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.

Then I heard all the other versions. :/

The thing that almost makes sense about the movie is the very criticism that the main character just kind of sleepwalks through life being acted upon, because that's exactly what the original Sleeping Beauty character did. Or didn't do.
