LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD SKY HOW TO
His story is that of the young man learning to leave the nest, exploring the adventures and dangers the world has to offer, and eventually learning how to take care of himself, how to take responsibility for his actions, and how to land on his own two feet. Unfortunately, this appreciation is short-lived after the Giant’s Wife kills his mother, abruptly putting an end to his childhood and beginning his adult life. Jack, meanwhile, begins the story as a young man with only a cow for a friend still living at home with his overbearing mother, only to go on a fantastic and terrifying journey into the world of the giants which gives him a new appreciation of his sheltered childhood. If you’ve never seen the Wolf’s original costume, he’s quite well, *ahem*, endowed. “Isn’t it nice to know a lot? And a little bit… not.” It’s a complex time in any young woman’s life, and the song encapsulates it wonderfully. The number itself is an allegory for young women growing up and leaving behind childhood innocence and realizing that they have reached an age where men may find them, well, desirable. “And though scary is exciting, nice is different than good.” She later sings “I Know Things Now”, reflecting on her experiences with the Wolf which were both frightening and exciting, and how her view of the world has been forever changed as a result. The entire interaction plays out like an older man seducing a young woman away from “the path,” if you know what I mean. Red Riding Hood’s Act 1 sees her head into the woods to Granny’s house and encounters the Wolf on her way who seduces her into “straying from the path”, tempting her with forbidden fantasies of roads not taken and pretty flowers. Let’s take a brief look at the journeys of these two young characters. I’m aware that this adaptation came out in 2014 and I’m about 6 ½ years too late, but I didn’t have a platform like this then, so I have to say it now. Here we come to the soapbox I’ve come to climb onto the film cast Red Riding Hood and Jack way too young, because it impacts the effects of their storylines and the overall message of the story. James Corden, taking on the role of the Narrator as well, but that isn’t the hill I’m here to die on). (I also was not super thrilled about the Baker, a.k.a. However, even though I was mildly concerned that these character’s impacts will be watered down without the parallels drawn between them by having them played by the same actors, I figured that the producers decided this would go over the heads of a larger film-going audience and went with bigger-name actors like Johnny Depp and Chris Pine. I was aware that the film has decided to eschew the traditional double-casting of The Wolf/Cinderella’s Prince as well as Granny/Cinderella’s Mother. I’ve held off from any serious trailer watching because I know the story so well and would rather just let the whole experience wash over me.
LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD SKY MOVIE
On Christmas day in 2014, I convinced my mother to take me to see the movie adaptation of Into the Woods. I found particular resonance in the coming-of-age stories of Jack and Red Riding Hood. I watched it endlessly, learning every lyric and analyzing the numerous allegories, nuances, and double meanings. While filmed stage productions have become more common in the past decade and exponentially more so in the past year, the 1991 American Playhouse filming of Into the Woods absolutely captivated me. It really brings me back to the days when Netflix Instants had a dedicated “Musicals” category, filled with such titles as How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, the 25th-anniversary production of The Phantom of the Opera, and the rare gem that is the original Broadway cast of Into the Woods. Like many people with a Disney+ account, I have been loving their growing selection of movie musicals.
