      Exploring the interplay between fairy-tale films and their representations of truth and magic, this work examines how historical and cultural shifts have influenced perceptions of reality and wonder. It critiques the Enlightenment's relegation of magic to fantasy, highlighting how postmodern perspectives challenge the binary of science versus magic. By analyzing fairy tales in film, the author argues that these narratives blur the lines between reality and magic, making profound statements about contemporary politics and societal norms.
