 "HAs
if you didn't already know, late spring is one of two annual
time periods, (the other being late fall). The usual big
television networks are rolling out their prime - time mini-series
competitors. A couple include "The 70's", "Jason and the
Argonauts", and "Arabian Nights". So far two of the above
mentioned have been showed, yet this article will concentrate
on only one of them - "Arabian Nights".
Combining a number of tales from the "1001 Arabian Nights",
ABC's version does the ancient stories the honor. Some of
the includes myths are "Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves" and
other alike. Previous films have been produced based on
specific stories, but this appears to be the first of its
kind mini-series, which combines a vast amount telling.
One of the wisest details of the production is the special
effect. Although not obviously many on screen, the TV-movie
has a number of computer-generated effects, which are well
suited and hidden. While seeming absolutely realistic, effects
like the magnificent palaces and even those obvious, such
as mythological creatures, fit well into the stories and
don't ruin it with too much fakeness.
In addition to the everyday positive aspects of the plot,
"Arabian Nights" is an intriguing product that pulls you
into a world long gone; yet never forgotten. The timeless
stories always find an allusion in real life, no matter
what the time period is and people can always associate
with the general conflicts as well. Plus, the audience can
get an unusual escape from reality, not to a world of the
futures where machines rule the world, but instead, to a
place in time long ago, when things were simple and myth
explained all. Stories covered the land and helped those
in need during a tough moment. The ancient "psychologists"
of story telling healed minds - we need more of that in
our world now!
