as ancient origins reported in its article “ the true story of pocahontas as not told by disney , ” the real life pocahontas was different from her portrayal in the 1995 animated feature film . however . . .
the 1997 movie fairy tale : a true story is an intelligent , subtle and compassionate examination of the nature of skepticism and faith during this very turbulent time . the screenplay quite closely follows the events of the historical cottingley fairy case , with allowances for some artistic license .

another reviewer here on the user - comments asks ,
is there anyone left in this world who objects to being lied to ? yeah , i do ! the main drawback , however , even more than the absurdity of the story , is that it is simply boring .
fairy tale : a boring story
would have been truthful , not labeling it a
true story .
to repeat : the headline on this film is an out - and - out lie . this is a supposed
true story
about two little girls in england who see and communicate with fairies - little peter pan - type beings who flutter around . give me a break ! ! ! ! the only redeeming value of all this nonsense and new age propaganda is some pretty photography . that ' s all the film offers , unless you are total moron and still believe in the tooth fairy and santa claus , too . if this was billed as a fantasy , i would have enjoyed it , but to tell me this is truth is ludicrous .
set in 1917 . based on the true story of two young girls , elsie wright and frances griffiths , whose claim to have seen and photographed fairies living in their garden set in motion a train of events neither they nor the great minds of their day could stop . the case elicited the interest of sir arthur conan doyle , amongst others .
tells the true story of eisle wright ( florence hoath ) and frances griffiths ( elizabeth earl ) who fooled the
experts
with photographs of paper cut - out fairies they claimed were real . their greatest champion was sir arthur conan doyle , who wrote an entire book in support of their pictures ,

this is a very charming movie based on a true story that took place in the early 1900s . two young girls claimed to have photographed
real
fairies and all of england was just electrified by the news - - and by the photos . even houdini and sir arthur conan doyle were drawn into the drama . the girls are charming , the story is wonderful and there is a very interesting spiritual element , all set against the background of wwi in the uk . is it true ? did they photograph fairies ? you have to watch the film to find out . but if you want to see the daughter of one of these young girls talk about what really happened , you can find an interview with her on youtube , from a brit tv show . fascinating . this is completely a family film , you can show it in any company - - but be prepared to have a family discussion afterwards . and to buy your kids a camera .
beautiful film . . . lovely story . good fun and gorgeous english countryside . the actors were well cast with lovely kids . loved it
this film ostensibly tells the
true story
of the girls who photographed the
cottingley fairies
in yorkshire . but the film takes the point of view that the photographs were genuine and that the fairies were real . in old age , the girls involved admitted it was all a hoax - so why does the film treat what they say as true ? there is a scene in which arthur conan doyle tries to convince committed rationalist harry houdini ( harvey keitel ) that what the girls say must be true - after all how could they , two young girls with apparently no knowledge of photography , fake the photographs and fool some of the greatest minds in the country ? houdini maintains , of course , that they have done so , however unlikely it may seem . it strikes me that what houdini says is correct and that this is a better story to tell ! it is precisely because it seems so unlikely that makes it such a good story ( now that we know the truth ) . my view is that the two little girls were hoaxers , but that doesn ' t mean i don ' t have an enormous amount of respect for their achievement . surely a better tribute is paid to them by showing fully the extent of their cleverness ?
a really great story and very well produced . would be nice to have it in blue ray . also , the sound track music is really wonderful and i would love a cd of the music but it is only available a great expense ( over $ 50 . 00 ) and is probably just a recording of the sound track and not a performance of the music . however , it is a great movie and so well done !
this was a charming story . the two young girls give a great performance . it also gives an interesting historical backdrop thanks to the characters of houdini and sir arthur conan doyle . after our first viewing , we decided we had to own this .

