Wow now I understand why Albert Einstein said: if you want your children to be intelligent read them fairytales and if you want them to be more intelligent read more fairytales
Much like art it’s important to take into context the culture and beliefs of the time the story was constructed. These stories can be interpreted in so many ways though. It’s much harder today to understand them as we are no longer readers of symbols but readers of words.
I feel sorry for you. It's really interesting to some people (like me) but I get that knowing you're forced to watch it can kill all interest you might have otherwise had in the topic. Don't let school destroy your curiosity and talent!
So should we still read fairy tales to children? They are quite scary. I read little red riding hood to my three year old son and he was quite scared, yet wanted to hear the story again the next evening and the evening after that. I understand that fairy tales have hidden meanings, but are they good for children?
Depends, are you a desert cultist (abrahamist) or a European? If you wish for your children to get a European understanding of the world, read them these fairy tales. They will think back on them later in life and things might just *click*.
@@robindscarlet9805 I loved fairy tales as a child u don’t have to tell them the whole origin story 😂 but I mean even I remember reading about Hazel and Greta’s cooking the witch even from a young age I don’t even remember someone telling me is just something that I have always known but tbh as children I don’t comprehend stuff like that
There's nothing wrong with children being scared - they enjoy it as long as it's in a controlled environment. I LOVED horror films and fairy tales as a child. Wrapping children up in cotton wool does them no favours at all.
Perhaps the only modern example we have of a masterful storyteller, and eventually his storytelling disciples. Such is why the company, and it’s library of reimagined tales, remains important to this day.

Except he never said that..

I miss you and your classes so much, Dr. Duggan
Great talk! I know Anne personally and she is amazingly intelligent and witty!
Radical left-winger?

Nice translation.

omg anne you rock!!!
The real question is, why WOULDN'T you study fairy tales?
This is fascinating.
Let the story tales be fairy tales.
Well said Anne! What an amazing talk. It is completely different on a video :)
I have to watch this for school, Im 4 minutes in and it feels like ive been watching for 20 minutes.

Yep, initially not intended for kids. Suspiria tackles that issue.

After learning aboit their origins I'm not going to read fairytales to any children o.O

Did Charles invent the story of Little red riding hood? Or was it even more ancient?
Should we adopt rational thinking on fairytales?
Interesting
❤❤❤😊
👏👏
I sought out this video because it's a topic that interests me but...goddamn, that woman has Linda Hamilton arms.
Yes but I think that will be something very strange 😅😅😅😅
1:07 Booooo she said "Gaston". That's a Disney character. Why do we always default to Disney!??!! Grrrrrrr.
