"Maleficent": witchcraft spells of Angelina Jolie. Scary, creepy

Many European nations there is a fairy tale about an evil sorceress and a princess in an enchanted dream. For the past 400 years, the legend has been retold under various titles about 1000 times. Novels are based on this fairy tale. The first one is "Perseforest" unknown author, dates back to 1527.

However, the most famous variant was the story of a beauty sleeping in the forest from the collection "Tales of Mother Goose" by Charles Perrault. Great storyteller wrote it in 1697.

Charles Perrault was the first to introduce a handsome prince into the legend, whose kiss removes the spell of an enchanted dream. So in the fairy tale there were three main characters: the sorceress, the princess and the prince.

About Sleeping Beauty

For the first time on the screen, the sorceress Maleficent, the princess and the prince were shown by Disney in 1959. The cartoon was called "Sleeping Beauty" and became the 16th animated project of the Disney film studio.

Disney's animated film "Sleeping Beauty" contrasts sharply with the versions classic fairy tales Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault. The main contradiction is that the German and French tales take up about three pages in total. The Disney writers needed to create an 80-minute movie.

The shooting took about ten years and more than $6 million was spent. The picture became the most expensive of all that were filmed at the Disney studio to that moment.

The cartoon got a decent musical accompaniment, based on the music of P. I. Tchaikovsky for the ballet "The Sleeping Beauty". In particular, 2 songs "Once upon a dream" and "I wonder" are based on the allegro waltz. It is the music, organically woven into the course of the narrative, that creates an allusion to the medieval life of the XIV century.

About "Maleficent"

Filming began on June 11, 2012 at the famous English studio Pinewood Studios. Most of the film was shot on the sites of this studio. For five months, six pavilions, several square kilometers of natural sites, as well as some other production areas.

For filming, about 40 decorated areas were created - starting with a small room 3x3 meters and ending great hall area of ​​464 m2.

One of the outdoor venues was an old castle - a copy of the majestic building, which the animators painted in 1959, was exactly recreated, both inside and out. The floor was covered with real marble slabs, and the interior used genuine antiques.

It took 250 builders and 20 artists about 14 weeks to build and decorate the site.

The scenery of the nondescript house in which Aurora spent her childhood was built on the natural site of the London film studio Pinewood Studios. The house itself was made of timber, and the roof was hand-thatched using the technology used by professional roofers. There will be no more than 1,000 specialists in the whole of Great Britain who earn such an exotic craft.

About fabulous makeup

The plastic makeup team was led by seven-time Academy Award winner Rick Baker. Several specialists have dealt exclusively with Maleficent's false horns and ears. Other make-up artists spent several hours every morning putting makeup on the rest of the characters.

Baker and his assistants sculpted three different sets of horns, inspired by original view.

The horns were made of polyurethane, a fairly light, but very durable material.

In order for the plastic overlays to exactly match the curves of Angelina Jolie's face, the make-up artists first made a cast of the actress's head and cast a plaster bust. It was subsequently used to fit the rubber pads on the cheekbones and ears. The procedure for applying complex plastic make-up took about four hours daily.

About fabulous costumes and spinning wheels

Costume designer Anna Sheppard and her team are literally handcrafted.

Angelina Jolie worked a lot with professional hatters, choosing the design of a headdress that would hide her character's horns. Six different hats were designed, including a summer python skin version. When Maleficent appeared at the christening, her horns were covered with a headdress that emphasized the unnatural whiteness of her skin.

Props David Balfour collected dozens of spinning wheels for the scene in which the king imposes a massive nationwide ban on the use of spindles. Spinning wheels - the only key element fairy tale, which was repeated in all variations, from the very first legends to the present day. A prick of a finger with a spindle meant for all the princesses immersion in a deep sleep.

About actors and consultants

Sam Riley, who played the werewolf Diaval, rehearsed the movements that should be characteristic of a raven under the guidance of special trainers. Riley admits that the hours he spent with the instructors were the most embarrassing in his entire life. acting career. He felt especially awkward when he had to run around the room, waving his arms and trying to croak at the same time. Even in human form, Riley in the form of Diaval had animal features - crow feathers stuck out in his hair, and there were absolutely black contact lenses in his eyes.

Played by Imelda Staunton, Juno Temple and Leslie Manville, performance capture technology was used. According to the plot, the growth of the heroines did not exceed half a meter, however, all the nuances of facial expressions were recorded and transferred with the utmost care. The visual effects team used 150 markers attached to the face of each of the actresses to convey the slightest grimace to the digitized characters. The fairies turned out to be very comical - with big heads, wide eyes. Many other proportions were also deliberately violated.

