Pentameron/ Tale of Tales

07:45:00

Do you remember when you were little and your mother/father/guardian read you fairy tales to soothe you to sleep? The effect might have been opposite as fables are dense in cruelty, murder, surprising outcomes and bad family patterns. After reading some of them you might have been wide awake. Fairy tales contain wisdom very few are able to surpass, they teach you about abusive parents, silly kings, naive princesses; they highlight the importance of friendship, love, sisterhood, and brotherhood. Stories depict the tragic consequences of human fragile nature and mistakes caused by desire. Besides wisdom, they take you to the realm of magic, where mythical creatures mix with ordinary humans. There is still something so appealing in the stories that we fall for their allure again and again. This time Tale of Tales. A story definitely worth falling for.

On the nature of pictures

*Every Google image belongs to someone and this someone should be noted. However, if pictures are scenes from the film they most probably belong to owners of the film/producers. I use saved screens of the Google compilation of pictures, thus the pictures of pictures, which I take, cut and edit myself (as a derivative use). They are used for reviewing purposes (fair use), not for diminishing the films' profits by stealing what rightly belongs to them. Copyright is tricky, let's get used to it.
