Дисней сделал ремейк сказки об Аладине! Очень хочу посмотреть его в кино – как хорошо, что в Китае все фильмы показывают в оригинале с китайскими субтитрами внизу 😌
А сегодня #tuesday_reading почитаем о том, чем новый фильм отличается от мультика

Aladdin: 12 ways the new remake stands out from the Robin Williams animated original

🎥Movie info:
A street rat frees a genie from a lamp, granting all of his wishes and transforming himself into a charming prince in order to marry a beautiful princess. But soon, an evil sorcerer becomes hell-bent on securing the lamp for his own sinister purposes.

“We love the original movie, but when you watch it now, there are some things that are dated,” says producer Dan Lin “Some of the political issues and the way they treat women just needed to be updated for today.”

1️⃣The costumes are more conservative
2️⃣The original Arabian Nights lyrics that sparked controversy have been nixed

The verse that was slammed as racist was, “Oh, I come from a land / From a faraway place / Where the caravan camels roam / Where they cut off your ear / If they don’t like your face / It’s barbaric, but hey, it’s home.”
3️⃣That cringeworthy moment when Jasmine becomes a sexual slave was cut
Thankfully, we don’t have to watch Scott reduce herself to this original Disney scene. In the 1992 film, Jafar takes Jasmine against her will, as he attempts to forcibly make her his wife. She appears to give in, using powers of seduction to distract Jafar – and even kisses him – to help Aladdin sneak into the room and set her free.
4️⃣Nor are there any dancing ladies in bikini tops in any of Genie’s imaginations
5️⃣In fact, Genie becomes more family-oriented, and his storyline bookends the film

It was important for the producers to continue the Middle Eastern tradition of having a story within a story. But instead of a shopkeeper narrating Aladdin’s journey, a human version of Will Smith’s Genie introduces viewers to Agrabah’s infamous “street rat.”
