==In our class, we read the book //Island of The Blue Dolphin//. Some action-packed scenes from the book were missing. Those scenes were not in the movie. New technology has been innovated since the movie was made in 1964. Some viewers may find the movie better than the book, but to most, the movie isn't appealing. To improve, you can redo casting, add newer technologies, and the movie needs to be truer to the book. //The Island of the Blue Dolphins// movie should be remade.==

==This movie should have better casting. The dog pack should have looked more like foxes. Karana talked like she was Dorothy in //The Wizard of Oz//. Also, Karana should be young in the beginning and get older as the movie continues on. In the book, the birds are red and yellow, and in the movie they weren't. (My teacher was surprised I actually payed attention!) Some of the viewers think the casting was good, but I think it needs to be improved.==

==I think this movie could improve with technology. For the background, there could be a green screen to make the scenes more believable. Also they could use CGI, or Computer Generated Imaging. For that, they could make the ocean have animals coming to the boat on her canoe trip leading her back to the island, which wasn't in the movie. More reasons are the lighting, camera, sound effects, and action effects, such as slow-mo, has improved. This movie might have been more interesting in the 1960's, but nowadays it might only get you a few viewers.==

==I think that the movie needs to be truer to the book. In the movie, there was no canoe trip. No battles. No Ulape. Who's Nanko again? Have I ever heard that name. You probably have, but not in the movie. Where is the sea elephant battle? Some people might have thought that those scenes are too gruesome for younger kids, but similar to in the book, they didn't need to show the entire fight. What about the tsunami? That was the most action-packed scenes in the book, in my opinion, and I was looking forward to seeing it.==

==Even though some people thought this movie was amusing, I think that it wasn't that appealing. Most of the actors weren't that great. For the 60's this movie must've been popular, but to make it popular nowadays, it needs to show the action. Is it worth it to make a new movie? Yes! Especially since survival movies are popular now. //The Island of the Blue Dolphins// needs to be remade. REMAKE THE MOVIE, please!==
