Big bad wolf pigs

English | The Three Little Pigs

The Three Little Pigs

Mrs Pig was very tired: 'Oh dear,' she said to her three little pigs, 'I can’t do this work anymore, I’m afraid you must leave home and make your own way in the world.' So the three little pigs set off.

The first little pig met a man carrying a bundle of straw.

'Excuse me,' said the first little pig politely. 'Would you please sell some of your straw so I can make a house?'

The man readily agreed and the first little pig went off to find a good place to build his house.

The other little pigs carried on along the road and, soon, they met a man carrying a bundle of sticks.

'Excuse me,' said the little pig politely. 'Would you please sell me some sticks so I can build a house?'

The man readily agreed and the little pig said goodbye to his brother.

The third little pig didn’t think much of their ideas:

'I’m going to build myself a much bigger, better, stronger house,' he thought, and he carried off down the road until he met a man with a cart load of bricks.

'Excuse me,' said the third little pig, as politely as his mother had taught him. 'Please can you sell me some bricks so I can build a house?'

'Of course,' said the man. 'Where would you like me to unload them?'

The third little pig looked around and saw a nice patch of ground under a tree.

'Over there,' he pointed.

They all set to work and by nighttime the house of straw and the house of sticks were built but the house of bricks was only just beginning to rise above the ground. The first and second little pigs laughed, they thought their brother was really silly having to work so hard when they had finished.

However, a few days later the brick house was completed and looked very smartwith shiny windows, a neat little chimney and a shiny knocker on the door.

One starlit night, soon after they had settled in, a wolf came out looking for food. By the light of the moon he espied the first little pig’s house of straw and he sidled up to the door and called:

'Little pig, little pig, let me come in.'

'No, no, by the hair of my chinny chin chin!' replied the little pig.

'Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!' said the wolf who was a very big, bad, and a greedy sort of wolf.

And he huffed, and he puffed and blew the house in. But the little pig ran away as fast as his trotters could carry him and went to the second little pig’s house to hide.

The next night the wolf was even hungrier and he saw the house of sticks. He crept up to the door and called:

'Little pig, little pig, let me come in.'

'Oh no, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!' said the second little pig, as the first little pig hid trembling under the stairs.

'Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!' said the wolf.

And he huffed, and he puffed and he blew the house in. But the little pigs ran away as fast as their trotters could carry them and went to the third little pig’s house to hide.

'What did I tell you?' said the third little pig. 'It’s important to build houses properly.' But he welcomed them in and they all settled down for the rest of the night.

The following night the wolf was even hungrier and feeling bigger and badder than ever.

Prowling around, he came to the third little pig’s house. He crept up to the door and called:

'Little pig, little pig, let me come in.'

'Oh no, not by the hair on my chinny chin chin!' said the third little pig, while the first and the second little pigs hid trembling under the stairs.

'Then I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house in!' said the wolf.

And he huffed, and he puffed and he blew but nothing happened. So he huffed and he puffed and he blew again, even harder, but still nothing happened. The brick house stood firm.

The wolf was very angry and getting even bigger and even badder by the minute.

'I’m going to eat you all,' he growled, 'just you wait and see.'

He prowled round the house trying to find a way in. The little pigs trembled when they saw his big eyes peering through the window. Then they heard a scrambling sound.

'Quick, quick!' said the third little pig. 'He’s climbing the tree. I think he’s going to come down the chimney.'

The three little pigs got the biggest pan they had, and filled it full of water and put it on the fire to boil. All the time they could hear the sound of the wolf climbing the tree and then walking along the roof.

The little pigs held their breath. The wolf was coming down the chimney. Nearer and nearer he came until, with a tremendous splash, he landed in the pan of water.

'Yoweeeee!' he screamed, and shot back up the chimney thinking his tail was on fire.

Good but disappointing sequel to Disney's The Three Little Pigs

This is a Disney retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood story. It is a sequel to the famous Three Little Pigs short they made a year earlier (Who's afraid of the big bad wolf?). In it, Little Red Riding Hood is trying to get to her grandmother's house, and the two irresponsible little pigs offer to walk her through the woods, although their older brother, the practical pig, warns them to go the long route to avoid the wolf. The Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf would appear in two more sequels, The Three Little Wolves and The Practical Pig, which are quite better than this one. 7/10.

