It is a valiant message that many movies have used throughout the history of cinema, and a message that is even more important now than it was in the 1970s. People aren’t taking care of the world in which they live and the animals are getting revenge because of it. That reasoning can be found in the opening sequence of the movie in which Pickett Smith is taking photographs of the polluted wetland. Whether it be the guy in the greenhouse being asphyxiated by poison, or the man running from crocodiles and tripping into a swamp, each of the deaths are enjoyable to witness in their long entirety.īut the most important aspect of Frogs isn’t the killing of the people. There isn’t a lot of bloodshed in the movies, but there is a lot of lead up to the demise of every character. If there is any reason to watch Frogs, it is definitely the kills in the movie. The extended nature of them with the overacting helped to put them onto another level of ridiculousness. The kills themselves are the perfect level of bad to be delicious. They overact or underact in the perfect ways to make the movie priceless. The rest of the cast isn’t as great as these two, but their lack of good performance only helps to make their deaths more fun to watch. He personifies that bullheaded “you listen to me because I’m always right” attitude in such a believable manner that you think he is that guy. Ray Milland is also fairly good as the patriarch of the Crockett family. It makes his role work in ways that it might not work in someone else’s control. He manages to feel like the outsider while also feeling like part of the group. The acting is not great but it is enjoyable the whole way through. When you watch a movie called Frogs, you think that the frogs are going to do the attacks, yet it’s all of the other animals doing it.Īside from that, I have mostly positive things to say about Frogs. It makes the name feel weird even though the frogs are the animals orchestrating the guerilla attacks upon the estate dwellers. The frogs do not do much for the majority of the movie. Snakes, lizards, alligators, birds… Even a snapping turtle gets in on the killing. They sit back and let the other animals do it the majority of the time. The toughest part to understand about the movie is why the frogs don’t do more of the killing themselves. Led by the frogs, the animals begin killing off all of the people on the estate. While at the estate, Pickett discovers that animals are fighting back against the family and pollution. Clint then invites him to the Crockett family estate to dry off and recover from the long day. When Pickett Smith (Sam Elliott) is canoeing on a water system and taking pictures of the polluted water, he is capsized by Clint Crockett (Adam Roarke). A movie that presents this message is the 1972 cult classic, Frogs. Sometimes movies like to remind the human race that nature should be nurtured and not abused. All of this stuff is nature and all of it is important for our continued survival as a species or as a planet. The lakes and ponds provide water for people to drink. Plants and animals are still the originating source of sustenance for the human race. Plants breathe in the carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. We breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. We hunted the animals and gathered the plants. As a species, we began as hunter-gatherers. Without nature, we would have no chance of survival. One of the most important things on Earth is nature. A group of hapless victims is invited to an island estate crawling with evil frogs.
