Thoughts on tv series and cinema
Downton Abbey.
Or the tragic misadventures of the characters in a cult series.
Among the successful television series is the British series Downton Abbey This is presented as a vast psycho-historical fresco that takes place in England at the beginning of the 20th century.
But beyond the comedy of manners, a darker framework is at work and of which the main characters are the victims more unconscious than innocent ...
Kaamelott.
Or the setbacks of a burlesque series.
This series quickly became cult, features comically Arthurian romance. The humor and the vulgarity of the episodes replace the seriousness of the Arthurian novel as well as the nobility of soul of its characters . Despite its original appearance, which contrasts with other series, Kaamelott does not avoid the overbidding of disillusionment.
In this brief article, I propose a hypothesis based on Aristotle's Poetics, to which certain episodes of the series refer, and the negative treatment that the script inflicts on the mythical object of the medieval novel.
Harry potter
or the disillusionment of magic.
This romantic saga and film, became world worship attracts only praise since the publication of books that movies have quickly followed.
However, a somewhat critical and demanding look at all of what, for me, is more a commercial product than a literary work, brings serious nuances to this murky universe of Potterian magic, of which the least is the it is possible that it hardly inspires me.
Maleficent
or the misinterpretation of fairy tales by Disney ideology.
What child has not once been dazzled by the magic of cartoons created by Walt Disney?
But what has become an industry today also imposes products that have long since ceased to be pure artistic creations worthy of ancient fairy tales.
One of the last Disney studios films, " Maleficent ", is the epitome of a tale that had already undergone ideological treatment when the first cartoon was released, and which has been further revisited by political dictates. correct and gender theory. This offers a film whose content has been totally emptied or distorted which I am reviewing.
