IMDB # Rotten Tomatoes
This story is very different from the original one , it is an exciting and catchy plot. As a reader you can hardly wait to find out what happens next.
The Roald Dahl's variant of the "Cinderella" is like a reality show compared to the original fairy tale .
First of all the prince is more rude than in the original story and he is cruel with people who he disagrees. One of the spicy ingredients of modern films is violence, altogether with language ( the prince called Cinderella a ''dirty slut'') and nudity, as in the scene when her dress was ripped off from head to toe. In conclusion the modern version of Cinderella is a hilarious one, but inappropiate for kids.
Moreover, Cinderella chose to marry an ordinary man who was kind, simple,joyful . The choice was not a prince , which is very different from the original story and also from fairy tales in general .
Warnings about films ;
This film contains : - drug abuse/ violence/ language / nudity ....
JACK AND THE BEANSTALK
A huge difference between the original story and this one is the beanstalk itself : in the first one it was the way to fortune, in the modern one it is fortune in itself ( golden leaves)....
Continue with differences between the initial one and this version mentioning some modern traits , too.
Snow-white and the seven dwarfs
ReplyDeleteThis story is a little bit different than the real one. One of the difference can be that the mirror in the real story could answer at one question while this mirror could answer at many questions.
Another difference can be that in the real story, the hunter brought the queen the heart of a wild boar, but in the one wrote by Roald Dahl the brought the queen the heart of a bullock. On the other hand Snow-white ran into the woods and there she found the dwarfs, but in this story she went in the city where se found the dwarfs.
The last different that I found is that the dwarfs in the original story they were going to mine, but here they they dealt with horse racing.

One of the differenceS..He brought the queen ...The last different THING ...he original story they WORKED INto A mine...they dealt with horse racing.
DeleteLittle Red Riding Hood and the wolf
ReplyDeleteThe difference between the classic story and the original one is the end. In the original story, Little Red Riding Hood shoots the wolf, but in the other story the hunter shoots the wolf and cuts wolf`s belly to save Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother.
In my opinion, both stories are not for children because they have violent parts.
Otherwise, the stories are almost the same.

DeleteSome differences I see between the Roald Dahl version and the originial fairy tail are the next ones:First,the Roald Dahl version is more obscure and hursh,but with a happy ending.And the fairy tail could be seen as obscure too,but it is les obscure anyway.In the original fairy tail snowwhite black out from an apple got from her step mom trying to kill her,next a prince comes and saves her with a kiss.In this one,none of these happened