over the past three decades , the story behind the original pretty woman script—how it was dark , how it didn’t have a happy ending , how it wasn’t really the kind of property anyone would ever expect disney to go for—has been flattened out into the kind of narrative that’s literally trivial , a footnote in the history of a wildly successful and deeply beloved film . the most popular version of the story ( and the one that shows up on both the film’s wikipedia and imdb pages , tossed off as a minor footnote in a far larger and longer saga ) holds that executive producer laura ziskin was the one that demanded that the garry marshall –directed film have a feel - good ending , turning the film from a dark drama to another disney fairy tale—albeit one with a modern twist .
richard gere had broken out nearly a decade earlier in american gigolo and an officer and a gentleman ; like roberts , pretty woman made him a bigger star than ever .
excellent cast and love the inclusion of well known people like houdini and conan doyle in the story . kids went straight out the next day to build fairy houses in the garden so it certainly captures their imagination . a really good family film , just right for a sunday night .
few films affect me as immediately as fairy tale : a true story . it is visually stunning , excellently acted with star turns by peter o ' toole and harvey keitel . the story is engrossing and you can decide for yourself whether it is about a hoax or not , but that is not important here . it captures the period of the early 1900s magnificently . special effects are unbelievably realistic . apparently academy members never saw this film or it would have gathered a handful of oscars . the cinematography should have garnered an oscar as should the moving and glorious music score . i plan to purchase the cd . despite the title , this film is more for adults and older children . it would not hold the attention of the younger ones .

