Typically “negative” or “bad” behavior, like being a chatterbox, being bossy, or moving around non-stop can actually be signs that a child is highly advanced. Despite it being something all parents may struggle with, it can be a positive sign that your child is gifted and highly developed, both emotionally and intellectually.
Bright Side has researched the most common signs that your child is a fast developer, helping you to understand them better.
1. They have a lot of energy.
Your child may be bursting with enthusiasm and energy when it comes to their favorite activities, itching to start the day. Such high levels of energy may be a sign that their minds are highly engaged as they constantly seek new activities and experiences.
2. They hold long eye contact as a baby.
This means that they’re aware of their environment and alert as to what’s going on around them. For very young babies, it means that they’ve learned to coordinate their eyes. Such awareness from an early age can be a sign that they’re developing quickly.
3. They’re chatterboxes.
Children with advanced development prefer to chat with people older than themselves, such as a teacher or older children. This is because they often prefer to have conversations about things that interest them rather than playing with children their own age.
4. They have good motor skills in the early years.
Activities such as smiling, rolling over, as well as putting on socks, all involve our children’s key motor skills. This means that advanced motor development in our children involves the growth and strengthening of their muscles and bones and their ability to move and touch their environment. In fact, one study says that good motor skills are related to higher intelligence later in life. Just another reason to help your child get involved with the wonders of the world around them!
5. They’re emotionally sensitive.
Research reveals that the emotional intelligence of first-grade girls is connected to their intellectual abilities. Therefore, if your child is particularly emotionally aware, it could be a sign that they have highly developed emotional intelligence and possibly strong intellectual skills.
6. They’re more creative.
Sometimes it may feel like they’re running you off your feet with their eagerness to play, but this may be a sign that they’re highly creative. They may have many new ideas and be problem fixers, make up long and detailed stories, and invent complicated games to play.
7. They have unusual hobbies and obsessions.
You may notice that your child is obsessed with some topics or that they’re always engaged in a hobby. These hobbies and obsessions can be a sign that they’re highly developed as they focus on their interests and are able to learn more in the end.
8. They’re messy eaters in their first years.
A study tells us that 16-month-olds learn by interacting and getting messy with objects, especially food. Those who interact with their food get a better understanding of non-solid objects and are better at identifying them later.
9. They’re bossy.
This can be a sign that they have a developed appreciation of leadership. Children can be overly enthusiastic about making complex rules and making new discoveries. This can mean that they sometimes forget to check with the other children they’re playing with, meaning that they become bossy and demanding.
10. They’re a perfectionist.
When they’re being creative or studying in school, they want to make sure that everything is exactly right. They pay attention to detail and spend time working on things to make sure that everything is perfect in their eyes. This kind of focus is something that children with high abilities sometimes have.


brightside--2020-10-30--We Learned How the 3 Rarest Personality Types in the World Differ From Others

In the 1960s , Isabel Myers-Briggs came up with the MBTI system based on Jung ’ s theory of personality types .

We at Bright Side found out which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ types have .
And you may not know yet that you belong to one of them .
Remember , while studies have questioned the reliability and validity of the MBTI system , it definitely can serve as food for thought .
These people are idealists who choose global altruistic goals and stubbornly move toward them .
They ’ re seriously concerned about things that most people choose to not think about , like drought , hunger , or the violation of someone ’ s human rights .
They strive to improve the situation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is why they aren ’ t always easily understood by others .
This is one of the most intellectually developed personality types .
Usually , its representatives choose one industry and work in it for their entire lives , often becoming pioneers and making important discoveries .
These people are close to science , engineering , and internet technologies .
They ’ re logical , meticulous , insightful , and generally successful at work .
But this type has a weakness — relationships with other people .

These people begin to compose and fantasize early .
Expressing their thoughts on paper is often easier for them than doing it orally .

