Why Timeless Fairy Tales With An Added Dark Twist Is Fast Becoming A Phenomenon

By Alaric Sowerby


When I hear girls luxury mattresses, I immediately think about "The Princess and the Pea," which generally seems sensible. Only a few fairytale have given mattresses a part. I may likewise include "Maleficent." It is a contemporary story about the wicked fairy godmother in "Sleeping Beauty," an oldtime story pertaining to slumber. Going over fairy tales like these with an added dark adaptation has become a phenomenon. Some are flops while the others are great.

The classic fantasy movies unveiled from a year ago are in a way, noticeable. Last time I passed by the movie theaters, I saw posters of films with identical titles from popular animated films and children's tales. The appealing trend started out when the movie "Beastly" came out in cinemas. It isn't the very first remake of a fairy tale yet the film to some extent made it easier for action fantasy genres influenced by folklore to flourish.

Because of the title, one would think that "Beastly" is a yeti movie. It's not, and worse yet, it's a romance fantasy. The film is actually a sappier, modern version of "Beauty and the Beast" starring students. The lead female character in "High School Musical," is as well the lead character in the movie. I did not imagine the movie would be really imitative in spite of the cast alone. I've been hesitant to see the movie for fear of individuals exploding into a tune. There was not any one of that but there were some cheesy lines.

I'm glad that "Beastly" only went for one hour and a half. It is not fair how poor stories get screen time yet simple fairy tales are not adapted into a motion picture. Short fantasy stories could help save the production team money and writers may lengthen the script with grim and gothic factors. One such fairy tale that's asking for a remake is the aforementioned "The Princess and the Pea." There is really a musical comedy film on that although it is focused on certain custom made mattresses instead of the story.

"Red Riding Hood" is a children's fairy tale but the 2011 film adaptation is largely different. This specific timeless fairy tale has been revised to be a dark fantasy yet it appeared to be weird and hollow just like a teen vampire movie. I've just seen the "Twilight" parody yet the showing of "Red Riding Hood" have shown that both are really similar. There is a werewolf on it and that settles any kind of constant debate. The film can be entertaining if you are bored to death in an unidentified faraway planet.

What I am honestly looking forward to is "Maleficent," the story of the evildoer this time. I have huge expectations for the movie. Even though, I'm happy to see the luxury foam mattresses the evil fairy sleeps on, the thrill focuses on the actor performing the fairy. I've come across the teaser images where Angelina Jolie got protruding cheekbones. That is enough reason to head out and see the movie. I likewise love the film title as it sounds like magnificent. Only time will say if this forthcoming new fairy tale is really similar to this.
