Sleeping Beauty, Again

[mark_asphodel]

Reading about that new "Sleeping Beauty" film, which after all revisits a fairy tale I find endlessly disturbing, makes me want to write some kind of genuinely inverted take on the story.  Something with an active female molesting acting upon a passive/comatose/dead male character.  Just out of sheer perversity, you know?

Suggestions welcome.  It's a burr under the saddle to me at present.

Wow. That film sounds pretty interesting.

And yes, if "Sleeping Beauty" is trying to be some kind of satire taking aim at the objectification of women, it has misfired horrifically.

I do wish I could remember the name of the movie, but since I never watched it... (It wasn't all about necrophilia either; it was also about the girl finally coming out of her shell and finding love with a real person, rather than with the lifeless corpses.)

I wish I could update my posts...

This might be the movie I was describing above: Kissed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissed). The description isn't exactly as I remembered it, but it's pretty close. (And I hit at least one unwanted link trying to find it, ew.)
