For an environment that has a clean and simple visual design, Night in the Woods tackles some heavy content. “Looks can be deceiving” is the best way to describe the whole experience. The story starts off with the player taking control of Mae, a college dropout anthropomorphic cat who is retuning to her home, the mining town of Possum Springs. She reunites with her old high school friends, Bea the gator, Gregg the fox, and Angus, the bear. The three play in a band together, go to parties, chat online… also stab each other in the woods with knives for fun. Yes, that’s right, they relive their childhood by occasionally reenacting old memories, which are certainly questionable when put in an adult setting. That’s actually one of the biggest aspects of the story: the growing pains and responsibilities of adulthood. Mae’s father was an alcoholic, but has since repressed his addiction by giving up the booze. He’s still seemingly depressed, though. Mae’s mother works at the church, but is often seen in the kitchen, attending to bills and comments on how adulthood is “stress by numbers.” These other themes are carried on into even heavier topics like the relationship of a parent to their child, the wonders of God, pondering existentialism and reality, and also the choices made in life because of the role of being a human being (or in this case, a talking cat).
I kept wondering, as I watched, how this could possibly be marketed to children, but then I reminded myself that I was ten when I saw Into the Woods on PBS. It really wasn t that enjoyable even without the sketchy content as they just ruined something that could ve been a cool way to tie together various fairy tales by adding a bunch of nonsense and garbage.
After using the shampoo, the Mane Magic Conditioner works to restore and replenish your hair's moisture. It detangles and smoothes your hair, leaving it soft and manageable. The conditioner is infused with vitamins and proteins that nourish and protect your hair from heat damage and environmental stressors.
Why “Into the Woods” Matters
For the past year or so, a certain segment of the population—musical-theatre fans who were children in the eighties and thought they were too good for Andrew Lloyd Webber—has experienced a punishing range of emotions about the new movie “Into the Woods,” based on the Stephen Sondheim-James Lapine musical of the same name. The emotions include anxiety, rage, anticipation, possessiveness, nostalgia, suspicion, denial, and dread. More than once, I’ve heard the show’s own lyrics used to explain how “Into the Woods” devotees feel about the adaptation. “Excited and scared,” as Little Red Riding Hood has it.
As a member of this small but fervent demographic, I’d like to explain why we’ve been so tense. Part of it is that “Into the Woods” is easy to get wrong. The musical weaves together fairy-tale figures like Cinderella, Jack (of the beanstalk), Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf, Rapunzel and the witch, and more than one handsome prince. Two new characters, a baker and his wife who’ve been cursed with barrenness, help to tie everything together. By the end of Act I, everyone’s wishes have come true: Cinderella gets her prince, Jack gets the giant’s harp, the baker and his wife get a child, and so on. In Act II, it all falls to pieces. A second giant goes on a killing spree. The princes cheat. The couple resorts to blaming and bickering. The characters question their original wishes and what they stole and whom they sold out to fulfill them. Nobody quite lives happily ever after.
In other words, it’s the antidote to Disney. So how could Disney possibly adapt the show without betraying its dark spirit? That was the question lingering over the buildup to the movie, stoked by dribs and drabs of paranoia-inducing detail. In a Talk of the Town piece by Larissa MacFarquhar in June, Sondheim himself seemed to confirm purists’ worst fears, telling a group of drama teachers that Disney had in fact bowdlerized some plot elements: “You will find in the movie that Rapunzel does not get killed, and the prince does not sleep with the baker’s wife.” (Only one of those things turned out to be true.) Disney’s tagline seemed unnervingly apt: “Be careful what you wish for.”
More than plot, what’s tricky about “Into the Woods” is tone. Lapine’s book tacks between farce and tragedy, winking at the absurdities of the original tales (How the heck does Little Red Riding Hood climb out of the wolf’s belly intact?) and then guiding their characters through calamity and heartache. Sondheim’s score is a puzzle-master’s trove of overlapping motifs, internal rhymes, wordplay (“We’ve no time to sit and dither / while her withers wither with her”), and psychological nuance. Few musical-theatre soliloquies are as elegant as “On the Steps of the Palace,” Cinderella’s deconstruction of the moment she decides to leave behind the shoe:
You think, what do you want?
You think, make a decision.
Why not stay and be caught?
You think, well, it’s a thought,
What would be his response?
But then what if he knew
Who you were when you know
That you’re not what he thinks
That he wants?
And then what if you are?
When the musical opened on Broadway, in 1987, parents would occasionally yank their young children out of the theatre in shock during the second act, thinking, They killed Rapunzel? I was too young to go (though, to my mother’s credit, she brought me to see Sondheim’s “Passion” a few years later), but fortunately Lapine’s note-perfect production was preserved by “American Playhouse.” The moment I first saw Bernadette Peters singing “Last Midnight” on PBS, circa fifth grade, was a formative one. It wasn’t just that she looked like a fabulous goth diva or her peculiar, warbly way of delivering punch lines. It was Sondheim’s articulation of the witch’s alienation and moral skepticism that was so riveting. Also, her hair.
I certainly didn’t comprehend all the musical’s resonances, among them the communal solidarity during the AIDS crisis, which at the time was stomping around the theatre world like an angry giant. (Sondheim has downplayed the AIDS connection, but it’s unavoidable.) Still, the show was a psychological bait and switch, a gateway to adolescence and its complicated truths. Act I had magic beans. Act II had disillusionment, responsibility, and loss. You got from one to the other through the woods, as good a metaphor as any for the big brutal world. Even the shifts in tone were a lesson: amid despair, a dry one-liner (“I was raised to be charming, not sincere”); after an act of courage, ethical revisionism. What I learned from “Into the Woods,” most of all, was ambivalence. It’s in every song, undermining prepackaged morals. (“Isn’t it nice to know a lot?” Little Red sings to herself. “And a little bit not.”) No one in musical theatre does ambivalence like Sondheim, and usually no one tells you what it is until after you’ve experienced it. Cinderella’s hemming and hawing on the palace steps is worlds away from “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes,” from Disney’s cartoon version. What if your heart doesn’t have a goddam clue?
It’s appropriate, then, that ambivalence is the overriding feeling I’ve had about the movie, even after seeing a screening a few weeks ago. Rob Marshall’s version, I’m happy to report, is faithful enough to please most diehards, without sacrificing the concrete magic that movies can offer. For the most part, the plot changes seem wise. (Come on, guys, relax about the Mysterious Man.) Meryl Streep is excellent; duh. It’s wordier and weirder than other movie musicals, as it should be. If anything, it was jarring to see the show's ambiguities translated so literally to a big holiday film, where they don’t seem to belong—or maybe I was just seeing the musical's flaws for the first time. Is the second-act massacre really deserved? I kept wondering, as I watched, how this could possibly be marketed to children, but then I reminded myself that I was ten when I saw “Into the Woods” on PBS. So now I’m worried less about the movie than about how the rest of the world will receive it—the selfishness of aficionados, who want their special thing all to themselves. Someday, the generation that learned about moral relativism from “Wicked” will feel the same way. I’ll tell them something that I learned from the witch: sometimes the things you most wish for are not to be touched.
Parents need to know that Into the Woods is a beautiful, clever, frequently funny, sometimes somber, and ultimately uplifting take on classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales, based on the beloved musical by Stephen Sondheim. Its presentation of characters like Cinderella, Prince Charming, and more as very flawed…
