Jumanji(勇敢者的游戏)is a story for children about a very strange game—a game that becomes far too real and frightening for the players. It was a story by Chris Van Allsburg, which was later filmed in 1996, starring the famous American actor Robin Williams.
The story begins in 1869 in New Hampshire, America. Two young brothers bury a box under some trees. A hundred years later, in 1969, a boy, Alan Parrish, finds the box and takes it home. He is unhappy that his father may want to send him to a boarding school. Alan’s friend, Sarah arrives, and they open the box. Inside is a board game. At the start of the game, some words appear:“Do you want to leave the world behind and go back to the past? Then this is the game for you.”Suddenly Alan finds that he is disappearing into the game.
The story has a deep meaning. Through his adventures Alan learns something important—if you face your fears, your problems will go away. Alan turns to face Van Pelt, the hunter who is trying to kill him. In doing so, he completes the game and returns to reality. Then he finds that his father is not going to send him to a boarding school after all.
In Jumanji, time is flexible. The film director Steven Spielberg’s“Back to the
Future”films play with time in the same way. Top scientists even tell us that time travel is theoretically possible now!
