How stupid can you be? Black dude just shows up, claiming to be a Chinese guy’s brother, and the only test is to see if he mourns? He explicitly says “It is a full forty years since I left this country, of which, like my brother, I am a native”. But since the African Magician was really sad to hear Mustapha had died, she concluded that he must, in fact, be his brother. Aladdin’s mother is at first incredulous, saying that Mustapha had a brother who had died. Suddenly a brotha from Africa shows up claiming to be Aladdin’s uncle.

This brings me to the most distracting part of the story. Then one day, the African Magician shows up claiming to be Mustapha’s long lost brother. His father, Mustapha is a tailor, and dies. Aladdin still doesn’t want to work, so he goes out each day and does whatever he wants, while his mother works.

Since it had a bunch of Arab sounding names, he just added them to the Arabian Nights translation on which he was working.Īladdin is idle, and doesn’t want to work. Apparently, a French dude named Antoine Galland met a Syrian who told him the story. The first mention of Aladdin was in the 1700s. Most of the stories in the Arabian Nights were compiled from oral traditions by the 1300s. There is no monkey, no magic carpet, and luckily, no Gilbert Gottfried.Īlso, the story wasn’t originally part of the Arabian Nights. Jafar does not exist in the story, though earlier stories in the Arabian Nights do have characters named Giafar. He is only referred to as the “African Magician”. The princess (named Badroulbadour, not Jasmine) is Chinese. Next, the entire story (with the exception of one scene towards the end) is in China. According to Wikipedia, it should be pronounced “Ala ad Deen”. So let’s break down the book version of Aladdin. The exception for me personally being, the 2002 version of the Count of Monte Cristo, starring Jim Caveziel, which is an abomination and should be stricken from the planet.

Movies and TV adaptations often change things from their source material, and it’s usually not a big deal. What I hadn’t realized is how very, very, very different the book is from the movie. Pretty much everyone in the US has seen the 1992 movie, staring Robin Williams. 'Princess Jasmine wants the best for Agrabah and what's best for them is if she leads, but rather than say that she wanted to lead.she shows the skills and the qualities of a leader. The story is a progression of how she finally speaks out and becomes the leader that she's destined to be.I recently finished rereading The Arabian Nights (also known as 1001 Nights or 1001 Arabian Nights), which contains the famous story of Aladdin and the genie. 'What we're trying to do is reimagine with a modern twist to it,' she says in a behind-the-scenes video for the film, obtained by E! News. Ultimately, she ends up with Aladdin, who previously masqueraded as a prince. The new film gives the character of Jasmine, played by British actress Naomi Scott, much more depth. In the beloved 1992 animated film, she is depicted as an independent, strong daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah, who is sick of feeling 'trapped' behind the walls of their castle and refuses to be forced into marriage and have her 'life lived' for her as she prepares to become queen one day. Princess Jasmine is more empowered and has got bigger dreams and aspirations in Disney's live-action Aladdin reboot.