Incredible Facts

Perhaps many will be quite surprised to learn that some of the Disney cartoons that have been so hugely popular among children for several generations, in fact, initially based by no means on good and positive stories.

It may be shocking, but the basis of these very stories were violence, murders, cannibalism and other chilling events.

Original versions of fairy tales

It is generally accepted that Disney, by changing the original versions of fairy tales, made them kind and pleasant, and therefore more accessible to the general public. However, there are those who accuses Disney of unfairly misrepresenting the original stories.

Witnesses of his deathbed suffering are a cat with a mutilated paw, which Pinocchio had previously bitten off, and a fox. Both animals were hanged by an evil wooden boy.

Cinderella: original version

3. Killer Cinderella

In the original version: Cinderella kills the evil stepmother

Perhaps each of us is familiar with two versions of the tale about the poor girl who was offended by her evil stepmother. Cinderella by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm is based on the fairy tale by Giambattista Basile.

In Basile's version, there is another character - the governess, who at first is very supportive of Cinderella. The girl cries to her about her bitter fate and complains about her evil stepmother. The governess advises her to kill the one who makes Cinderella's life unbearable.

5 Little-Known Versions of Famous Children's Fairy Tales

The final part of the story is very similar to the traditional fairy tale. Disney did not change the ending of the story, since in any version of the fairy tale about Cinderella - happy ending. The poor girl, after suffering trials, marries a handsome prince.

And with Charles Perrault, and with the Brothers Grimm, and with Basile, a simple maid becomes a princess. Disney, who is an adherent of the "happy ending", did not change the final part of the story, but only I added positive and joyful faces to it.

So, the story about a poor girl with whom a prince falls in love was not always so harmless and pure as Disney presents us with.

Sleeping Beauty - original

4 Sleeping Beauty Is Among The Dead

In the original version: the sleeping beauty rests among the decaying corpses

Everyone remembers how in the famous fairy tale the witch cursed the girl. At the age of fifteen, the beauty was supposed to die from an injection with a spindle. However, another sorceress softened the curse by promising that it will not be death, but a dream of a hundred years.

The wild rose bushes that grew thickly around the castle became a thorny trap for hundreds of young people who, in the hope of seeing the sleeping princess, tried to pass these thorns. They all died, entangled in the thickets. They died a terrible and painful death.

Exactly one hundred years later, as the second sorceress had predicted, the curse was lifted. Abundant vegetation, which became the grave for many young guys, turned into wonderful flowers.

The Prince, passing by on horseback, sees Beauty. With his kiss, he brings her back to life. It was this happy ending that Disney filmed.

The original version of this story came from the same Giambattista Basile. And his scenario of the fairy tale was much less pure and joyful.

In his version, the king rapes the sleeping Beauty. In a dream, a girl becomes pregnant and gives birth to twins. Then she wakes up, but her life is overshadowed by the machinations of the evil queen, who, nevertheless, in the end burns in fire destined for Beauty.

Despite the fact that the end of the tale is also happy, it is hard not to admit that the entire plot of the story is filled with disgusting scenes of violence and murder.

Andersen's fairy tale The Little Mermaid

5. Bloodthirsty Little Mermaid

Disney made the cartoon "The Little Mermaid", based on the plot of the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen (Hans Christian Andersen). In this story, for the sake of the prince, the young Mermaid makes huge sacrifices: her tongue is cut off, and her legs bleed.

Mermaid endures unbearable pain in order to stay with his beloved. However, the prince marries another. Unable to kill the one she loves more than herself and her family, the Little Mermaid commits suicide by turning into sea foam.

However, Andersen himself invented his fairy tale based on another story written by Friedrich de la Motte Fouque (Friedrich de la Motte Fouque). His version of "Ondine" is more violent and sad.

Having received human soul, Ondine marries a knight. However, numerous relatives of the mermaid are plotting, thus interfering with her happiness with her husband. In addition, the knight falls in love with Bertida, who settles in their castle.

Disney cartoons pale in comparison with Soviet cartoons

In order to save her lover and his new passion from the wrath of her uncle, the evil merman, Ondine commits suicide by throwing herself into the river. The knight marries Bertida. However, Ondine returns as a mermaid and kills an unfaithful husband.

A stream suddenly appears near the knight’s grave, which is a kind of symbol that the mermaid and her lover are together even in the next world, and their love stronger than life and death.

