Unfortunately, both versions are missing the critical scene in which the killer repeatedly steps on rakes for several minutes. The story just isn't complete without it.
Actually the "barrel chest look" had to do with the fact that actor, Robert Mitchum often wore a girdle to slim his figure giving him that look under his clothes. So when he had to do a shirtless scene such as these he was forced to hold in his stomach to hide the fact he had a slight paunch. Vanity and Hollywood ideals at work here.
That's because earlier in his career he was famous for having a large chest and freakishly slim waist, something that was written about in magazine articles.
@@Lumos89 I mean, that is pretty much the major reason the film makers went that route - it's one of those "unforgivables" in fiction, particularly cinema or television. Once you see some asshole do that, purposefully, and really showcase what the dog went through (and particularly in JW's case with how John woke up after the whole thing was over), the audience basically gives carte blanche to the person going after, and trying to take down the asshole. Almost any action becomes justified to the viewer/reader when the villain has done that.
Dom saying "He killed my dog!" in a Mickey Mouse voice immediately made me think of a John Wick parody starring Mickey Mouse out to avenge the death of Pluto. John Mick, if you will.
I think the biggest thing the first adaption suffers from is Gregory Peck. Not saying he's bad, but he was a big name and I suspect the filmmakers warped the film around him.
I was thinking that was the reason Robert Mitchum got so much more screen time than the villain of the book. "We're paying to have Robert Mitchum in this movie! We're god damn gonna use him!"
Imagine someone threatening to sexually assault your child, shooting your other child, and poisoning your dog, and your just like "well, the law is important and shouldn't be broken."
I haven't read the book, but I think what's so terrifying to me about Mitchum's performance is just how cool and laid-back he is about it all. He's making everyone scared, and he's holding the cards.
I'll be honest, with the amount of times that cat seems to distract you during filming, it's impressive you keep such a level tone. Most people would sound at least a bit annoyed. Good on you for being a patient pet owner.
Kids haven't fully developed empathy or compassion yet, which combined with the lack of impulse control, is why all-powerful child(like) characters are always so concerning, you have to get them to listen to you with their brand of logic.
This movie's remake did something very interesting, though, in having the villain be furious because the protagonist, still a lawyer, cheated during the trial to asure a guilty verdict. We spend the story thinking it ia just a crazy psychopath being paranoid but... nope. The lawyer DID cheat because (and that is the VERY interesting and unfortunately still contrmporary part) the woman the criminal raped had an active sex life and the lawyer knew, with 100% certainty, that if that information came up, the rapist would walk free and the survivor would be condemned by society as the instigator of the crime. That was... surprisingly... well...
@@whyjay9959 Oh, it is. A teenage girl's rapist walked free a few months ago off the "evidence" that she was wearing lacy underwear at the time so clearly "wanted it." Rape shield laws may as well be written on a napkin and thrown into a lake for all the good they do. Protagonist was absolutely right about that.
Having neither read or watched either version, that sounds like it goes against the original point the author was going for? If he wanted to show that even the staunchest champion of civilisation and the law will abandon his moral compass when forced into a corner, then it seems like allowing said champion of the law to have already proven himself more than willing to subvert the letter of the law (even if arguably to serve the spirit of it) would completely invalidate that message. Not that I think it was a bad thing for Bowden to do, by any means (and if the filmmakers presented it in such a way as to shine a light on this very real and still very pervasive problem - rather than a simple plot device - then I commend them for that), but it does muddy the water when it comes to the themes of the story.
@@ViveMeorLeti While I honestly doubt that it was intentional, the remake does have some interesting commentary on the differing ways the law can be used with Bowden (who tries and sometimes fails to use the law as a shield to protect himself and others) and Cady (who successfully uses the law as a sword to attack his enemies with).
The remake is a more interestingfilm for me. Questioning if the law itself is morally right was a nice modernization of the concept. And sure enough, the law has changed since the film was released.
The law actually changes every couple of days and weeks. I went to law school and it changes so often that our textbooks become outdated during each semester.
I agree, though I thought it was weird that they changed Bowden’s profession from prosecutor to defense lawyer since prosecutor’s are much more used to having the law “on their side”

I thought Robert Mitchum being good looking and rather charming made him even more menacing, because it made him feel even more dangerous. It felt like he was hiding in plain sight.
I agree. And for the same reason, I hated the 1991 remake because DeNiro was too OTT and campy in his portrayal, covered in tattoos and drawling out his lines with that atrocious Southern accent.

