Re: The Last Film You Saw
Morbid as in dark…but yes it involves some ambiguity as well.
Well there are theories…no absolutes, just speculation…that certain nursery rhymes have morbid backgrounds. For instance, “Ring around the rosies, a pocket full of posies” might be based on the Black Death. “Mary, Mary quite contrary” is said to be based on Queen Mary’s persecution of people who didn’t convert to her religion.
The more cheerier version of the fairytales as we know them today and especially through Disney movies…are nothing like the original versions. For instance, in the original Cinderella…the stepsisters cut off their toes to make the glass slipper fit.