Reviews “Very Bad Guys”

Stanislav Zelvensky

1Israeli dark comedy with torture

Little girls go missing; the maniac does horrible things to them and leaves the decapitated corpses to the police. Another crime brings three men together. An overzealous policeman (Ashkenazi) who was suspended from work and decided to complete the investigation on his own. The victim's father (Grad), who also wants to achieve justice himself and rents a house in a remote area with a well-insulated basement. And the divinity teacher (Keynan), a bespectacled slut who both suspect that he is a maniac.

Quentin Tarantino, generous with praise, especially when it comes to his own imitators from exotic countries, called this Israeli film the best film of the year. Now for the cons. "The Boys" (originally "Big Bad Wolves") is a diligent and in its own way undoubtedly bright imitation of Korean revenge thrillers, for some reason periodically leaving for a black comedy about how a maniac caught a maniac. Okay, risky - headless girls are not the most obvious reason to laugh - but, most importantly, not at all funny. Jokes about Jewish parents, as it turns out, are still in vogue even in Israel. The rest concern such a funny process as torture; after working on a soldering iron connected by a person, you can always joke about going to barbecues. Cynicism is an author's position no worse than others, but it requires subtlety and a sense of proportion, which the duet of directors is so obviously lacking. In addition, as often happens with hooligans working on the verge of a foul, they do not forget to play it safe and cover the mutilated corpses with blankets from the Red Cross, that is, cheap morality and irony, which from afar looks like irony of fate, but in fact is the product of petty authorial juggling and manipulation . And, like all Israeli films, The Boys, of course, serves as a social commentary on the situation in Israel: the moment when everyone there will finally eat each other, apparently, is not far off.

Best reviews of the movie "Very Bad Boys" but will have to. everything about myself and about myself is uncomfortable, but I will continue: I am not a fan of such comedies. I don't like to watch thrillers about maniacs either. That is why this movie made an impression on me. for a long time I waited when "everything will resolve" and it will be possible to laugh (well, it is written that it is a comedy).

12 reviews, 26 ratings, rating 11 lambs" and the comedy "Rockers"), although, admittedly, Keshales and Papushado added a Middle Eastern flavor to it.

The film is distinguished by a brilliant work with sound: the authors made the audience literally cringe in horror. Many left the hall, considering the on-screen cruelty going off scale, although there was nothing in the film beyond the norm familiar to the modern viewer, the effect was achieved exclusively by artistic means. There were also warm lamp backgrounds of the characters, but they did not add touchingness to the film, but allowed the audience to let off steam - when the psychopath, who had just crushed his victim's fingers, was called by his mother, nervous chuckles swept through the hall.

Already in the title of the film, a fairy tale frame was set, and in the course of the play there were so many references to fairy tale motifs that I periodically got the feeling that I was watching the Grimm series. Separately, I was pleased with the character-Arab, on a horse and with an iPhone. Thanks to his participation, the authors - and they are masters of conveying capacious ideas in short, literally microplot lines - managed to perfectly, convexly and very much like the truth show and ridicule a fair share of Arab-Israeli stereotypes. To tell the truth, I thought that - given the fairy tale context - an Arab on horseback symbolized a prince. I thought that he would play a more significant role in the plot, but I was wrong - he did not appear in the finale. The ending itself turned out to be both unexpected, and expected, and open at the same time. When the credits rolled, the audience applauded.

In a small town of Israel, a certain mysterious pedophile maniac in the most cruel way and without any shadow of pity kills underage girls. Since the investigation is moving at a snail's pace, there is no evidence, and the suspects are Makarenko of a local spill with a crystal clear reputation, the father of one of the murdered girls and the ex-cop decide on their own to find and deal with the maniac in their own way.