In the 1960s, Isabel Myers-Briggs came up with the MBTI system based on Jung’s theory of personality types. Thanks to Briggs, today, each of us can learn about our strengths and choose a career to fulfill our potential. There are 16 personality types, but among them, there are 3 that are extremely rare. These are the personalities that are meant to change the world and inspire or terrify others, but in any case, they will leave their mark on history.
We at Bright Side found out which features and traits the representatives of these types have. And you may not know yet that you belong to one of them. Remember, while studies have questioned the reliability and validity of the MBTI system, it definitely can serve as food for thought.
1. INFJ: 1% of the world population
INFJ: Introversion, Intuition, Irrationality, Organization Skills These people are idealists who choose global altruistic goals and stubbornly move toward them. They’re seriously concerned about things that most people choose to not think about, like drought, hunger, or the violation of someone’s human rights. They strive to improve the situation and pursue seemingly unattainable goals. That is why they aren’t always easily understood by others.
Features of the INFJ type: decisiveness and stubbornness;
a clear purpose and their own point of view on important issues;
the gift of persuasion;
discernment and developed empathy;
humanism.
Talents and professional qualities: INFJs are intuitive, and they know how to understand what people feel and can predict events. They’re distinguished by their delicacy and patience in relation to others.
INFJs are leaders, but not commanders. They don’t seek leadership for the sake of power, so it’s easy for them to inspire people for an important cause.
INFJs choose companies and movements that suit their inner ideals. And if they don’t find anything suitable, they are quite capable of organizing something themselves. Famous INFJs: Martin Luther King, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela
2. INTJ: 2% of the world population
INTJ: Introversion, Intuition, Rationality, Organization Skills This is one of the most intellectually developed personality types. Usually, its representatives choose one industry and work in it for their entire lives, often becoming pioneers and making important discoveries. These people are close to science, engineering, and internet technologies. They’re logical, meticulous, insightful, and generally successful at work. But this type has a weakness — relationships with other people. Dating, misunderstandings, and love games are not their forté.
Features of the INTJ type: absolute self-confidence;
decisiveness and independence from other people’s opinions;
attention to detail;
strategic thinking;
hard work and determination.
Talents and professional qualities: INTJs are good strategists, and they’re better than others at analyzing, planning, and calculating. This is the most meticulous and pedantic group among all 16 personality types.
INTJs are creative and rarely use ready-made solutions. They love challenging tasks and are ready to take on projects that seem impossible to complete.
This type is introverted. They don’t like teamwork, but they’re good at setting tasks and managing the process. Famous INTJs: Steve Jobs, Margaret Thatcher
3. INFP: 4.5% of the world population
INFP: Introversion, Intuition, Irrationality, Spontaneity. They have kind and modest personalities who, at first glance, may seem inconspicuous. However, after a closer look, it becomes clear how creative and determined they are. These people begin to compose and fantasize early. Expressing their thoughts on paper is often easier for them than doing it orally. Foreign languages are easy for them, and the most talented representatives of this type are even able to create their own language and an alternative world, like John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. Thanks to a vivid imagination and an unusual perception of the world, they can become successful in many creative fields.
Features of the INFP type: determination and proactivity when defending their interests and ideals;
vivid imagination;
kindness and responsiveness to others;
spacious mind and love for learning new things;
idealism.
Talents and professional qualities: The main INFP quality is the gift of words. Many of them find professions related to texts and speech;
Representatives of this type are introverts, they are productive when they work alone or in a narrow circle of like-minded people;
INFPs are irrational and intuitive. They are primarily concerned with the fulfillment of their abilities, and not with respect coming from other people or a high income. Famous INFPs: John Ronald Reuel Tolkien., J.K. Rowling, Julia Roberts

