The Three CommentEARS
Episode 8: Robin Hood
Welcome back to From Screen to Theme's monthly
series: The Three CommentEARS! Your commentators for this return
trip to Medieval England are Gamer Tuesday writer Pedro Hernandez,
Saturday Matinee writer Albert Gutierrez, and Once Upon A Recap
writer Kelvin Cedeno. For this episode, we take a look at 1973's
Robin Hood, as we continue our summer of literary adaptations. Each
of us share different perspectives towards this film, as we discuss
the production of the film, earlier concepts set in the American
South, literary comparisons to incarnations of Robin Hood and
Aesop's fables, the film's connections to popular culture and world
events of its era, and our own personal views towards the film in
both a childhood context and as revisited nostalgia.