The best part about this channel is the wide variety of books you cover. It's easy to watch films of any genre, as that's like 2 hours of your time, but trudging through books that you have NO interest in is like torture. I'm amazed you can review so much.
Considering Gregory Peck, ever thought to do a Lost in Adaptation about To Kill A Mockingbird. Adored the book, of course more than the movie. To be honest the book is in my Top Five books ever.
Trivia from the 1962 film: "According to Robert Mitchum, during the filming of the final fight scene between him and Gregory Peck, Peck once accidentally punched him for real. Mitchum, knowing that Peck didn't mean to and ever the professional, refused to break character and continued filming the scene. However, upon entering his trailer, Mitchum said that he "literally collapsed" due to the impact of the punch and said that he felt it for days afterwards. Mitchum said, "I don't feel sorry for anyone dumb enough who picks a fight with him (Peck)."
Based on what I can find there's nothing in the Hays code that says a hero can't kill the villain, just that the intention must be "handled with care" even when it was originally penned. So Bowden could have easily just shot him even when the code was at its strongest effect, but not be specific and gruesome about it, and it would have been fine. Just a guy falling over grabbing his where the shot should have been and losing his body as it falls in the water or something.
Honestly, your content and creativity is amazing! You make me want to read so many books it will probably bankrupt me eventually..Love the bloopers at the end
Ah yes, the times when absolutely everybody was wearing suits no matter how hot it is. Also everybody wore hats. I can get behind the second one way more.
Hats keep the sun off your hair or keep your head warm depending on the fabric and design, so I can easily defend wearing hats, but not so much suits. Although a suit that is not polyester but wool or linen is actually fine in hot weather. My mother got married in a heat wave in a woolen suit. :)

Those books were so good. I still have most of them. Might be missing a few. The author might not even be alive now. He did have a stroke or something 10-15 years ago.
Same, I saw the movie when I was younger but really had a hard time understanding the plot points involving people outside the main character and his wife.
After hearing how much they change from book to movie it now makes sense that during the screenplay building Hitchcock jumped out due to “disagreements”. They basically neutered the entire purpose of the movie all together.🤦🏾♀️
A delightfully informative comparison as always - thank you Dominic! Thank you as well to the Beautiful Watchers for the fun commentary, especially all those jokes to fill many rake sized holes of the heart
I watched the re-make Cape Fear movie randomly on TV one night when I was in highschool...and man...the scene with Juliette Lewis and Robert DeNiro where he pretends to be her drama teacher was so disturbing and very confusing to me as a repressed teenager. I knew something going on was super wrong, but growing up int he Bible Belt, I wasn't quite sure why it seemed so sexual.
Hi Dom I recently found your channel when I saw your review/comparison to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and its two film adaptations. I find your reviews well thought out and pretty darn hilarious, I’ve been checking out certain videos and they’re great. Keep up the good work. 😊
Maybe you don't want to read that the bloopers are my favorite part....But the bloopers are my favorite part. They are the reward for staying until the end. Like a surprise dessert.
I guess because mob movies were popular at the time, they must've wanted to change Cady from being what was essentially a precursor to Slasher villains to a mobster-esque mastermind to offer more style to the movie. If you were to find a movie with suggestions of civilization and its limits when faced with overwhelming fear and danger, I'd point to The Hills Have Eyes.
My family owns both versions of the film on DVD and my dad and I watched them back to back. We were both really impressed by the original black and white version. While Scorsese’s version does have more iconic scenes, i thought the original was more well made
Hey Dom! Love your channel. Have you ever thought about making a Lost in Adaptation of _Howl's Moving Castle?_ :) It's so wildly different, yet both the original book by Diana Wynn Jones and the Japanese animated film by Studio Ghibli are their own little works of art. In case you've never read anything by Jones, I think you might really like it. It's a children's book, sure, but it's really funny and endearingly wacky, her style reminds me a lot of Terry Pratchett. Keep up the great work. Hope you have a wonderful day!
@@efoxkitsune9493 Unfortunately, it couldn't be kept publicly available, because Japanese copyright laws are far stricter than in most other nations.

