Introduction


4/11

A werewolf, one who has literally been transformed from a human being into a wolf, can bestbe shown on film, where fake brutal attacks, multiple murders, rape, torture, and cannibalism iscinematic tricks to horrify and mesmerize an audience that enjoys vicarious participation infantasy violence and imaginary savagery. (Otte, 1986:1)

Indeed, the imagery pastoral, pre-industrial, pre-modern societies that prevails in fantasysuggests its indebtedness to romanticism: a connection that also worked against it at a timewhen many critics had to come to associate romanticism with the politics of the far right (again,in spite of the fact that postmodernism theoretical perspectives owe a considerable debt to theromantic tradition). (Bourgault, 2006:135)

Quotes

From being an emblem of helpless and endangered female innocence, Little RedHood has evolved into a proactive symbol of feminine assertion.

Lawrence is bitten by the lunar-tic creature the locals fear, and must confront the beast

buried within himself. With its mist-shrouded sets, gruesome slaughter and copious CGI, thisis a surprisingly respectful updating of the 1941 Universal original. Thanks to Rick Bakersmake-up effects, Del Toros transformations from handsome lover to hairy, howling beastare frighteningly convincing.(Johnston, 2009)

Quotes Discussed

Quote 1werewolfs now are more viscous and horrific due to the special effects. Werewolf's aremore imaginable because the way wolfs in film shave been created. Choosing this seemeddirect to the change of wolves over the years.

Quote 2Humans think imaginatively about the way nature can be evolved to the modern world. Soromantic tradition is ways in which romance is shown in different perspectives. As romanticismtalks about the way romantic tradition has come to be and how the theory relates to the society of

people. This seems to be interesting to analysis.

Quote 3Females is a symbol in little red riding hood picking this is because it makes sense that its veryrelative to the stories of little red riding hood. The fact that the story contains a child a girl.

Quote 4The wolf man released in (2010) is not as good as an American werewolf as thetransformation is more standard. Chosen to talk abput this is because it shows a betterunderstanding of the direction to the transformation.

Historical Images

Little red riding hoodAn American werewolf in London (1981)

Little red riding hood has been a classic and has beentold a fairy tales over the years and has been changed

during the years.

An American werewolf is an orginalmaster piece and has a creative style doto the wolfs transformations. This wasthe most interesting.


9/11

Contemporary images

The wolf man released in (2010) is great by its visual effects CGI has takenthis film of the Wolman to the next level. It has a far more detail due to the

makeup evolved and the horrify style used. Since then it has changed andbecome more better approached. But relating to the transformation its notas horrific as the (1981) American werewolf in London. This is far more betterdirected and the snoiut of the face is more scary and catch's your eye.


10/11

Werewolves tell a story of wolves being driven to fantasy such in films. Over the years the effectsused does make wolves more interesting in the sense making them look more real. In little redriding hood its true that females are a symbol of innocence and that females in wolf films such aslittle red riding hood brings wolfs more closer. Causing a danger to females causes hazards andare helpless when the obvious of running in the woods. Females do gives audience the hint to

females being used in wolf films as this is symbolically used time and time again now in thepresent film of now. In this era societys such as fans that are believers of werewolfs like thefilms that contain CGI so its true that evenly enough the youngsters of the societys now likethese types of werewolf films. As society now enjoy watching these films such as the wolfman(2010). Thanks to CGI, but older films such as the American werewolf in London (1981) show abetter example to the main transformation. Original wolf films its better directed and betterapproached than the wolf man (2010).
