Dylan Sprouse, the former child star known for his role on Disney Channel's "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody," has been captivated by the spell cast by the opera Turandot. Turandot is a three-act opera composed by Giacomo Puccini and is set in ancient China. The story revolves around Princess Turandot, who challenges suitors to answer three riddles, and if they fail, they meet a gruesome fate. Dylan Sprouse has been entranced by the captivating and enchanting music and storyline of this opera. The spell cast by Turandot on Dylan Sprouse can be attributed to several factors. One of the main reasons is the powerful music composed by Puccini.
You know you’re for a certain amount of cinema drudgery when the film is one of those low budget, no imagination affairs shot almost entirely on someone’s farm. Boasting a cast of about four or five people (one of which is the director who is equally inept in front of the camera as she is behind it) who can’t even stand around convincingly explaining the same things to each other repeatedly, Curse of the Scarecrow unfortunately delivers the tediously bad film its setup promised for most of the 85 minutes you’ll spend squirming with disinterest. Until the heroine decides to impersonate a scarecrow that is.
Finding herself cornered in the barn by the rampaging straw man, June does the least sensible thing imaginable, hastily putting on a flannel shirt she finds discarded on the floor, stuffing it full of hay, and then works overtime attempting to assume a suitably scarecrow-like pose in an effort to trick the real scarecrow. In this one the backstory leaves out the bride aspect, and instead of a little girl seeing her family killed by this thing on their farm, it s a little girl AND little boy who witnesses it, and it s the boy who stayed on.
One of the main reasons is the powerful music composed by Puccini. The opera is filled with dramatic and awe-inspiring melodies that evoke strong emotions in the listener. Additionally, the story of Turandot itself is gripping and mysterious, with a blend of romance, tragedy, and suspense.
