Analyzing Marvel's Doctor Strange

Improved Essays
The film I watched this week was Marvel’s Doctor Strange, a comic book adaptation of the famed Doctor Strange character created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. This film was about an extraordinary surgeon known as Doctor Stephen Strange who loses the ability to utilize his hands and seeks help to regain the ability to be a surgeon in many ways finally being forced to seek the help of a mysterious being known as The Ancient One. In doing so, Stephen Strange gains many new abilities that change him and who he is, as he is shown that there is so much more to life than just the things he can control. Stephen Strange becomes a sorcerer and a protector of earth in the fight against good and evil.
This film was rated PG-13 by the MPAA upon its release

    Appropriations of successful texts often make critical changes to the original novel for a variation of intentions. These changes often reflect the cultural values of the time period and upon analysis the similarities and differences between the cultures are revealed.

Stephen Frears, director of Mary Reilly, has cinematically and creatively chosen to omit or carry on certain techniques, characters, plot points and themes from the original text in order to create a film that continues the legacy of Stevenson’s work yet remains engaging to its audience.…