The cinematography of the Middle East in general and Israel in particular has always gravitated towards patriarchal traditionalism. to a high culture of morality and spirit, to realism and sacredness. Even with the advent of the new twenty-first century, Israeli cinematography, represented by its most prominent representatives like Amos Gitai, Josef Sidar or Eran Kolirin, did not move along the winding, perverted paths of postmodernism, but along the beaten and comfortable roads of classic style. However, this unshakable situation was interrupted in 2010, when two debutants in the world of directing, Aaron Keshales and Navot Papushado, presented their film "Mads" in their homeland and at a number of prestigious film screenings - a provocative extreme horror film shot in the spirit of Oliver Stone and the early Niko Mastorakis.

Their second major directing effort, 2013's The Big Bad Wolves, received no less festival buzz, earning nominations and awards at the Tribeca, Night Visions, After Dark, Rotterdam and Vancouver screenings. Such a representative of Israeli cinematography, which is not very well-known to a wide audience, is quite understandable, because "Big Bad Wolves" is not just another author's work, not just a bright experiment in genre and style, not just an exercise in postmodernist games; “Big Bad Wolves” is an extremely powerful blue screen embodiment of the motifs of classical Greek tragedies, universal in meaning and extremely harsh, even visually naturalistic, a story of cruel revenge, inhuman madness, violent ultra-violence.

Like a theatrical performance, subject to the unshakable laws of the trinity of time, action and space, when all events take place in one short but very eventful night, Big Bad Wolves contain in their chamber and gloomy microcosm not only the genre elements of a crime drama and a psychopathological detective , but also a frankly grindhouse thriller with rivers of blood and an arthouse black comedy with such specific humor that Tarantino's films never dreamed of.

Four main characters, one of which is symbolically deprived of a name, because Evil is mostly nameless, and therefore even more terrible, during a sleepless painful night full of conversations, showdowns and tortures, they are trying to find the truth and find the desired bearer of the millstones of violence. The duet of Keshales and Papushado successfully avoids stereotyped and ordinary narration within the film, permanently preserving the amazing rhythm, spectacle, neo-noir style and suspense in the film, saving a lot of surprises and aces up their sleeves until the very end. The ending, however, does not give final and accurate answers and assessments, turning the “Big Bad Wolves” into a parable about Good and Evil, about Black, which quite unexpectedly can become White, about the search for truth and truth and about retribution for everything perfect, because no one did not cancel.

The film "Big Bad Wolves", supported by the successful directorial findings of Aaron Keshales and Navot Papushado, the stylish work of the cameraman Giora Bayach and a number of interesting and convincing acting works of Lior Ashkenazi, Tsari Khad, Rotem Keinan etc will definitely appeal to all cinephiles and connoisseurs of extraordinary auteur cinema with great artistic potential with signs of a possible cult. Without any binding to the country of origin, the film leaves an unusual aftertaste and a desire to plunge into the unusual world of the Middle Eastern neo-noir again and again, if, of course, your nerves are strong and taut like a string, because the film does not hold great bloodthirstiness, as, indeed, great meaning, very skillfully hidden behind scenes of ultra-violence.

Avenging father of a murdered girl, an unclean police officer and teacher of theology, who became the main suspect in a series of brutal murders, are drawn into conflict THAT IS RISKING TO BE A TRAGEDY AS THE AUTHORITIES LOOK FOR THE ELUSIVE KILLER.

While playing with friends, a girl disappears - a traditional plot for many action films that, on their own, make something acceptable out of it or not. Here, too, a girl disappears, the main characters are looking for her, the search literally permeates the entire film, but in the end it completely fades into the background. Their strange relationship, which began thanks to this incident, comes to the fore, and now they will part when the girl is found, or when "thunder strikes." And even despite the main performers, who are completely "dissolved" in the script and the director's idea, the film has the main components of its success - camera work and music, which adorn an already interesting idea. We have already seen this somewhere. This unbridled, sarcastic style of Quentin Tarantino, "is up in the air here, even cut with a knife." And the tape, which has a genre of "black" comedy under it, reaches its limits here: the reckless actions of the characters look like something absurd here. But in the end, this is what turns the picture into something coherent, because the ending with the girl will be more than traditional.

