Books and films about the wizard Harry Potter, love ordinary girls and boys vampire, about four brothers and sisters, fighting with the White Queen, among adults almost more popular than in children. Maria Trinity tried to understand what they are looking for adults in the world of fairy tales
Since childhood I cherish the hope to become a singer and to fly to the moon, but never I didn't want to be born a fairy or to marry a vampire. Apparently, I'm behind fashion: recently, not only children, but adults want to attend Hogwarts, to have a post owl and find happiness in marriage to a ghoul. Why magical madness, tried to explain respected experts and just dreamers.
Be my elf
At the age of sixteen I met Him - handsome green-eyed student of Baumanni from an educated family in General, the average realization of the dreams of a teenage girl. Called the dream of Alexander, and he wanted to marry me. For the first ten minutes of exploring I could come up with names for our children - Federica and Katia. But on the eleventh I was waiting for the first (alas, not the last! serious disappointment in men: Alexander was an elf. To get married he asked me quite seriously, but at the same time, in the magical. I ought to assume the role of elf, dwarf or witches - choice. It now I am a grown up man, tempered by adversity and I think that everyone has their own shortcomings. But while. It would be better if Sasha was gay - stylish, fashionable, youth! And most importantly, no hopes. Underscoring the danger of entrainment of the groom, I decided that this trouble we will survive. But signally failed. "You know, Masha, - said Alexander, lying in a hospital bed (in one of the role-playing battles my elf broke his leg). The world created by the great Tolkien, extremely interesting! It's not that other, as a projection on modern reality. The book examines the philosophical issues, there is a historical. We need to look deeper. And swords, costumes - it's so beautiful! " I sadly nodded and increasingly understood that Federico and Katya us with Alexander to educate not destined. Except that the bearded dwarves.
So, when the elf heal battle wounds, I am pure soul left him. To explore the world created by the great Tolkien", I didn't want, and other topics Sasha was not interested in. I could not assume that, as adults, ex-elf will become a successful entrepreneur, and a place of magical worlds in his mind will take the universe of investments.
Professor of the Institute of psychoanalysis, sexologist, psychotherapist Alexander Moiseyevich Poleev such metamorphoses are not surprising. "Mysticism is traditionally attracts more women, " he says. - However, prone to romantic men too want to believe in the existence of fantastic worlds where good triumphs over evil. Often we are talking about teenagers who are addicted esoteric, if not find understanding among peers. Over time, the interest in the hobby disappears, and notorious hobbit or a dwarf grows quite down-to-earth, self-confident man".
However, not only romantically minded youngsters enjoy reading books about parallel worlds. Another quite successful managers are not alien to the sense of beauty. My friend Roman is a senior financial analyst. Five days a week from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. he is forced to wear a formal suit, shirt and tie. In his spare time he wants to forget about the responsibilities and dress code, as a nightmare. In the Park "Tsaritsyno" with his wooden sword, of course, will not see. But on weekends he dances milonga, and in the evenings reading books about wizards and other evil spirits. "I want magic! "says he.
Fiction writer Dmitry Glukhovsky such as a novel, is clearly sympathetic. "Today's adults - yesterday's teenagers, " he says. Modern society allows us to feel children indefinitely. Besides, we are bombarded by such a powerful flow of information that is not always possible to differentiate what books and films for children and some for adults. And everyone is free to decide what to read and watch. Monstrous rhythm of life, all run to and fro, earn money - people desperately short of miracles. Therefore, the interest of adults to the worlds, where everything is so magical and wonderful, quite understandable".
Kiss me gently!
The popularity of the novel "Twilight" rolls over, the creators of this movie rejoice phenomenal duties, the number of fan clubs Saga is constantly growing, and a small group of renegades like me puzzled: what is salt? On this question the fans, or the fans, "Twilight" (most of them) meet with aspiration: "There's Edward Cullen! "
So, congratulations - lived! Time rock stars and malchukov groups is gone. Hero girl's dreams became thin and pale-faced vampire. Thank you, not a serial maniac. "It has long been proved that the bite of the vampire symbolizes the act of love, - says Dmitry Glukhovsky. - "Twilight" - the book is not about vampires, but about relations between the sexes, about the fact that interesting and clear for every woman. Young girls read a story about first love, older ladies, the choice between the two men. But clearer than the book, so it is popular for the reader easier to associate themselves with the characters and empathize with them".
However, the popularity of Edward Cullen is just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks to the cinema vampires has long been shrouded in an aura of romance. Suffice it to recall the blood-sucking of the fillies in the performance of Tom cruise and brad pitt or vampire Kostya from the film adaptation of the books by Sergei Lukyanenko Night and Day Patrols. Well not a substitute for canines such beauties quivering neck?
