Oh my goodness, I love your new Tangled banner, SG! So pretty! :)

And Mewsie, I'm very sorry that your feelings got hurt. Please stick around here to discuss the movie. I'm not mad at you!

Why thank you MissReep. :)

As I said before, I meant no offense or intended hurt towards you Mozart. I was warning thee of the perils of piracy. :)
 
I think a spoiler warning should be put on this thread....reading some of the posts I found out that Flynn dies? So much for a surprise ending. :p

xD I'm sorry. When I began this thread, the movie hadn't come out yet, and so no one knew any spoilers to post. It never occurred to me to put a warning, but I'll go edit my first post to put a warning now.

I'm sorry that we ruined the ending for you. :eek:
 
I couldn't believe they would kill him off like that. I know in the introduction he mentions "This is how I died." I thought he was being saracastic. ;)
 
Mozart it is NOT a crime to watch a movie ONLINE. To download and then sell is a crime. I think some members here have been way too harsh towards you. That was rude and uncalled for :mad: They could have said it in a much nicer way.

On topic: I have not seen the movie but the trailer looked so cool. I plan to see it soon!

I'm not familiar with the original fairy tale, SoA (meaning I don't remember anything past: "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair." lol). I guess I never read far enough. :p

Does it really? I hate movies that start like that. It takes away all the mystery! Or most of it anyway. Sunset Boulevard started off like that, only it was the dead man narrating the events leading up to his own death....and he was already dead. Weird. But I loved that movie anyway. :D

I hath read Rapunzel by Brothers Grime not too long ago. What I do remember is that Mother Gothel is a witch, The Prince visits her Rapunzel in her tower, Rapunzel ends up pregnant with twins and is banished to some distant desert. Only after like ten years does Rapunzel and Prince reunite. Suffice to say it's a more mature fairy tale than Disney's rendition.

Don't let it dismay your euthisasim Aravis. It begins with such a line, but the story still has its twists and turns. :)
 
In the fairy tales over here about Rapunzel she doesn't get pregnant with a twin. The witch discovers Rapunzel sees someone and she cuts the hair and the prince get trapped, He jumps out of the tower and gets blinded. He keeps on searching for her and finds her in the woods in company of a twin. But nowhere it says it is her twin. She recognizes her prince and hugs him and gets married to him. Unless I miss something here we never learned or read in that story she got pregnant

I shall take a look at my copy of The Brothers Grime Tales. I recall the twin being her child. I shall get back to thee momentarily.
 
The Brothers Grime: Rapunzel Page 97

"The Prince lost his senses with gief at these words, and sprange out of the window of the tower in his bewilderment. His life he escaped with, but the thorns into which he fell...... So he wandered, blind, in the forest, eating nothing but berries, and doing nothing but weeping and lamenting for the loss of his dear wife. He wandered about thus, in great misery, for some few years and at last arrived at the desert where Rapunzel, with the twins to which she had given birth lived in great sorrow."
 
Thanks for clearifying that up jeff. In the dutch version they never talk about the twin being her children. They only say: There the prince heard her sing. She was in the company of a twin. They left that pregnant part out. Don't ask me why. Not that I disagree with leaving it out
 
After the twin. It means she got pregnant before marriage. She couldn't get married before because she was locked up in the tower so this means they were intimate before marriage

I wish there weren't mutilple translations of classical works. It drives me crazy how many translations there are of The Count of Monte Cristo and Three Musketeers! I had to buy two copies of the Three Musketeers, because one read more elloquently and helped me envision the beauty and splendor of France, while the other was more straight to the point and detailed.

Example:

The Three Musketees V1: "The soliders grabbed their armor, weapons, and gear and made ready for battle."

The three Musketeers V2: "The Soldiers put on their helm, breastplate, took ahold of their haulberds, swords and gear."

Edit: To Miss Reep

Again, Disney takes such tales and makes them less controversial and morbid. XD
 
Well yeah, despite Disney's stands on some issues (homosexuality, for instance, just to name one), they wouldn't dare take the real story of something like that and make it into a movie. They may be walking a fine line at times, but they aren't ready to cross it quite yet.