even though this is a lovely story , i ' m sorry to say that the girls , as elderly women , did finally admit that the photos were faked . the fairies were in fact cut outs from a picture book from 1910 , and the cut outs were held in place with hairpins . i knew they were fakes , as i ' m sure you did too . but there was still something nice about the fact that for so long it was a mystery to people and no doubt it still brought hope to some people , and sure did make for a nice story . i wish that it had stayed a mystery !
i had never heard about this story before , but was looking for a movie to watch with young children . they loved it ! ! ! there was nothing in it that made them be scared or worried , and i think they will gladly watch the movie again in a bit of time .
gardner , the theosophist , comes up with increasingly far - fetched , pseudo - scientific theories about the fairies ' true natures . to the comically nasty and cynical reporter , mr . ferret - who is one of the only adults who figures out how the photographs were actually produced - the fairies are a juicy story ; perhaps , he insinuates , part of a conspiracy orchestrated by sir arthur . to arch - skeptic harry houdini , who fought hard to expose the cynical exploitation of the bereaved by fraudulent mediums after the death of his beloved mother , the cottingley photographs represent a charming and comparatively harmless illusion .
swiss archaeologists seem to have solved a mystery at a famous roman site . they have come to the conclusion that some mysterious shafts at the archaeological site were used as a method of refrigeration .
some other sidenotes on this story : cinderella doesn ' t have a fairy godmother . rather , she plants a tree by her mother ' s grave and prays under it every day . she finds her dresses to wear to each ball under the tree ( there are three in the story , not one like in the movie ) . she is still helped by animals , though specifically birds , not mice . also , she doesn ' t just lose her shoe because she is in a rush . the clever prince covers the steps in pitch to make her stick to them , but she only loses a shoe in the process .
this is based on the true story of 2 girls from cottingly who said they had seen ' real fairies ' at the beck at the bottom of their garden . beautifully shot in a lovely location , this is a really charming film for all ages - i bought this on video back in 1998 for my then 4 year old daughter , who loved it . i fell in love with it there and then , not only for the film / story , but the most beautiful music throughout ( i have since bought the soundtrack cd ) my younger daughter is 13 and she also loves it . set during the first world war , the clothes , the settings , the whole feel of the film is very warm and nostalgic . a truly heart - warming family film . i shall be watching this film time and time again .
does a hidden garden hold the encoded secrets of the kabbalists ? hidden away in a cul - de - sac at the base of the towering medieval walls of girona , catalonia , spain , is a tranquil garden . a statue of a long - haired angel stands guard over the entrance , its hands clasped in prayer .
i have a copy of the script for that 90s movie , and i don ' t care for it . it ' s not a biopic , it ' s really a houdini vs . margery action movie . houdini chasing bad guys across rooftops , gunplay , etc . nonsense . at some point maybe i ' ll spill the whole story here . that could make for an interesting article .
i think keitel really listened to dorothy young . in interviews , dorothy is insistent that houdini is frequently mischaracterized . she says in his everyday life he very kind and low - key . i think it was true of houdini later in life when dorothy toured with them .
“i believe that laura did come out with the last line—‘she saves him right back , ’ ” lawton recalls fondly . still , he balks at the version of the story that says ziskin was the one who wanted the happy ending . “there was a lot of discussion by a lot of people . . . i certainly didn’t write every line or every scene , it was very much a collaborative process . ”
lawton’s original script still contains many of the classic beats and scenes that people remember from the final film , including a trip to the opera , a series of bad shopping experiences , and that fancy dinner with the kind - hearted businessman whose company he is trying to raid . the characters are mostly the same , even vivian’s best friend kit , while the character who would become jason alexander ’s stuckey is simply known as william . but the tone and ending are completely different , and it’s mostly a relief when vivian and edward don’t end up together , even though the story ends on a decidedly down note . 3 , 000 ends with kit and vivian on a bus bound for disneyland—that the film would eventually be produced by disney is yet another odd bit to a complicated story—with kit anticipating a fun day financed by vivian’s week with edward , as vivian “stares out emptily ahead . ” that’s it . that’s all .
roger ebert was born on this day in 1942 , and died a little over five years ago . i owe a good part of my success…
disney has come under attack for its plans to make a movie about an american dad who claimed african land to make his daughter a princess .
really disappointed will not play as is a foreign dvd brought this as a present for someone who loves the film but they can not watch it .
is a sweet , well - made family film with two terrific performances by the young leads and a memorable houdini in harvey keitel . happily , it ' s also a film that can easily be discovered ( or rediscovered ) on
it is strongly implied that the girls themselves come to realize the power of their own myth . once their story has gone public , elsie and frances are shown making a solemn
vow of fairy secrecy
, which can either be interpreted as a promise not to reveal the magical secrets of real fairies , or as a promise not to reveal the simple trickery that has accidentally deceived ( and comforted ) the famous sir arthur conan doyle and so many others .
i wish
fairytale ' ' had been clearer in its intentions . there are scenes suggesting the girls were sneaky deceivers , and others suggesting the fairies were real . what are we to assume ? that elsie and frances committed fraud in an area that coincidentally was inhabited by fairies ? children are not likely to be concerned with these questions and will view the movie , i suspect , as being about kids who know stuff is real , even though adults don ' t get it .
the deal is the same : the mermaid can only remain a human if she finds true love ' s kiss and the prince falls in love with and marries her . however , the penalty in the movie is only that ariel will turn back into a mermaid if she fails . in the story , she will die if she fails . also , while the prince remains a main motivator , the mermaid in the story is also motivated because humans have eternal souls , and mermaids don ' t . the disney movie leaves out that the penalty the mermaid pays for having legs : every single step she takes will feel like she is walking on sharp shards of glass . at first , it seems like the plan is working , but then the prince ends up marrying another , a woman he thinks is the person who saved him ( the mermaid can ' t exactly tell him the truth , since she can ' t talk ) . she is told that if she kills the prince , then she can simply turn back into a mermaid and doesn ' t have to die . she just can ' t do it , though . she throws herself into the sea , and turns into sea foam ( though it should be mentioned that she then becomes a ' daughter of the air , ' entering a kind of purgatory where she has to do good deeds until she maybe earns a soul , which will take about 300 years to happen ) . how ' s that for a happy ending ?
red sneakers , a more serious film from the mostly ninja flick–oriented lawton , then beget 3 , 000 , a dark fable about a financially destroyed america and the perils of showing the good life to people who had never experienced it before .
director marshall confers with his stars in a scene from early in the film .
they
were the true believers of the early 20th century ; theosophists , spiritualists and other wonder seekers championed by sir arthur conan doyle , who took the cottingley fairy photographs as clear proof of the existence of the supernatural . to a nation reeling from the horrors and devastation of the first world war and the 1918 influenza pandemic , the photographs offered a glimmer of hope
beyond the veil
; if fairies were real , then perhaps death did not equal the extinction of identity .
for the most part , the legendary figure’s core features are the same in moana . maui is still powerful , mischievous , and focused on helping mortals . in fact , many of the legends that are shown in the beginning stem from actual polynesian legends . instead of telling a known story , what moana does is take a well - documented hero and places him into a brand new adventure . however , there are differences between the film version and the legend many grew up with .
it is believed that pocahontas was born around 1595 to a powhatan chief . her given name at birth was matoaka , although she was sometimes called amonute . “pocahontas” was a derogatory nickname meaning “spoiled child” or “naughty one . ” matoaka’s tribe was a part of a group of about thirty algonquian - speaking tribes located in tidewater , virginia .