The thing about adulthood is, it doesn’t come knocking. It just hits you, when you are barely prepared for it and then there is no going back. And when that happens, you instantly regret wanting to be an adult as a teenager. While that’s how it works and can’t be helped, adults have started sharing some pieces of advice for the young ones so they at least know what’s coming their way.
Bright Side has handpicked some of the best and most relatable thoughts shared by the real adults of the world.
“You’ll understand when you’re older” pissed me off so much when I was a kid. Now that I understand it, I’m even more pissed off that I say this. © elee0228 / Reddit
Furnishing your home, whether it be a house or otherwise, is expensive and will have to be furnished/decorated over time rather than all at once. All those things in your parent’s house (or that you see on TV shows) were acquired over the course of years and it is unrealistic to expect that you’ll be able to put together your full cozy home right away, so don’t stress about it or go into debt over it. © chayseharvard / Reddit
For me, it’s watching my parents get old. As a teenager, I thought they were all about keeping me restricted and controlled. Now I realize they’re just 2 people who never had a kid before, did the best they knew how, and messed up at times like all other humans on the planet. © Hemenucha / Reddit
“Just finished decorating our annual scary pumpkin.”
Wanting someone to cuddle or be with or the fear of being alone forever, most teens don’t think of any of this because of dating websites, but when you are an adult it becomes very lonely since you do not know whether you are ever gonna find the right person. © iiKekethedollii / Reddit
Planning dinner every single night of your life. © MelG146 / Reddit
You know all those things you thought you would do when you were out on your own? They cost money, and you have to work for it. © AmericanExpat76 / Reddit
“I got a vasectomy today.”
You’re at a time in your life when you see your friends almost every day at school. That should be cherished, because it’s vastly more simple than maintaining friendships as you enter adulthood and you don’t have that constant contact. Life as an adult is all about changes, most of it is outside of your control. © dartblaze / Reddit
When something goes wrong or something unexpected happens, there’s no one else to deal with it. Clogged toilet? You gotta clear it. Car outta gas? You gotta fill it. Run out of clean undies? You gotta do laundry. From small things to massive things, there’s no one to make it go away but you. © mswoodie / Reddit
Your “you time” gets seriously reduced as you get older and your other responsibilities mount up. I used to think that spending half an hour cleaning 3 times a week was the worst thing ever. Now I spend about an hour cleaning pretty much every day. Between work, maintaining a house, and raising kids, the amount of “you” time gets reduced to minutes a day. Anything else you want to do means sacrificing sleep. © MontiBurns / Reddit
“We’re moving and all of our dishes have already been packed.”
I swear when I was a teenager I could eat absolute garbage and stay slim because I was just naturally active throughout the day. Now being an adult I’m really fat because after a full day at work and other “adulting” responsibilities, it’s so hard to get the motivation to work out. © runfatgirlrun88 / Reddit
Money loses value QUICKLY as you get older. Give me $1,000 at 15 and I would have been in heaven buying video games and gadgets, candy, and all sorts of stupid nonsense. Give me $1,000 at 36 and it’s going toward paying off the crushing debt that comes with adulthood and car repairs that I’ve put off way too long, and all sorts of totally un-fun things. © GWindborn / Reddit
The world is cruel and harsh. Human compassion is one of the few mercy’s that can exist in your life. If you aren’t compassionate, then you’re neglecting one of the highest purposes of human existence. Don’t give up on that. © ukiyuh / Reddit
What achievement looks like when you are an adult.
Your neighbors don’t come knocking on your door to see if you want to come play. Sometimes it’s days before you actually interact with another human. It gets lonely fast. © Samantha_Ann73 / Reddit
Friends dying. You can have bad years where several people you know die. Some of them your age or younger. I lost 6 people one year, most were older, but one was like a second mother to me. That year broke something inside me. © pinewind108 / Reddit
Fruits and vegetables rot so much faster when you’re the one buying them. © JazzieXOXO / Reddit

Every person wants to be respected and valued by their family, friends, and colleagues. But sometimes, we ruin all of the efforts we’ve put into building our reputation with careless words or behavior that seems totally harmless. The people around us interpret these signals in their own ways.
We at Bright Side decided to think about the situations where a person devalues themselves without even noticing.
1. Emotional blackmail
These questions are considered to be emotional blackmail and they make people confirm what they already said. It usually annoys people, even though they don’t notice it. Try to watch what you’re saying and replace “Seriously?” with something more appropriate.
2. Hypocrisy in explaining oneself
If you are going to say “no” to a person, do it carefully, but be straightforward. If you start to praise the person and explain how great they are, it will only make the situation worse.
3. Trying to get rid of all the responsibility
Here we are talking about the people who are “never to blame.” They try to escape from any suspicions before they are even accused of anything. Besides, this behavior means that the person is really insecure. They are not trusted and not respected for their inability to take responsibility.
4. Acting insulted all the time
A person that always acts insulted or jealous for no reason is no longer considered to be equal to others. They are treated as a child that can’t control their own emotions. It also shows insecurity, which not good at all.
5. Talking about someone else’s problems and ignoring your own
There are people that don’t like to talk about their problems, and that is their right. But if you want to talk about your problems, it’s okay. And don’t be afraid of telling people that try to unload their problems on you, because you will get tired of that and people will get used to you being the listener.
6. Not taking your own feelings seriously
Sometimes, we don’t take our own feelings and emotions as seriously as we should and we don’t open up to other people. But if we did actually share our problems with others, it might make us feel calm. Those that don’t talk about their emotions seem very strong and people start to think that there’s no need to take their feelings into account.
7. Using the word “usually” as an excuse
We use this word to try and make our errors seem not as serious. But in fact, these excuses look pathetic and they only irritate people. It’s better to apologize for your mistakes without a lot of excuses.
8. Not respecting your own wishes
If someone constantly ignores their own wishes and needs because of insecurity or someone else’s problems, other people will also start to ignore their wishes. Do what you want to do if it’s not a problem for other people.
9. Being unhappy about something all the time
We all get tired and irritated from time to time, but there are people that are always in this state. Nobody wants to be friends with people like this. Negativity doesn’t attract people. Also, these people are unhappy “children” that are hard to communicate with.
10. Doling out generalized accusations
Sometimes, in the middle of an argument, we might say something silly. But we should think very carefully about what we want to say. Be specific and explain how you feel. General accusations sound like you have nothing to say, but you just want an argument.
11. Talking derogatorily about yourself
The seemingly harmless words we say when we talk to our friends can devalue us in the eyes of other people. Besides, our own self-esteem might take a hit. Try not to use the words like “pig,” “fat,” “I’m dumb,” and other words like these.
12. Using phrases people are really tired of
The people you’re talking to have probably heard these words hundreds of times, so they don’t really mean anything. It’s irritating to hear something like that and it just means that you probably don’t know what else to say. So, if you have nothing else to say, don’t say anything. It’s better than saying something just to say it.

