After careful consideration of the movies I have seen in my
time, I have come to the conclusion that all those fairy tale,
Disney movies like "Aladdin" and "The Little Mermaid" comprise a
large part of my movie repertoire.
When I was younger, those movies were always interesting because
that princess was the prettiest and those animals could talk.
And guess what! Everyone always seemed to live happily ever
after. While they were all similar enough, they each had their
own appeal.
As I got older, I never picked those movies when one needed to
be picked, but I just happened to be walking by as my sibling
were watching them, and of course I had nothing better to do so
I may as well sit down and watch. They are a funny story, an
easy laugh and a good way to spend time with family. What fun we
have afterwards, imitating voices and repeating lines, it goes
on forever.
Being the daughter of a teacher and a life coach, I learnt
quickly that after watching a movie, we each choose different
morals and make decisions based on how we see movies compared to
our own lives. For children, fairy tales help clarify important
points and alleviate fears. They help to easily distinguish
between what is right and what is wrong, what is evil and what
is good.
All fairy tale movies tend to start with a sentence that is kin
to "once upon a time…" and they all end with "happily ever
after". They have delicate females who fall swiftly in love and
strong brave males that always come to the rescue. Ugly beasts
that haunt the woods and wicked step mothers are definitely bad,
and of course, animals can speak and will help in any trouble.
Sometimes fairies and genies exits and there are other worlds
out there besides our own. The poor and the good hearted always
triumph, and fears are conquered in times of trial.
In the past, these movies were a great pastime, an easy way to
entertain children by telling a story and passing on a message.
They were often legends and old wives' tales passed down from
generation to generation. These movies play a large role in my
opinion. They simplify things. They make every thing "black or
white," (so to speak), it is either wrong or right, good or bad.
These movies give the feeling that, yeah, sometimes bad things
happen, but in the end, it will be ok.
We live in a world where sometimes the evil person is not always
so ugly and easily identified, the princess is not always so
pretty and slim, and sometimes, the poor stay poor forever. The
good at heart don't always end up heroes, the fairies can't save
you and you cannot conjure things out of thin air. The dead
cannot be saved by will alone and muscles don't grow overnight.
Once upon a time there was a fairy tale movie. In the movie
there was a beautiful princess and her charming prince. They
experienced a great adventure and in the end, they lived happily
ever after. If only real life was so easy.
