Back in the 90s when I was way younger and had no problems to overcome, fairy tales were our reality.Waking up to a brand new day to explore the world of unknown.I tried talking to birds who'd fly away when I come near,challenged gravity inspired by peter pan and wore my best princess dress everyday to the delight of our helper who would be washing these heavy and complicated dresses. I was a kid,a dreamer and a princess in my own little world.
Then I grew up.Shrieked when my first zit appeared and bid adieu to my snow white flawless fantasy.Realized that the princess and the frog story will remain in the books as I experienced my first heartbreak.Nope!He remained a frog and will never be close to a prince.There were no dragons or wicked step sisters who could harm me but just the harsh reality that just slaps you hard in the face until you surrender to the unhappy complicated life.
This is probably the reason why many of the modern fairy tale stories in television and movies portray reality as a sad place where cursed fairy tale characters are banished.
One of my favorite series is "Once Upon A Time". It stars Ginnifer Goodwin and the hottie Josh Dallas as Snow White and Prince Charming who were cursed and exiled to our world forgetting their perfect past life.
Another movie which depicts to the world as a horrible place is "Enchanted" .Amy Adams and Patrick Dempsey are the stars behind this blockbuster Disney movie. Since they both dream of the happily ever after,they left reality and lived happily ever after in their dream land far far away from reality.
Oh fantasy,when will you be my reality..