so vague , and yet , that ' s not a bad thing . . .
disney produced a romanticized and inaccurate portrayal of the life of pocahontas . ( urltoken )
depending on the version you’re researching , maui is either a god , a demigod , or an incredibly strong human who helped shape the polynesian islands . however , most legends claim he is a demigod . maui is known for his mischievous nature as well as his magical fishing hook , but he is often portrayed as a hero in mythology .
in moana , maui is abandoned by his parents as a child and raised by the god . though maui is often characterized as a demigod in many legends , he’s often described as the son of a god ( tangaroa ) and a mortal woman , making this parentage a key difference between polynesian legends and the disney version . also , in many legends , maui has a relationship with his parents and his brothers , even though disney made the choice to add the deity to its constantly - growing orphan club .
most people are familiar with the story of pocahontas – the native american princess who fell in love with englishman john smith during the height of conflict between the english settlers and the indigenous people of the americas . in 1995 , disney released an artistically beautiful animated film showing the supposed events that unfolded between john smith and pocahontas . although disney is known for creating fictional tales , many people believed that disney’s account of the life of pocahontas was a true reflection of past events : the love between pocahontas and john smith , the bravery pocahontas showed when saving john smith’s life , and the tragic ending when john smith returned to england for medical treatment . however , this depiction is a far departure from the actual events that occurred , and from the real life of pocahontas .
future learning and skills – giving everyone the opportunity to build a lifelong relationship with film .
a film with no discernable point of view that ' s directed at no definable audience .
a collaborative process that lawton , 25 years later , sees as only for the best .
another film off the list from the 1997 toronto international film festival , from the galas . again a movie that i missed when it came out and the only reason i saw it was because of this list . this movie is not only for children or adults with children , anyone with a open mind should see this , or anyone one who enjoys a movie that is just not another movie . set right after wwi , 2 young girls find and take a picture of a fairy , and the girls meet harry houdini , and sir arthur conan doyle ( the lost world ) who takes an interest in them . all and all a good clean family movie , saw nothing that would make me not let children see it . 5 stars alone for that reason . 5 stars for the acting and overall story .
that’s not exactly what happened , though ziskin certainly contributed to the film’s conclusion . and while it would also be a good , dark hollywood story if screenwriter j . f . lawton were devastated by the way his gritty drama , originally called 3 , 000 , was turned into the uber - rom - com pretty woman , that’s not what happened either . lawton was a struggling screenwriter when he first wrote 3 , 000 in the late 1980s , a dark drama that drew inspiration from films like wall street and the last detail . as lawton tells it , he was just trying to do something new to get a gig . “i was a screenwriter who was trying to get a job , i was unemployed and i was working in post - production and i was trying to sell scripts , and i had been writing all of these ninja scripts and comedies , and i just couldn’t get any attention . ” so , it was time for a change . “i suddenly said , ‘well , maybe i need to do something more serious and dramatic , ’ and i had written a script called red sneakers which was about a one - legged lesbian standup comic who was an alcoholic , and all of a sudden , i got a lot of attention . people were really interested ! people were talking to me . ”
although this is region 1 and you need to make sure you have the right dvd player to watch it with , you are in for a real old fashioned treat . a ' fairy tale ' in reality , yet the story is well made and produced with several surprises , especially at the end - no i won ' t tell . i love this film and will watch it again and again . the music needs a mention too . it is perfect for such a film and helps to create the emotional state needed when being ' drawn in ' to this film . acting is superb all through , especially bill nighy ( brilliant ) and tim mcinnerny ( equally brilliant ) . a film for children , parents and grandparents to enjoy , simply wonderful .
based on factual accounts , this is the story of two young girls that , somehow , have the ability to take pictures of winged beings . . . which certainly causes quite a stir throughout england during the time of the first world war . everyone , except the girls who think it ' s quite normal , are excited about this
photographic proof
that fairies exist . . . even the great sir arthur conan doyle and harry houdini pay the girls a visit .
still , lawton was convinced that marshall had a vision that he wanted translated to the big screen , and marshall concedes that he did – in his mind , it was a fairy tale , with a twist . the director recalls , “my vision was a combination of fairytales . julia [ roberts ] was rapunzel , richard [ gere ] was prince charming and hector [ elizondo ] was the fairy godmother . it didn’t seem like a vision everybody would have , but i did . ”
that sounds like the kind of houdini i have always imagined to be closer to the real thing . pity that hk didn ' t get to play a role in a more straight ahead bio .
is a wonderful movie and one of the best movies ever made about children and the difference between an adult ' s conception of magic ( i . e .
trickery ,
as embodied by harry houdini ) and a child ' s conception of magic as a natural part of the world .
there is one big , controversial change disney made to the demigod : his size . in most legends , maui is portrayed as a slim , coming - of - age young man with a topknot on his head . however , the maui moana presents is a hulking figure with wild hair that wouldn’t look out of place in a wrestling match . though this design choice has taken many aback and has been criticized for perpetuating the stereotype that polynesians are overweight , according to an investigation done by the new york times , making maui big was a deliberate choice . originally , maui was drawn to be much smaller and bald , but after working with experts from the oceanic story trust , maui became much bigger . the disney version is intended to look large and heroic , like superman . also , maui’s animated tattoos are a disney embellish , but his prowess with his magical fishing hook is not .