At the wedding of the stepdaughter and the handsome prince, the evil queen dances in hot iron shoes, then dies from burns to his legs.

Perhaps many will be surprised by the fact that the Brothers Grimm borrowed the idea of ​​​​a fairy tale from the same Basile, whose version was distinguished by particular bloodthirstiness and numerous scenes of violence.

According to Basile's story, the girl dies at the age of seven. Her body is placed in seven glass coffins. The key to the coffin is kept by the uncle of the deceased, as the girl's mother dies of grief. In a dream, the girl continues to grow and by a certain age becomes a real beauty.

Cartoon hunchback

9. Death and suffering in The Hunchback

In the original version: both Esmeralda and Quasimodo are subjected to the most severe torture, then they both die

Hugo's version is undeniably more tragic. The enamored Frollo inflicts a terrible wound on the handsome Phoebus during his meeting with Esmeralda. Quasimodo then throws Frollo off the roof of Notre Dame. Disney toned down the story's ending. IN classical history beautiful gypsy was hung up on the gallows.

At the end of the story, the unfortunate hunchback goes to the crypt where the corpses of executed criminals lie. Finding his beloved among the rotting bodies, Quasimodo hugs her corpse. And after some time, people who entered the crypt see two skeletons that are intertwined in a strong embrace.

10 Pocahontas Was Raped And Murdered

In the original version: Pocahontas was kidnapped, raped and killed

The Disney film about the beautiful Indian girl Pocahontas was based on the notes of English travelers. The story covers the period of early colonization. Actions take place in the colony of Virginia.

When Pocahontas was very young, she was kidnapped by the British for ransom. The girl was raped and her husband was killed. She was then baptized and given the new name Rebecca.

To hide the pregnancy that came after the rape, Pocahontas is married to John Rolf (John Rolf). Together with her new family, the savage departs for England, where familiar things become a curiosity for her.

Two years later, the Rolphs decided to return to Virginia. On the eve of departure, Pocahontos becomes ill, she vomits violently. Suffering in terrible convulsions, the girl dies. Presumably, Pocahontas died of tuberculosis or pneumonia. She was only 22 years old.

However, according to another version, Pocahontas became aware of the plans of the British government to destroy the indigenous Indian tribes. The British intended to take the land from the people of Pacahontas.

Fearing that Pocahontas might reveal political strategies regarding the Indians, the British planned her poisoning. Pocahontas had to die before returning to her homeland and telling what she knew.

Probably, every girl dreams of becoming a sleeping beauty, who will be rescued from dreams by a handsome prince, as it was in the plot of a traditional European fairy tale. Book lovers saw a non-trivial story thanks to the literary edition of the Brothers Grimm and. By the way, these same writers worked on "" and other works that are familiar to both adults and children. The story about the bewitched girl migrated to the expanses of cinema and other literary creations.

History of creation

The tale of Sleeping Beauty was invented much earlier than you might think. Moreover, some researchers were looking for a hidden subtext. For example, there is an outdated theory of some folklorists who suggested that the thirteenth fairy - an outcast - was invented for a reason. The fact is that the thirteen-month lunar system was changed and reduced: thus, humanity “put in the center” not the Moon, but the Sun.

A familiar plot is revealed in French work"Perseforest", which was published in the XIV century, but Charles Perrault was based on a different source and relied on the plot, which is presented in Giambattista Basile's fairy tale "The Sun, Moon and Thalia" (1634). Basile wrote about the royal daughter Thalia, whom the court astrologers predicted danger from flax.

In order not to condemn the child to an unenviable existence, the owners of the throne ordered all herbs to be removed from the castle, but such a precaution did not help, because after some time Talia saw an old woman spinning flax from the window. The girl asked to try spinning, but drove a splinter into her finger, which caused her death.

The frustrated king and queen did not bury their beloved daughter, but ordered the girl's body to be transferred to the country palace. Further in the plot, the king appears, who failed to wake the unfortunate princess. Since this man visited the girl for a reason, Thalia soon gave birth to two twins, one of which became her savior: instead of breasts, the boy began to suck his mother's finger and sucked a splinter out of it, due to which the main character woke up.

Later, that king returned to his mistress and, seeing the children, named them Sun and Moon. Further, his legal wife finds out about the betrayal of the king and prepares for all participants a dish that is usually served cold - revenge. IN real history there are cruel motives, for example, the owner of the throne ordered to kill the Sun and the Moon and cook them into a roast "with Robber sauce". However, the story of Thalia and the twins has a happy ending.

