A Bela adormecida e malévola: uma análise de contos de fadas adaptados para o cinema.

Abstract

This monographic work presents the study of fairy tales and seeks to understand about the importance to adapt classic literature to cinema screens. This paper aims to propose a comparative analysis of the adaptation of the fairy tale “Sleeping Beauty” to the cinema, focusing on the Evil and it also aims to show the existing variations in “Sun, Moon and Talia” by Basile, “Sleeping Beauty” of Grimm, and their versions adapted to the cinema: “The Sleeping Beauty” (1959) and Disney Maleficent (2014). For this, we observe aspects of diferences and similarities, taking into consideration that each language has its own peculiarities. Also, we wish to highlight the importance of the fairies in children’s stories, revealing a diferente perspective in perceiving the universe to which permeate these magical beings, from the retelling of the film adaptations. Greater focus will be given to the figure of the fairy and the role played by it in written and cinematic narratives. We understand the role heroin or villain plays in stories and adaptations. To do so, we used a search of bibliographical nature, based on theorists: Arroyo (1968); Aries (1973); Abramovich (1997); Zilberman (1994); Diniz (2005); Gotlib (2006); Paio (2006); Stam (2008); Coelho (2012); Hutcheon (2013); Bettelheim (2014). From the perspective of those authors, we can analyse in more depth the relevance that has fairy tales to the children’s universe. And, show how the literary médium tries to approach the filmic universe or distance himself, even though diferente categories. These two forms delight young audiences to the presente day with its fantastic beings, so called legendar beings, but that through the floor or through images passed on the silver screen, represent some of the values transmitted by the oral tradition.
