Cape Fear– Two Versions and Two Visions Separated by Thirty Years

This article describes the changes made in the context of two very different versions of Cape Fear, which took place between 1962 and 1991. These two versions of the intimidated lawyer's story are symbols of change in the concept of law. This article emphasizes the tension relationship between art and its values ​​as a social thinker's role and role in the formation of social outlook. However, according to various explanations of Sam Bowden, a systematic decline in lawyer's position and public respect has not been confirmed in the field of movies. This situation is a moral ambiguity and lawyers play a more contradictory role in society.

These two events represent fundamentally different perspectives of American history. The official version we learned at school began basically when Mayflower landed in a small bay north of Cape Cod in 1620. On the other hand, in the native version, the emergence of pilgrims on the coast of the United States shows the beginning of the end. Indeed, the end of the Massachusetts state Indian was brought to the coastal area of ​​New England - a British slave crew accidentally carried by the smallpox - infected cow a few years ago - killed more than 90% of the local population It began with that. They lack antibodies to disease. (Compare this surprising number to the 30% mortality rate at the peak of black death.)

Gerald J. Thain discussed the two versions of Cape Fear (the first shot of 1962, the second shot of 1991) and the depiction of the image of the lawyer shows the contradictory role of lawyers in modern society. Michael Bohnke wrote an image of law on John Ford's movie. He discussed young Mr. Lincoln (1939), a freely balanced person (1962) with the searcher (1956) to explore ways to materialize the process of the Constitution. He considers Mr. Lin to be "a parade of legal ideals" (63), while "searcher" is mainly about customs of the rule of law. According to Bohnke, the third movie "faces two different ways to express different assumptions about the intrinsic quality of the law" (46). Matthias Cucina is exploring the cultural significance of the two types of American trial films - "Problem movies covering legal theater and experimental films that can take the form of social movies" (79)
