part 353 whalers on the moon

[aphanon_meme]

We've been here over a year now! I can hardly believe it! Dreamwidth's been pretty good, I'd say, with almost no downtime to speak of and all that! Anyway... how is your spring going? Or I guess it's almost summer, isn't it? Hopefully it's been well! I've been catching up on work and new movies, all very exciting stuff, I'm sure.

Enjoy part 353!

“Into The Woods” Has Always Been For Adults, Not Children

[(Anonymous)]

As faithful as Into the Woods may appear to be on the surface — and at the risk of being cynical, it seems unlikely that Sondheim would reveal his true thoughts about the adaptation as this point — it will always be a Disney film and one, judging by everything we’ve heard so far, that is largely appropriate for children. To be fair, Disney can do many great things, including telling compelling stories and teaching worthwhile lessons. But how can it do Into the Woods without being willing to dive deep into the darkness? This is a show that teaches us that our actions have serious, sometimes fatal consequences, that we never really know what we want, and that we will always end up wanting more. The musical ends with Cinderella’s plaintive, “I wish!”