"The film industry successfully exploits this feature of the female psyche, as the thirst for the unknown, " says Alexander Poleev. The sexual component is another reason for the popularity of vampire themes. Many girls dream to be conquered, they are drawn to aggressive, strong men. In addition, there are women who suffer from so-called complex of Joan of Arc. Underneath they dream to instruct the villain on the right path. By the way, "Twilight" is a reflection of the thought of".
Psychotherapist, Vice-President of the Russian Association of sexologists Evgeny Aleksandrovich Kulhavy believes that the reason for the popularity of the vampire lies in the desire of people to take a SIP of adrenaline and give the output of the internal fears. "Reading these stories brings anxiety to the level of the subject of fear, " he stresses. While there are hormonal surges. Some fans of the horror stories become an adrenalin addicted that may be correlated with sexual arousal. In this case, often found small deviations in sexual runs toward sadistic or masochistic tendencies. To experience "a sense of vzbudorazhennoj", people need again and again to look for fears. Excessive passion that speaks of incomplete psychological well-being and the need for psychotherapeutic correction".
Teach me to live
The bespectacled man with a scar on his forehead almost the most popular boy on the planet. Books Harry Potter books read not only children but also adults. The latter often explain the interest in the adventures of a young magician to return to childhood, as you can see in heroes reflection of yourself. And someone just emotionally binds to them. One of my friends confessed that, having read all the books about Harry Potter, failed to stop and was fond of fanfiction. Now her heart completely belongs to the young magicians with whom she (Oh, the horror! in the moments of sadness leads the conversation.
Another friend thank Harry Potter for the restoration of peace in the family. Once something terrible happened: my daughter went to school normal teenager, and in the evening returned stylish emo-goth. Everything was for parents fresh in the way of the child: and black nails, dark makeup, and rings with skulls. To accept the transformation was not easy. However, nothing brings people together like a shared hobby. Sing mournful songs and dream about the imminent death of a friend was not ready. Cost a little blood - joint going to the movies and buy books about magic. When the General topic of conversation was found to reach a consensus easier. Parents listened to a lecture about the benefits of emo-Goths, and the daughter promised to re-look at the style.
Dmitry Glukhovsky believes that the strong side of the story Harry Potter - in appeal to modernity. "Reading the book, we remember the stories that we were told when we were little, and at the same time find themselves in it, and the modern world. And again, as in childhood, ready to believe that magic exists."
Apparently, he's right. Pretty easy to reach adults through the usual tale. Recently one of the universities in the UK announced the opening of the course "Harry Potter and the age of illusion". In the framework of the students, unfortunately, will not be able to possess magical skills. Curriculum - 200 hours of lectures and seminars. Among the problems of learning away from home", "Gryffindor and Slytherin: prejudice and intolerance", "post-war years: a time of illusions", "Mahli and wizards: escape from monotony to the charm." By the end of the course students have to write an essay of about 200 words and pass a two-hour exam. Entry to the course is in full swing.
Writer and chief editor of the magazine MAXIM DETOX Alexey Karaulov believes that the secret to the popularity of such books in simplicity: "Girl change school boy treat the house - all recognizable, because this is our world. Vampires, wizards or Shinigami it contains as much as it. New stories are easier to read because they do not operate a library of knowledge, not mythology, and pop copy of this mythology and simple real-world objects. And here comes another opportunity for manipulation of the consciousness of the reader: if some of the fantastic world no, not if it is part of our, let the character will become, as they say filmmakers, favored. The offended boy or girl. And let the villains and heroes will be like normal people and live among us. So nice reading a book, think: Hey, but in its place could be me! Girls are nice to dream about sex with versushost, but only provided that it is anthropomorphic. And it is very bad and it is unclear what the correct adapter! While boys may dream that they too will one day knock on the forehead some Rukia Kuchiki, or the owl will bring the invitation to the school of magic. Ultimately, this may also dream about sex, because omnipotence implies the possibility of sexual permissiveness, which in 12-15 years Oh how missing".
I have long vorotila nose from Harry Potter. "He's better than Moomin Troll or Pippi Longstocking? " - I grumbled. And recently gave birth to a child and decided in advance to familiarize themselves with the boy, whom I'll be reading my daughter aloud. No, perhaps he is no better. But no worse for sure. So I'm happy to once again remember the rules of the game of Quidditch and dream about the post owl. In the end, not that I'm and adult.