The process of mummifying a single body used to take 70 days in Ancient Egypt. The rather long ordeal was carried out as they believed that the mummified body would serve as a “home” for the late person’s spirit. Earlier this month, dozens of ancient coffins were discovered in Cairo and what the archaeologists found out further was even more interesting.
Bright Side has put all the details together for our readers regarding the mummies that were uncovered.
The mummies were buried deep in wells 2,500 years ago.
In Cairo, Egypt, 59 coffins were discovered by archaeologists, hidden deep in wells. According to experts, the mummies are estimated to come from the sixth or seventh century BCE, dating back to the Late Period of Ancient Egypt.
One of the coffins was opened right in front of the public.
The discovery is huge, so naturally, it sparked a lot of public attention. To satisfy the people, one of the coffins was unveiled right in front of the media. The mummy was wrapped in black burial cloth and had several bright hieroglyphics on it.
Surprisingly, all the mummies are still perfectly preserved.
According to one of the ministers of tourism and antiquities, even though the mummies were put to rest 2,500 years ago, they are in such great shape, it’s almost as if they were mummified yesterday in their sealed wooden coffins.
All of the coffins will be put on public display soon.
If you’re wondering if it’s possible to see these mummies in person, it is. All the recently discovered coffins, along with the ones that have been found in the past, will be moved to the Grand Egyptian Museum, which is awaiting its grand opening in 2021.
There’s a possibility that there are more.
The current discovery includes a bronze figure of Nefertem, an ancient Egyptian god, various priests, statesmen, and people of high social stature, and experts believe there are more to be found. The search is still on and one can’t help but wonder what more lies beneath.

brightside--2020-10-31--7 “Innocent” Things Parents Say to Their Children That Can Emotionally Scar Them

Around 700,000 children are abused every year in the U.S. alone .
We may assume that as long as we don ’ t spank our kids , it ’ s of no concern to us .
But we forget about emotional abuse .
A random word we blurt out without even thinking can lead to anxiety , depression , or low self-esteem .
Bright Side grew curious as to what words we may say with good intentions that can result in trouble for kids later on in their lives .
1 .
Comparing your child to others If you compare @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s “ perfect son , ” they won ’ t be able to see the correct image of themselves and will feel like losers .
Favoritism among siblings , in its turn , leads to an unnecessary rivalry between them .
More than that , one of them will feel unloved while the other one will have to bear the burden of the ideal child that has to do everything in the best way in order to keep the position .
According to this study , if you favor one child over another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when they grow up .
Sure enough , a broken toy may seem unimportant in comparison to having to pay the bills every month , but it doesn ’ t mean that a child doesn ’ t have the right to feel emotional about it .
When this happens , kids learn to suppress their joy , sadness , or anger and grow up to be adults who are unable to express themselves or build stable relationships with people .
According to this research , it can be hard for them to bear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which can cause depression and anxiety when they become adults .
You gaslight when you make a person feel uncertain about their memory by telling lies or just mildly changing the given information .
This can also happen when you pretend you never made a promise to your child .
It will make them doubt themselves and the world around them , which can result in low self-esteem .
This can lead to anxiety , depression , and in extreme cases , psychosis .
We ’ re sure you don ’ t mean @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
On the contrary , you want to push your child forward and motivate them .
While this is what you think , what your child hears is : “ Other people and I will only love you if you do everything perfectly .
You yourself are not worthy of love without your accomplishments.
” This shows that we have excessive demands when it comes to performance .
This doesn ’ t help a kid to try harder .
It actually has the opposite effect .
The more you point out their incapabilities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ll give up .
Such phrases from parents make children lose confidence in themselves , which will lead to depression and anxiety when they grow up .
6 .
Labeling them with their mental abilities and/or physical features While kids are always told to ignore hurtful things that bullies say to them , they can ’ t always do the same when it comes to their parents ’ words .

