Customer Reviews of To Build a Fire
straightforward adaptation This is a well done adaptation of Jack London's story. It's also very straightforward so that you might not find much value in watching it after reading the story. It really doesn't enhance the experience of reading the story, but you might check it out anyway, especially for the narration of Orson Welles.
this is what I think of this movie...
We read the book and watched the movie in my English class, and I almost cried. Orson Wells did brilliant in narration, and Ian Hoggs, whoever that is, did a good performance. The story itself is a real tear-jerker, and I would definately consider this one of the saddest movies I've ever watched. A man is hiking through a Yukon trail in -75 weather, with a dog. He decides to build a fire, but then it goes out. When he tries to build another one, his fingers are frozen and he can't, so he dies a slow and agonizingly cold death. I had a lump in my throat! (but I just may be too emotional of a person)
Jack London Would Approve!
This "To Build a Fire" video can stand up to the short story. In its genre, it is just as effective. Of course, it helps to have the narration of Orson Wells! There are times when the accordian-music background can be distracting, but then again, I suppose it connotes the era of gold-prospecting in the Yukon. I am a high school English teacher who has shown this video for years as a companion piece after reading the classic tale by London, and just the other day, one of my sharp-eyed students exclaimed that he had noticed a man in the background just as the main character stumbles to his death at the video's end. Sure enough! We re-wound the video and discovered a definite technical flaw! A "Three Men and a Baby" ghost! View it yourself and see!