the two young girls give a great performance . it also gives an interesting historical backdrop . . .
this film captivates you from beginning to end and perhaps leaves you a believer more than a nonbeliever . the whole cast are a team of actors / actresses that take you on board their journey of the most realistic filming of fairies , filmed in a mystical location that will stay with you forever , in hoping you will one day see fairies at the bottom of your garden , with your children / grandchildren .
the script then cycled through multiple other writers ( including stephen metcalf , robert garland , and barbara benedek ) , but lawton doesn’t recall being upset about the changes . “i was thrilled ! that’s the other side of it , is that i’m supposed to be the wounded artist in all of this who painted the da vinci or whatever and then they slashed it . i was a guy who was writing ninja movies and trying to get a job . if you’re an architect and you design a cabin for the woods , and somebody says , ‘we want to make it into a skyscraper’ . . . the fact that disney came in and wanted to do it as a big - budget movie with a major director was a great thing . ”
so when keitel came to the project , he had already done quite a bit of research on houdini .

at ancient origins , we believe that one of the most important fields of knowledge we can pursue as human beings is our beginnings . and while some people may seem content with the story as it stands , our view is that there exists countless mysteries , scientific anomalies and surprising artifacts that have yet to be discovered and explained .
when i first saw the title and the packaging , i thought this film would be for younger viewers and that i ' d probably be bored by it . i was totally wrong ! ! ! what a completely enchanting film this turned out to be ! ! ! ! the story was wonderful and i wasn ' t bored for a minute . the two little girls who played the main characters were perfect for their parts . part of the plot suggests that the girls ' fairy photographs were a hoax , but then there are a few twists and turns that leave you thinking , maybe they do exist ? some visual effects were not overly done at all and they helped by enhancing the atmosphere and mood of the film . i could feel the fairy dust coming through the screen ! ! i * loved * this film and would watch it again and again ! ! a truly heartwarming , magical film ! !

i know we ' re here to talk houdini , but if you want another very funny take on the topic of fairy hoaxes , i can highly recommend the following : urltoken terry jones from monty python had a hand in it so you know what you ' re in for ! the sealed section is a laugh . i had a copy but gave it to my niece in recent years . she has both a liking for fairies and a well - honed sense of humour . i haven ' t seen this film but will have to ask the fairies to bring it for me now .
at the end of pretty woman —not the end of 3 , 000 —the character known as “happy man” ( played by abdul salaam razzac ) , joyfully yells to the characters , the extras , the audience itself : “welcome to hollywood ! what & apos ; s your dream ? everybody comes here ; this is hollywood , land of dreams . some dreams come true , some don’t , but keep on dreamin’—this is hollywood . always time to dream , so keep on dreamin’ . ”
there are two legends about maui that seem to remain consistent throughout the region’s mythology . the first is the story of maui hauling up the islands . details about this particular legend vary from source to source , but the general premise is that maui convinced his brothers to take him out fishing . while they were fishing , maui caught his magical fishing hook on the ocean floor and convinced his brothers to paddle as hard as they could to catch a big fish . instead of catching a fish , maui intentionally used his brothers to create several islands , which later became the hawaiian islands .

