Review of Aladdin (2019) by Keke222 — 23 May 2019

Generaly I like the story of Alladin and is amazing in the book,but aparently I sow only the Disney version wich is not the real story. First : the movie is 40% a musical wich is a minus from the start, then the story is wrong in all aspects.

The real story hapens in China not Arabia, Jafar is an african powerfull wizard has nothing in common with the Sultan,in the real story is a great magician who finds out about the lamp from his magic stuff, and he finds Alladin and tricks him, the real story is more amasing than this "good" story,Jafar colects magic relics it does not want to became Sultan, Alladin actualy has a diferent story with Jasmin.

The book is more acurate,the actors are playing amazing the roles on screen, Will Smith is amazing. But no fault of the actors if the writers wants to change 90% of the real story of Alladin,plus Alladin story is one of the amazing stories of 1001 nights, I will chose the story of tricky Dalila anytime over Alladins.

Another issue with the so called story of the movie is the conception that the gin can only grants you three wishes, in the book the one who owns the lamp is the master of the gin wich can grant him what ever wish he wants and as many wishes he wants,the logic in the movie fades, what you gona do with a lamp with a powerfull gin who can only grants you three wishes,whould you give away your lamp to another for another three wishes?Realy illogical that the master of the lamp only have a limited amount of wishes!Another problem in the movie who changed completely the story of Alladin is that the chance to release the gin,again the ilogical used here is that the gin can be released and transform in human.

The story with the gin is that God created the angels the gin and the human, this are three species diferent,the gin is said to be created from fire,so logical a species can not become another species and why would you will give up your powers to became less powerfull?In the real book, the gin is bound by king Solomon to the lamp, can not be release,probabily the only think that gin can't do in the story is to unbound itself even if the master will grant him that wish,the gin is bound with powerfull SIGILS,no one can broke them but king Solomon.

The gin in the story is neutral who is controll him but the only one who can enter in the cave as a prophecy says is only Alladin,the lamp is writen to be his until he touches it,after that Alladin can give the lamp or lose it the lamp will work the same with the new master, but only Alladin can aquire it at first.

Made up beings are : the monkey, the parot of Giafar and the tiger from the palace.Why would you made up this animals?No ideea.Probably to continue the old cartoons about Alladin.I wonder if this people who takes the story and recreate them they even bother anymore to read the original story.

And many more details not in the movie but in the book, the book is worth reading if you like storys.
