==In our class, we read //Island of the Blue Dolphins// as a class book. Afterwards, we watched a movie. The outcome was not what we expected, and was different. It might've been a hit in the 1964, but now it is not as appealing to kids. Hansel and Gretel is making 19.7 million dollars, and it's a fairy tale. Your company should remake //Island of the Blue Dolphins// movie.==

==One of the many things the movie needs is more action. In the book, a huge, gory sea elephant fight that many people would find awesome. Including the devilfish attack is vital, where Karana risks her own life to save Rontu's life. The Black Cave scene where Karana has to spend the night in a dark, scary cave with her ancestors? You might think these scenes might be a little intense for some kids, but the ratings of the movie will definitely go up. Who doesn't like a little action nowadays?==

==Another problem is that the movie wasn't as true to the book as it should be. First off, there were way too many inconsistencies. Where's Ulape and Karana's attempt to escape the island? The little details might not seem like a big deal, but people who read the book and movie critics notice. Next, you have to do things for the right reasons. In the book, Karana doesn't burn the village out of rage, she burns it out of sadness. People notice these things.==

==A main reason my class agreed on was that the casting should be changed. Scott O'Dell had described Rontu as being a type of wolf. The least you could do is to get a husky. Another idea that might be interesting is for Karana to do a voice-over, which people might find that annoying. I think we would really understand Karana's emotions about things. Tutok should've been paler and look like she came from the north. She could've lived with Karana for all I knew!==

==The present-day would like survival TV shows and movies, in case you haven't notices. So some people might not like survival stories, but the rest of the world does. Ratings of shows like //Survivor// and //Lost// are so high. It would be an awesome movie because there aren't many survival movies that took place in the 1800s and is a true story. All you would need to do is use the old script, and BINGO! You have an astonishing script!==

==Technology has improved so much in the past fifty years. It might be expensive, but it would be totally worth it! Computer Generated Imagery (CGI) would make the village fire look like a bonafide fire. Also, the lighting and camera could make things go in slow motion and make Karana look older. Nowadays, there are better music and soundtracks that could make the movie more suspenseful. Who doesn't like a song made by Adele for a movie (Skyfall)?==

==Even though some people are perfectly okay with forgetting this movie, I think it is worth saving. It might take up time and money to make, but I promise it'll be a big hit. Who would want a true survival survival story to go to waste? For the sake of old movies with cool storylines, I believe that the //Island of the Blue Dolphins// movie should be remade.==
