TRAVEL TO MOVIES: THE LEGEND OF TARZAN

Director: David Yates
Cast: Alexander Skarsgard , Margot Robbie , Samuel L. Jackson , Djimon Hounsou , Christoph Waltz , Jim Broadbent , Ella Purnell , Casper Cump , Cali Nelle , Rory J. Saper
Plot: For years, Tarzan has been out of the African jungle where he once grew up. Living a civilised existence as John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke with his wife, Jane Porter, he is asked to travel to Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament. Little does he know that he is part of Belgian Captain Rom's plan to exact his greed and revenge.


My Movie Review: The movie is bit dark taking us to more serious yet sensible approach retelling the legend. This version is exquisite in giving more explanation to the elements of the story and how it revolves to the characters. Tarzan raised in the jungle must come home to be one of the apes and save the people he grew up. With this comes Jane where we look a side of her that never been seen before she become part of the tribe in the wild.
My Favorite Character: George Washington Williams

George Washington Williams of The Legend of Tarzan was a real person, who did a lot more interesting things in real life than just getting a ride on a vine-swinging Tarzan. In 1890, Williams visited the Congo in Africa, which was then colonized by King Leopold II of Belgium, seen in The Legend of Tarzan. Appalled by the exploitation of the African people by the Belgian colony, Williams is most remembered for his scathing letter, written directly to the King Leopold II, which he detailed Belgium's crime against the people of the Congo.
