communications devices. He’s not only fighting to keep this squad alive after the mission goes upside down, but to convince indifferent upper brass to pay attention.

Moments presumably conceived to create suspense, like Reaper’s stop at a grocery store late in the picture, merely contribute to its longueurs. When Reaper, trying to keep a seemingly stranded soldier’s spirits up, recounts his career trajectory (“The Air Force found my responses to authority were not normal”), he doesn’t sound so much like Tom Cruise’s Maverick in an alternate universe as he does Robert Hayes boring a fellow passenger to death in “Airplane!”

Land of Bad Rated R for language and violence. Running time: 1 hour 50 minutes. In theaters.
