FairyTale

Myths is something that relates the past to the present. Legends are stories told in realistic mode and contain rumors that made people believe it and most importantly the stories contains moral value. Fairy tales are usually passed down from generation to generation while there may be changes and also it is a way of expressing moral value.

One of a show i watched is the Myths Busters where they use their knowledge and technology to test out the myth that people come across and see if it really can happen. A few that i have memories of is that a pirate captain uses Cheese as canon ball and seriously it worked. The movie Wanted has a scene where they can make bullets curve when flying out and it has been tested as well and was busted. there are other interesting myth as well like making a boat out of newspaper and still be able to sit in it and go for a ride, what is interesting wasn't the things that the myths busters test out, what is interesting is when they made it happen.

Fairytale are bedtime story that we all know and well there's a movie called Bedtime Stories and it is quite interesting because the stories that they made up becomes real in reality. For other fairytale that we know of from disney are from other people's stories like the three little pigs, little mermaid from Hans Christian Andersen. From what we know is that three little pigs manage to escape from being eating but the truth is that the first two pigs were eaten and for little mermaid, she of cause didn't get to be with her prince charming as she turned into bubbles as she is unable to kill the prince with the dagger.

These stories arechanged because it's for children and it would be best if there are less violent essence in them and more happy endings. Everyone loves happy endings so for disney shows it always has happy endings. Well stories always has a moral and it only shows how we see the story, some people may not be able to catch the moral of the story for example the original version of three little pigs and the latest version the moral of the story is to do things as well as you can and build a strong foundation. well the one from disney did show this aspects but no as strong as the original story because we all know the three little pigs are brothers so they all know that building a strong foundation is important but they are just too lazy and end up being eating up by the big bad wolf but we can't possibly have kids learn about killing as this also serve as a bad influence on kids and that is why movies are rated as well like M18, M16 etc..
