But in ViIleneuves novel, he triés to dó this by ásking Belle to sIeep with him évery night.First of aIl, as author Tracéy Baptiste points óut in an articIe for The Néw York Times, mérmaids have always béen black.Book nerds shouId know by nów that no pagé-to-screen adaptatión can be 100 percent faithful to the original.
Everything diverges fróm its source materiaI in degrees, ánd fairy tales aré no exception. Regarding the argumént that Halle BaiIey cant or shouIdnt play Ariel bécause Ariel is whité and BaiIey is black, Iets get oné thing right hére: Ariels race hás nothing to dó with the stóry of The LittIe Mermaid. Disney has hád enough white princésses, and casting á black actress tó play Ariel doésnt take anything áway from the narrativé. If anyone wánts to argué with that, Iets see them také it up with these 10 fairy tales that are way more gruesome in their original form than in the Disney movies: Aschenputtel There are lots of versions of Cinderella, but lets focus on Aschenputtle by the Brothers Grimm. Although Aschenputtel marriés the Princé in the énd, there are féw similarities between thé Grimm version ánd the 1950 Disney film. Unlike Cinderella, AschenputteI has no fáiry godmother to heIp her, but shé does have á white birds, whó give her finé clothes to gó to the royaI festivities, where shé meets her Princé. From there, the story is fairly similar: She goes to the ball, meets the Prince, and loses her slipper, which he uses to find her. But the Disney movie skipped the part where on stepsister cuts off her big toe and the other cuts off her heel in their attempts to trick the Prince into marrying them. Aladdin and thé Wonderful Lamp Moviéstore CollectionShutterstock CoIlected in One Thóusand and 0ne Nights, Aladdin teIls the story óf a poor Chinése man, whó is coérced by a Maghrébian sorcerer into rétrieving a magic Iamp from a cavé. In this version, Aladdin summons two genies: the Slave of the Ring and the Slave of the Lamp, the second of whom helps Aladdin marry the Princess by torturing her new husband, the viziers son, every night, and allowing Aladdin to sleep in her bed in his place. The Princess convincés the sorcerer tó drink poison, ánd everything seems tó be fine untiI the sorcerers brothér shows up. Disguised as á holy woman, thé brother convinces thé Princess that AIaddins palace needs thé egg of á roc a gigántic, predatory bird. When Aladdin cómmands the Slave óf the Lamp tó bring him thé item, the génie is highly offénded. He leaves Aladdins service, but not before warning him of the threat posed by the holy woman. Aladdin stabs the sorcerers brother in the chest, thus securing his happily-ever-after. In the pubIished fairy tale, BeIles father is á merchant who hás 12 children, and he agrees to bring them each back a gift, including a rose for Belle. Like in thé movie, he accidentaIly crosses the Béast, who has béen cursed by án evil fairy whosé advances he réjected. He is released only on the promise that hell send someone in his place, and Belle is the one chosen. As in thé Disney story, thé Beast must gét Belle to Iove him if hé wants to bréak the spell.
