Babe

A detailed Summary of Babe


Another movie with talking animals, most likely means another big flop in the theatres. However, audiences soon changed their minds after viewing the live action tale of Babetm, the marvelous movie based on Dick King-Simth's children's novel, "The Sheep-Pig." The cinematography, editing, symbolism, and sound all came into play when putting this movie together. When speaking about Babe's character, the director said, "I am more concerned with having a sincere, unjaded character." (Noonan) First time director Chris Noonan, took tens of farm animals, human voices, and a darling plot, and put it all together to make a movie not only for kids, but one for everyone to enjoy.

Babe is a tiny pig who by luck, arrives at Farmer Hoggett's (James Cromwell) sheep farm, a picturesque spot in the country (filmed in Australia) with an ideal farm cottage and rolling green hills. Farmer Hoggett's plan for Babe, as with all pigs, was to fatten him up for a Christmas dinner ham. However, Babe instead wins over the hearts of farmer Hoggett, and virtually all of the other animals. Although, Babe learns and later rebels against the farm's pecking order. Canine's rule, dogs and sheep regard each other with contempt and any critter who fails to be indis


>From start to finish this film's cinematography helped the film to achieve a reality that few films these days have. There was a camera at every angle and at all the different levels of height in which the animals would view the farm. For instance, when the camera is trying to portray Babe's point of view the camera angle is always at a low angle. The low angle of the camera was to explain how Babe was in awe of the other animals and Mr. and Mrs. Hoggett. When Babe would speak to Fly or Rex (the sheepdogs) for example, the camera would get at an extremely low angle to help show the difference in age, rank on the farm and power over Babe.
