@mastersoto im gonna start off by saying this story is no where near the actual telling of Sleeping Beauty... but in rebuttal to you statement on making a fairy tale exactly as they are and offending authors.... sleeping beauty, the little mermaid, snow white, pinocchio, cinderella, alice in wonderland etc.... are actually extremely old stories.... so there really is no offending authors... and second the disney movies you see are actually extremely glittered up versions of the original stories.... the original stories are VERY gritty and dark and abviously not fit for children, which is why they changed from the source material, and most falsely believe that the disney stories are original, in fact Lion King was Disney's first origianl story.... most come from medievil campfire stories it wasnt until the German Brother's Grimm books that these stories were put into ink... you will be seeing more gritty dark live action fairy tales trust me....

Stop making this kinda of movies, all classic fairy tlaes should be made exactly as they are. Its a shame that directors, producers and writers makes distroy this classic tales. If somebody is going to make a live action movie from a fairy tale, try to make it exactly as they are.( timeline,costume, place, characters, etc.) By trying to please the modern audience they are disrespecting/destroying this tales, and also distorting the story and offending authors. Im very mad and sad for all this, I know Im just one person but I know there're many thta think like me. It's very sad that Hollywood and other film making companies don't have more ideas for movies and they end up doing this kind of films. Im sorry if somebody gets upset by this but I really feel I most speake the truth.

Her beauty is natural, undeniable, i wasn't surprised she hadn't starred in an art house dirty sex fuelled film in the past. but she holds such a great authentic and life like tone and fragility its just sublime, her performance in Sucker Punch just won me over it!
