Into the Woods

05:18:00

Were you fond of fairy tales as a child? Don't you think that they taught you the wrong lessons? Was your childhood obsessed with princesses, magic fairies, happy ever afters and you grew up surprised that happy endings are ultimately a figment of hopeful imagination? There is no fairy godmother who turns your mortgage into a lotto prize. Your prince charming would rather leave you for a younger model or simply grow old than offer you his castle, carriage, and horses. Is it better to find a magic wand which turns everything into gold than work hard on it and achieve it by yourself? Is it wiser to switch one dependence (parents' house) to another (husband's house) rather than individually decide on your life choices and preferences? Is it worth to devote everything for the sake of one dream, neither fully grasping its consequences nor entirely understanding its price? Why fairy tales have so little do to with reality and why some decide to break the stereotypes encoded in a childlike good night tale? Into the Woods.

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.