this weekend , the box office was dominated by disney’s latest princess installation , the polynesian action adventure moana . starring the sexiest man of 2016 dwayne “the rock” johnson and featuring the musical work of lin - manuel miranda , moana follows one young woman as she sets out on an epic quest to save her island . for many , the story of the demigod maui ( johnson ) is a new one , but much like many of disney’s iconic princess tales , this one is rooted in legend .

author seems to think disney was trying to pull a fast one . more likely they wanted to sell movie tickets and videos .
though the movie focuses on the hero’s journey of moana ( voiced by auli’i cravalho ) , the bulk of the story focuses on maui , a legendary demigod whose exploits have been told in almost every polynesian island . from the original disney princess , snow white , to tiana from the princess and the frog , disney has often based its leading lady stories off legends from all across the world . whether you’re looking for a cheat sheet before you hit theaters or you want to do more research on this gorgeous disney / pixar movie , we have you covered . consider this your brief guide to the detailed and varied history of maui .
the legend that comes closest to the story presented in moana is maui’s discovery of mahuika’s , the fire goddess , secret fire . after learning about this secret , maui visited the goddess and tricked her into giving it to him , much like how he does with te fiti’s heart in moana . enraged , mahuika viciously attacked maui with fire , similar to moana ’s main villain , te ka . in the legend , maui escaped by turning into a hawk , something that he is shown to do in the movie .

after enduring family tragedies , young cousins elsie ( florence hoath ) and frances ( elizabeth earl ) spend time in rural yorkshire , england , where they see fairies in a nearby meadow . they then snap pictures of the fairies , which suddenly gain international notoriety . author sir arthur conan doyle ( peter o ' toole ) announces he ' s a believer . magician harry houdini ( harvey keitel ) , however , is a skeptic . both join a media circus to see if the pictures indeed are genuine and if fairies are real .

pocahontas is depicted as a young woman when she saved john smith , but by his accounts , she was only a 10 - year - old child when these events occurred , and therefore highly unlikely that there was any romance between them .
i thought this film was a delight . i loved the premise that fairies exist and live in communities around us . it ' s not just wishful - thinking on the mum ' s part though that ' s poignant in itself . great performances all round telling a much debated story . the fact that the director portrayed the fairies as real is an amazing feat in this age of cynicism . i loved how harvey keitel underplayed houdini and bill nighy is sweet and hapless . i thoroughly recommend you see this film if only for a dose of hope ! before the two girls first see the fairies it ' s lovely to see things from the fairies ' perspective . then i realised that the fairies were being played for real and that was such a refreshing idea . i wish there were more films like this . i don ' t believe that fairies exist but if they did they would be just like the ones in this film .
sleeping beauty
: in giambattista basile ' s tale ( which is the actual origin of the sleeping beauty story ) , a king happens to walk by sleeping beauty ' s castle and knock on the door . when no one answers , he climbs up a ladder through a window . he finds the princess , and calls to her , but as she is unconscious , she does not wake up . well , dear reader , he carries her to the bed and rapes her . then he just leaves . she awakens after she gives birth because one of her twins sucks the flax ( from the spindle ) out of her finger . the king comes back , and despite him having raped her , they end up falling in love ? however , another big problem : the king is still married to someone else . his wife finds out and not only tries to have the twins killed , cooked , and fed to the king , but also tries to burn the princess at the stake . luckily , she is unsuccessful . the king and the princess get married and live happily ever after ( despite the fact that he raped her ) . perrault ' s adaptation of basile ' s updated adaptation of the story ( a much tamer version ) is probably what was used for the disney adaptation , as they are much more similar .