Making them feel like they owe you something Sure , you likely had to make sacrifices to have kids .
But it was your choice to have them .
Don ’ t shift the responsibility onto them .
They don ’ t have to feel guilty because of your decisions .
In some cases it may lead to pathological guilt that in its turn is associated with various neurosis including obsessive-compulsive disorder .

Around 700,000 children are abused every year in the U.S. alone. We may assume that as long as we don’t spank our kids, it’s of no concern to us. But we forget about emotional abuse. A random word we blurt out without even thinking can lead to anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem.
Bright Side grew curious as to what words we may say with good intentions that can result in trouble for kids later on in their lives.
1. Comparing your child to others
If you compare your child with your best friend’s “perfect son,” they won’t be able to see the correct image of themselves and will feel like losers. Favoritism among siblings, in its turn, leads to an unnecessary rivalry between them. More than that, one of them will feel unloved while the other one will have to bear the burden of the ideal child that has to do everything in the best way in order to keep the position. According to this study, if you favor one child over another, it results in more depression symptoms when they grow up.
2. Denying your child’s feelings
Sure enough, a broken toy may seem unimportant in comparison to having to pay the bills every month, but it doesn’t mean that a child doesn’t have the right to feel emotional about it. When this happens, kids learn to suppress their joy, sadness, or anger and grow up to be adults who are unable to express themselves or build stable relationships with people. According to this research, it can be hard for them to bear their intense emotions in the future, which can cause depression and anxiety when they become adults.
3. Gaslighting or lying to your kids
You gaslight when you make a person feel uncertain about their memory by telling lies or just mildly changing the given information. This can also happen when you pretend you never made a promise to your child. It will make them doubt themselves and the world around them, which can result in low self-esteem. This can lead to anxiety, depression, and in extreme cases, psychosis.
4. Loving them conditionally
We’re sure you don’t mean any harm by saying things like this. On the contrary, you want to push your child forward and motivate them. While this is what you think, what your child hears is: “Other people and I will only love you if you do everything perfectly. You yourself are not worthy of love without your accomplishments.” This shows that we have excessive demands when it comes to performance.
5. Questioning their abilities
This doesn’t help a kid to try harder. It actually has the opposite effect. The more you point out their incapabilities, the higher the chance that they’ll give up. Such phrases from parents make children lose confidence in themselves, which will lead to depression and anxiety when they grow up.
6. Labeling them with their mental abilities and/or physical features
While kids are always told to ignore hurtful things that bullies say to them, they can’t always do the same when it comes to their parents’ words. Whether you’re pointing out their physical or mental disabilities, it distorts the image they have of themselves. It may result in emergence of a variety of psychiatric problems including eating disorders.
7. Making them feel like they owe you something
Sure, you likely had to make sacrifices to have kids. But it was your choice to have them. Don’t shift the responsibility onto them. They don’t have to feel guilty because of your decisions. In some cases it may lead to pathological guilt that in its turn is associated with various neurosis including obsessive-compulsive disorder.

