watching Pinocchio (the series[1]) as a child was always somewhat scary. there were some moments that I remember until today which I was really terrified and that gave me actual nightmares.
I'd really love to see a remake of the film (or the series) but for adults and as a fantasy thriller/horror show. It would have lot of potential I think.

- gambiting 6y agoSo I don't know if this is real, but what an incredible read explaining the actual story of Pinnochio as written by the author: https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/cyuy4c/z/eyv1pe3 https://www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/cyuy4c/z/eyv1pe3

Fairy tales as recorded by the Grimms are also generally dark (and folk songs generally filthy). Thomas Bowdler, LRCP, FRS (an inspiration for Orwell's crimestop?) was an english bowlderiser who flipped up Antony+Cleopatra, among other plays, which causes one to wonder what that melonfarmer did with lines like: "She made great Caesar lay his sword to bed: He plough'd her, and she cropp'd."

- moray 6y agoThis [1] is a TV series I remember watching when I was a child, I can't remember how faithful is to the original story (at least I remember it having a shark instead of a whale) but I remember too being scary. I am not sure how easy is to find it and if there are any English subs for it though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Pinocchio_(1972_miniseries) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Pinocchio_(1...
- jungletime 6y agoYou might enjoy Jordan Peterson's take on the story. Has almost 1.5 million views https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN2lyN7rM4E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN2lyN7rM4E
- DyslexicAtheist 6y ago> You might enjoy Jordan Peterson's take I absolutely would not.
- dang 6y agoOk, but please don't post unsubstantive comments here.
- DyslexicAtheist 6y agohonestly I felt like spelling out that JP is an alt-right dog whistle would be more inflammatory than simply telling that person I don't share their political views.
- dang 6y agoSure, but saying nothing would have been even better. Peterson is a known commodity. All the arguments have been made, and people have just been yelling at and taking swipes at each other for a long time now. Repeating that doesn't help.
- jungletime 6y agoDon't watch it than, Dyslexic Atheist! Let me put on my Sherlock Holmes hat....Identity Politics hat on. Since majority of Atheists are gay, and most gays are liberal. It follows that a dyslexi gay atheist, would not appreciate literature, especially a conservatives take on Pinocchio.
