Pantofii roșii -The red shoes

Nu știam povestea pantofilor roșii despre care e vorba în episodul 2 din serialul sud-coreean ”Is OK to not be OK”. Vă voi povesti mai jos despre ce vorba dar mai întâi o să vă arăt pantofii purtați de actriță în serial și o scenă din acel episod:

Fotografia aceasta, a artistei Elena Mikhailova, mi-a amintit de episodul 2 din serialul ”Is Ok not to be Ok” în care eroina amintește de povestea lui Hans Christian Andersen ”The Red Shoes”

E vorba despre o fată săracă dar foarte vanitoasă care a fost adoptată de o familie săracă și a primit în dar niște pantofi roșii luxoși în locul celor sărăcăcioși pe care îi purta. Fetei i-au plăcut așa de mult pantofii încât a mers la biserică cu ei, deși mama i-a spus că nu e potrivit să-i poarte la biserică, mai bine poartă pantofi negri.

Cum v-am spus, nu știam povestea și am cautat-o pe net. Am găsit articolul din Wikipedia dedicat ei și am înțeles odată în plus de ce ginerele meu, Andrei, susține că multe dintre poveștile pentru copii sunt de fapt horror story. Într-adevăr coreenii au făcut un film horror bazat pe această poveste.Povestea e lungă, vă voi spune doar cam cât s-a spus și în serial, anume că fata a fost blestemată să danseze fără oprire în pantofii ei roșii și ca să scape de blestem a cerut să îi fie amputate picioarele, dar pantofii au continuat să danseze.Iată povestea din serial, cum am găsit-o în Drama Beans (https://www.dramabeans.com/2020/06/its-okay-to-not-be-okay-episode-2/)“The little girl wore her red shoes everywhere she went, even to a God-fearing church. Once you wear those shoes, your feet start dancing on their own. And you can never stop dancing or take off those shoes. But even so, the little girl never gave up on those red shoes. In the end, the executioner had to cut off her feet. But the two feet that got cut off still continued to dance in those red shoes. Some things can’t be torn apart no matter how hard you try to do so. That is why obsession is noble and beautiful.”Și cum e descrisă în Wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Shoes_(fairy_tale)”A peasant girl named Karen is adopted by a rich old lady after her mother's death and grows up vain and spoiled. Before her adoption, Karen had a rough pair of red shoes; now she has her foster mother buy her a pair of red shoes fit for a princess. Karen is so enamored of her new shoes that she wears them to church, but the old lady told her "it's highly improper and you must only wear black shoes in church". But next Sunday, Karen cannot resist to put the red shoes on again. As she is about to enter the church, she meets a mysterious old soldier with a red beard. "Oh, what beautiful shoes for dancing," the soldier says. "Never come off when you dance," he tells the shoes, and he taps each of the shoes with his hand. After church, Karen cannot resist taking a few dance steps, and off she goes, as though the shoes controlled her, but she finally manages to stop them for a few minutes.After her adoptive mother becomes ill and passes away, Karen can't even attend her foster mother's funeral. And then an angel appears to her, bearing a sword, and condemns her to dance even after she dies, as a warning to vain children everywhere. Karen begs for mercy but the red shoes take her away before she hears the angel's reply.Karen finds an executioner and asks him to chop off her feet. He does so but the shoes continue to dance, even with Karen's amputated feet inside them. The executioner gives her a pair of wooden feet and crutches. Thinking that she has suffered enough for the red shoes, Karen decides to go to church so people can see her. Yet her amputated feet, still in the red shoes, dance before her, barring the way. The following Sunday she tries again, thinking she is at least as good as the others in church, but again the dancing red shoes bar the way.When Sunday comes again Karen dares not go to church. Instead she sits alone at home and prays to God for help. The angel reappears, now bearing a spray of roses, and gives Karen the mercy she asked for: her heart becomes so filled with peace and joy that it bursts. Her soul flies on to Heaven, where no one mentions the red shoes.””Andersen named the story's anti-heroine Karen after his own loathed half-sister, Karen Marie Andersen.[3] The origins of the story is based on an incident Andersen witnessed as a small child. His father, who was a shoemaker, was sent a piece of red silk by a rich lady to make a pair of dancing slippers for her daughter. Using some red leather along with the silk, he carefully created a pair of shoes only for the rich customer to tell him they were awful. She said he had done nothing but spoil her silk. To which his father replied, "In that case, I may as well spoil my leather too," and he cut up the shoes in front of her”Povestea este aici http://hca.gilead.org.il/red_shoe.htmlMai multe fotografii ale artisteihttps://35photo.pro/mihaylova101/
