Using the example of film processing the figure of Robin Hood can be awarded identify which priorities can put a film Schaffer, wants and needs. In the version with Kevin Costner Hood is a driven hero is confronted with family tragedies, experienced pain, established a rudimentary character conversion, is struggling with a serious evil. The Robin Hood of Errol Flynn does not know all this, and you must say: fortunately. Here it's all about the desire for adventure, to the reduction in seemingly playful battle, relatively conflict-free love, in short, to the game of our childhood in cinematic width. And this union is more than successful. Errol Flynn embodied the first and true Robin Hood-a handsome man in bright green gulf, who lives with his companions in Sherwood Forest and one fine day in love with the maiden Marian. He is the evil Sheriff of Nottingham and the evil as well as narcissistic prince John one on the Mütze- and if they have not died, they are still living today. That is the credo of the film, which dispenses with annoying character images as well as on a serious opponent or touch true misery. And to use the words of the time: "And that's a good thing!" Because it simply prepares pleasure to see the heroes of childhood in all its glory and simplification on the screen, away from any disillusionment. The rich colors, the pair of 30's and 40 years- Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland- that hapless villains, more reminiscent of unruly children, the spirit of freedom, courage and adventure, as he or the "Treasure Island" describes other works, the nostalgic component (after all, the film has already 65 years under his belt) - all of this makes us plunge into the world of Robin Hood and wish we would have been there. And hell, Prince John, we would also like a missed!