Charles Perrault could not allow children to see rape and cannibalism in the fairy tale. Therefore, the genius of literature did the same as with Little Red Riding Hood - he softened the especially "acute" moments, and also changed the reason for the girl's eternal sleep to the curse of the evil fairy.

Charles' tale is surrounded by a magical atmosphere and ends with a kiss and a wedding, while his predecessor described all the ordeals that a couple in love had to go through. Also, the master of the word changed the queen to the mother, and the king to the prince.

It is worth saying that Giambattista has a similar moment in the work “Young Slave”, in which the fairy curses the beautiful Lisa and prophesies her death due to the fact that her mother will leave a comb in her hair. By the way, the crystal coffin used by the Brothers Grimm in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs appears in this handwritten work.

The "lethargic" fairy tale by Charles Perrault was published in 1697 and was actually called "The Beauty in the Sleeping Forest". This work received recognition among the sophisticated public, especially since the author adjusted the creation to the courtly literature of that time, trying to dress the characters in noble costumes of the 17th century. And the girls blushed from the phrase:

“He approached her with trembling and admiration and knelt beside her.”

Perrault did not pursue the goal of impressing the public, because in every fairy tale, even if it is children's work about wizards and fairies, there must be philosophical overtones. So, the main idea of ​​"Sleeping Beauty" is that the power of love is able to overcome any adversity. But for younger readers, there are other adapted storylines- translations by N. Kasatkina, T. Gabbe, A. Lyubarskaya and other literary figures.

As for the Grimm brothers, not one main character falls asleep with them, but the whole kingdom, and the fairy tale ends at the moment the princess wakes up. To get to know the Russian mentality, you can turn to the creator of "", who wrote "The Tale of the Dead Princess".

Plot

The classic story begins with the birth of a daughter to the king and queen. In honor of this event, a grand feast was planned throughout the kingdom, where all the sorceresses were invited, except for one: that fairy had not appeared from her tower for half a century, and everyone thought she was dead. The uninvited guest nevertheless came to the celebration, but she did not have enough cutlery, so it seemed to the owner of the magic wand that she had been treated impolitely.

When the rest of the fairies presented the birthday girl with gifts, the old woman Carabosse uttered a cruel prophecy that the spindle prick would be fatal for the beauty. But still, another sorceress softens the sentence, because the last word wins the argument: the unfortunate girl will not die, but will fall asleep in a deep sleep for exactly a hundred years. It is noteworthy that in the original retelling of Charles Perrault about the "invigorating" kiss of the prince is not mentioned.

Having heard the witch's prediction, the king ordered to burn all the spindles and spinning wheels, but his attempts to save his daughter are in vain: becoming adult girl, the princess finds an old woman in the country tower of the castle, who did not know about the ban on spindles and was spinning a tow.

main character decided to help, but she pricked her finger on the spindle and fell dead. As soon as they didn’t wake up the princess: they sprinkled water on her face, rubbed her temples with fragrant vinegar, but no measures woke the king’s daughter.

The fairy, who at one time commuted the sentence, asked the owners of the castle to leave the place and plunged him into eternal sleep; all around grew tall trees. The young sorceress thought that the princess would be sad when she woke up in a hundred years and did not see a single familiar face. So the fairy touched every courtier magic wand, and they also fell asleep for a century. The king and queen avoided this trick, since, according to Perrault, the rulers have business that cannot be postponed for such a long time.

A hundred years later, a prince appeared in the castle, who did not know about the current situation, but heard from a passerby about the sleeping beauty and what a brave young man would awaken her. The king's son galloped on his horse enchanted place where he saw a young girl. When he knelt down, the princess pricked by the spindle woke up. Consequently, in the original Perrault there was no kiss, because the heroine woke up from the fact that exactly one hundred years had passed.

• The composer also presented his own vision of the fairy tale, however, in musical performance. The audience is still enjoying the Sleeping Beauty ballet of the same name.
• In 1959, the film adaptation of the fairy tale about the sleeping beauty was presented by the cartoonist, embodying the concept of Charles Perrault in full-length cartoon. The main characters were voiced by such actors and actresses as Mary Costa, Bill Shirley, Eleanor Audley, Verna Felton and Barbara Jo Allen.

• Disneyland has a Sleeping Beauty castle built as a promotional tool. But the children's park opened in 1955, four years before the cartoon premiered. The origin of the castle was announced in 1957, because curious tourists were constantly interested in this building.
• She appeared in the cartoon in the guise of an evil fairy. By the way, this heroine has become popular and even deserved a spin-off of the same name with the title role.