It’s common for people that don’t work in the movie industry to not even understand the number of little details that must be taken into account when making a new series or a movie. Not only do you need a good script, good actors, a good director, and a good production team, but you also need costumes, which are essential to telling an amazing story. Everything that appears on screen has a reason for being there, after all, it costs money to put a certain detail in there. Many times, costumes have certain hidden, almost secret details that have more meaning than we might think at first sight.
Bright Side wanted to raise awareness about the work of costume designers in movies and series by compiling a few details that you might have missed while watching your favorite movies, and here’s what we found.
1. Jo and Laurie’s vests in Little Women
Jo and Laurie exchange vests constantly throughout the film. In the director’s own words, this symbolized that they were each other’s other half, they were meant for each other. The idea came from costume designer Jacqueline Durran, who made several identical pieces to make it look like they share clothes.
2. The color pink and Dolores Umbridge in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
A very curious detail, and one that may have gone unnoticed by many, is that in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the pink costumes of the evil Dolores Umbridge change shades as she gains power. The more power she has, the darker the shade of pink is. And because producers wanted pink to be related to Professor Umbridge only, they felt the need to change Nymphadora Tonks’ hair color, which, in the book, is supposed to be pink and in the movie is purple.
3. The colors in Black Panther
In the scene where the 3 main characters of Black Panther go to the casino, they’re all wearing clothes showcasing the traditional colors of African culture: Nakia, wears green, T’Challa, wears black, and Okoye sticks, as usual, with red. These colors can actually be seen throughout the whole film. It’s only when foreigners and external elements not belonging to Wakanda appear on screen that blue is used, for example. In the picture, we can see that there’s a blonde woman walking behind them. She’s clearly a foreigner and she is wearing a blue dress.
4. Chris Evans’ clothes in Knives Out
The director of the film suggested to the costume designer that Chris Evans’ character should wear expensive and brand name clothes, but that his wardrobe should look a little bit sloppy. The idea was to give the character a sort of nonchalant, but debonair look. She then decided to wear holes in the sweaters that Evans would wear and even wear out the soles of his shoes.
5. Will’s Halloween costume in Stranger Things
In a scene from the second episode of the second season, the kids are out during Halloween. The group of 4 friends chose to wear a Ghostbusters costume. Kim Wilcox, the series costume-designer, wanted to make Will’s costume stand out from the other boys’ costumes. His is actually less perfect. You can tell that it was made at home and with fewer resources. It’s even oversized for Will. This was done on purpose because the production team wanted to show that Will’s mother had less time and money than the rest of the households in town.
6. Cobb’s kids in Inception
Everyone who has seen Inception is left wondering about what the end of the film means. Is Cobb awake or is it all part of a dream? Well, in fact, Cobb finally managed to see his children again. It turns out that Jeffrey Kurland, the costume designer, might have been the one who gave us the key to understanding this. If we take a closer look at the children’s clothes in Cobb’s dream and in the last scene, we’ll notice that they are slightly different. Also, at the end of the movie, Cobb’s children have grown up and we can finally see their faces. Everything seems to indicate that Cobb has indeed woken up.
7. Ryan Reynolds’ shirt in Deadpool 2
The T-shirt Wade wears when he wakes up in the X-men’s mansion has a picture of 2 cats on it: Olivia and Meredith. These are the cats of Taylor Swift, who is close friends with Ryan Reynolds and his wife.
8. Thanksgiving dinner outfits in Spider-Man
In the previous Spider-Man franchise, during Thanksgiving dinner, Peter Parker is wearing an outfit with the colors of the Green Goblin, while Norman Osborn wears the colors of the Spider-Man suit. As if this wink wasn’t enough, Harry Osborn wears all 3 colors combined, red tie, green shirt, and blue jacket.
9. Sabrina’s dress in The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina
The red dress Sabrina wears at the Academy of Unseen Arts is virtually identical to the dress Mia Farrow wore in the classic horror movie Rosemary’s Baby. This series makes constant references to horror classics. We will also find tributes to The Exorcist and Nightmare on Elm Street.
10. The butterflies in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again
In the baptism scene, Sophie wears a butterfly dress. In the flashback where we see Donna as a young woman, she is wearing a pendant with a large butterfly. This symbolizes the connection between mother and daughter and Donna’s free spirit, flying freely wherever it takes her.
11. Boromir and Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
After the death of his companion and compatriot Boromir, Aragorn wears his bracers and keeps them on throughout the whole trilogy of The Lord of the Rings. This gesture was a way of honoring his companion and keeping his memory alive in Aragorn’s subsequent fights.
12. The tigers in Shazam!
In Captain Marvel’s comic book, the character of Shazam had as a sidekick, an anthropomorphic tiger called Tawky Tawny who was supposed to come from India to better integrate into social life. As a reference to this character in the film, the buttons that hold the superhero’s cape have tigers embossed on them. Shazam also gives away a stuffed tiger — in Billy’s backpack there is a tiger and they even use the song “Eye of the Tiger” in the soundtrack.
13. Klimt’s influence in Bram Stoker’s Dracula
The costume designer of Bram Stoker’s Dracula was Japanese, so it’s hardly surprising that many costumes, and even the makeup and hairstyles, bring to mind the style of traditional Japanese Kabuki theater. But for the final costume of the count, the costume designer was directly inspired by Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss as seen above.
