Creature from the Black Lagoon

Boy am I almost a week late or what? Exams are hard but that's no excuse for slacking.

Creature from the Black Lagoon was directed by Jack Arnold and was released in 1954.

I must admit I wasn't in love with this film, but I was rather fascinated by the topic and how it communicated with modern topics at the time of release.

A big emphasis of this movie was evolution, and explaining how this creature may have evolved from the same ancestral tree that humans did. Scientists are sciencing, and the beautiful lab assistant is the one who makes the creature go haywire in the first place.

This film was filled with tropes and to be quite honest, I got a little bored watching it, but it is a classic  and for that reason I'd say give it a go. But frankly, if you're looking for a creature, go with Monsters vs Aliens because that movie is fucking funny, and I think the creature in the animation one-ups the original.

Sorry for being so bad at blogging, I'll pick up the pace, I promise.
