WEBVTT - Introducing: The Deep Dark Woods

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Remember those fairy tales that were read to you as

0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>your bedtime story, Cinderella with her glass slipper and evil stepsisters,

0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:12.920
<v Speaker 1>or snow White with a huntsman and seven dwarfs. What

0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>if I told you that those tales weren't the whole story,

0:00:16.200 --> 0:00:18.279
<v Speaker 1>that fairy tales have a dark history.

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 2>He locked her in this dungeon. He ordered her to

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.279
<v Speaker 2>do this impossible thing. He threatened to kill her multiple times.

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 3>That's one where Red and Grandma are just dead.

0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 4>And at this point she just had it. She takes

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.640
<v Speaker 4>the frog and with all her might, throws him against

0:00:34.720 --> 0:00:35.120
<v Speaker 4>the wall.

0:00:35.680 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Over the years, the stories have changed, been watered down

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 1>to the virgins we know today because the Brother's grim

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>Tails weren't originally for children.

0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 3>They murder her, they cook her, they eat her. It's awful.

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:52.559
<v Speaker 5>He actually jumps out of the window, and it happens

0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:56.280
<v Speaker 5>that he lands on some thorns that also blind him.

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 3>She sits his body on a chair, puts his head

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 3>back on it, neck ties the scarf around it so

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 3>you can't see what's happened.

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 1>The Brothers Grim's fairy tales had a history before they

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>were collected and written down. They had a history as

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 1>They've been retold throughout the years. They have a history now,

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>and every adaptation has something to teach us.

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 6>And these tales stay with us. They stick in our brains.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 3>The stories existed before the Grims. They will exist long

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:24.960
<v Speaker 3>after us.

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 6>Long after the last copy of any known book of

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 6>yours is writing in a landfill. The fairy tales are

0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.039
<v Speaker 6>going to exist. They're going to continue.

0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.560

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.800