Verdict: Quentin Tarantino's style is achievable. And this picture is proof of that.

When wallowing in the mud, a pig cleans its skin rather than soiling it

They have a reputation for being unclean animals that sweat profusely while wallowing in mud. In reality, they have outstanding abilities, as the correspondent BBC Earth .

It is said that: Pigs dig and sleep in feces. Pigs sweat like pigs. Pigs are dirty animals. A male pig (aka boar or knur) can experience an orgasm within half an hour.

Actually: Most of these stereotypes are best explained by bad conditions of detention. In the wild, wild boars do not sleep in or pick at feces. They fall out in the clay, but only because it is a great way to cool the body in the heat. Domestic pigs are often pink, but we humans made them that way. Males can ejaculate for minutes on end.

Pigs don't have sweat glands, so the expression "sweats like a pig" doesn't make any sense. So said Jules Winfield, the Pulp Fiction mobster (played by Samuel Jackson), explaining why he doesn't eat pork.

If Winfield had known a little more about pigs, he might not have spoken so hastily and arrogantly about them.

Rabbits, for example, willingly swallow their faecal pellets in order to once again drive a poorly digestible herbal dinner through the digestive system.

And after all, it never occurs to anyone to speak rudely about eared and fluffy rodents.

Diet and hygiene

Wild boars, the original distant relatives from which we have bred our domestic pigs, are omnivorous animals that do not show increased pickiness in food.

And yet, 90% of their diet is plant foods, so they are unlikely to have any special predilection for their own excrement.

If a domestic pig starts chewing excrement from time to time, this is most likely due to the fact that her dwelling littered with uncleaned sewage leaves her no other choice.

Photo copyright, Wild Wonders of Europe Zacek NPL

A pig sometimes chews sewage, but wild boars were somehow caught washing apples in a stream , Switzerland, became famous for its cleanliness and legibility in food.

The animals were given slices of apples rolled in the sand. Instead of eating them immediately, the boars carried them to the banks of the stream that flowed through their enclosure, put the fruits in the water and rinsed them, pushing back and forth with their snouts before sitting down.

Boars would not do this procedure with clean apples. Even when they were very hungry, they found time to wash their food.

In addition to their food preferences, pigs enjoy a reputation as "dirty animals" in a more general sense.

Photo copyright, Roger Powell NPL

Clay on the skin of a pig acts as a cream, protects against overheating and insects

Boars do wallow in clay, but most likely they do this to escape the heat.

The fact is that pigs do not have functioning sweat glands. It's worth remembering this whenever you hear someone say that he or she "sweats like a pig."

This physiological feature means that pigs are at serious risk of overheating, and cloudy clay water evaporates much more slowly than clear water.

"A pig, like any other animal, tries to make itself comfortable," says Greger Larson of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. to find another solution, but the conditions for this have not been created, since people keep them in rather cramped pigsties.

The layer of clay on the skin can also serve other purposes, such as a cream to protect the surface of the body from burns, or to repel insects such as mosquitoes and others.

When a pig rubs against something, scraping off a crust of dried clay, this can be an effective way to get rid of mites and other parasites.

The paradox lies in the fact that, having rolled out in the mud, they clean, not dirty their skin.

The family suidae, or "pigs", has over a dozen different species

Both domestic pigs and their wild relatives, wild boars, are all members of the family of artiodactyl non-ruminant animals, scientifically called suidae, i. e. "pigs".

Extensive relatives

This family includes more than a dozen species, from the warthog to the pygmy pig; among them there is a babirussa (an animal with huge fangs that lives on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi), and there is also a large forest pig and an African brush-eared (aka river) pig.

Image copyright, Thinkstock

Domestic pigs come in a wide variety of colors, but the most common is pinkish

Genetic evidence suggests that humans have domesticated wild boars twice. For this, two hereditary lines were used - one in Asia and the other in Europe.

The division of the ancestors of modern wild boars began about one million years ago, i.e. long before domestication, which occurred about nine thousand years ago.

Despite their long separate existence, Asian and European wild boars have exactly the same camouflage color.

The same cannot be said about domestic pig breeds.