@@moviemaestro800 Wow, I didn't know that. Weird, considering just how many anime clips and analysis videos are here on youtube... Well, it's a shame..

On the one hand, I like that we've come so far stories like this are no longer applicable to our society. But there really aren't any popular stories that capture the modern struggle between society and our roots, at least not in the same way. So it is a little bittersweet to look back at stuff like this.
An interesting way to do a new remake would be to take out the husband. Single working mother of three is confronted by a violent rapist her husband testified against years ago. Her husband died recently from an unrelated accident. Not believed when she goes to the police, and unable to deter him using other methods, she must now use violence to defend her family. I'd watch it, if it was done right.
I was so confused at the start, because I only knew of the '91 movie with Robert DeNiro (?). Excellent write up, Dominic. The bloopers and sketches are hilarious as usual.
Simpsons did it! Couldn’t resist on that one. This whole Hays Code business makes me think that people who say everyone is too sensitive these days look even worse.
I have only seen the 91 version, but it is awesome! One of my favorite psychological horror storys. The growing desperation of a decent man who has once compromised himself and is now way out of his depth. The helplessness. The dumb schemes that do nothing, or makes his situation worse. And the smoldering menace just radiating out of De Niro. It deserves its place on the shelf, right between Repulsion and Truman Show.

I was just thinking its been awhile and then this video posted!
An interesting way to do a new remake would be to take out the husband. Single working mother of three is confronted by a violent rapist her husband testified against years ago. Her husband died recently from an unrelated accident. Not believed when she goes to the police, and unable to deter him using other methods, she must now use violence to defend her family. I'd watch it, if it was done right.
Your cat is so stinking cute!!! I really enjoyed your outtakes and the thing where u misread 11 as ham made me laugh out loud.
the outtakes are everything!!
I was so confused at the start, because I only knew of the '91 movie with Robert DeNiro (?). Excellent write up, Dominic. The bloopers and sketches are hilarious as usual.
I love Cady in the book. He barely appears but the characters he terrifies reminds you of how dangerous and intelligent he is.
Wow. Didn’t even know this was a book.
I'm interested in reading the book now. At least to see what to avoid and what to improve on. Thank you so much for the introduction.
Simpsons did it! Couldn’t resist on that one. This whole Hays Code business makes me think that people who say everyone is too sensitive these days look even worse.
I’ve become addicted to watching these videos, I want a “Jumper lost in adaptation”
Love the vid Dom your definitely my favorite Channel keep up the hard work!
still waiting for phantom .. when are we getting phantom .. it was in the preview that i can't find anywhere now
No ThankYou
Phantom of the Opera, or ‘Ghost Who Walks’ Phantom?
@@OcarinaSapphr- phantom of the opera at royal albert hall
your digs at the algorithm are always really good
A different Robert Mitchum film adaptation, The Night of the Hunter, also casts him as a sociopathic killer.
I like the addition of bloopers
I have only seen the 91 version, but it is awesome! One of my favorite psychological horror storys.
The growing desperation of a decent man who has once compromised himself and is now way out of his depth. The helplessness. The dumb schemes that do nothing, or makes his situation worse. And the smoldering menace just radiating out of De Niro.
It deserves its place on the shelf, right between Repulsion and Truman Show.
Love the bloopers!!
All hail the algorithm.
Great adaptation comparison video!
Nicely done.
I love your LiA videos, but I do love bloopers too. And hey, it's a great way to keep people like me watching right to the end :D
After watching your bloopers, I really wish I could like this video more than once.
