QThis thanks to the nice tandem of Fred and Wilma Flintstone, who live day to
day problems of all households, with their (sometimes wacky) ambitions and their
vices. In this backdrop prehistoric, a where cars are of stone, which are operated
with the foot, the needle of the turntable is the beak of a bird of prehistory,
the crane of the quarry where Fred works is a dinosaur, etc. In place of the domestic
dog, have a little dinosaur named Dino.
Them
inseparable friends of Fred and Wilma are Barney and Betty Rubble. Fred and Barney
Quite often, they unite with each other, to escape the control of their wives
and regularly bump into some mess. In most cases, are Wilma and Betty who solve
their problems.
There
is no doubt that their strength is the ability for the viewer to empathize with
the protagonists. Despite the prehistoric era, the anxieties and problems of couples
Fred and Wilma and Barni and Betty, are not very different from ours. After the
end of the series, the filmmakers tried different ways. Were produced a feature
film (A Man Called Flintstone, 1966, with Fred in the shoes of a spy in key musical)
and several films for television (in one of these, also appeared Thing of the
Fantastic 4). Finally, the two feature films with actors in the flesh, came out
in the '90s with some success, have confirmed that The Flintstones will also be
prehistoric, but they are never out of fashion.
